Tune-in tomorrow, Tuesday, November 10, to Sesame Street to catch first lady Michelle Obama participating in the show’s 40th anniversary season premiere. 
Michelle Obama will be featured in a segment with four young children and introduce the idea of vegetable gardening. She’ll show them, and Big Bird, how planting seeds in the ground will yield fresh, healthy vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce.
Last week Michelle Obama announced childhood obesity as one of the issues she would focus on, and Sesame Street is a fitting place to share that message, encouraging young children to eat a balanced diet that includes many vegetables.
The role of first lady is whatever she wants to make of it. Some prefer to stay pretty much invisible, while others like to take proactive roles with issues they are passionate about.
One of Michelle Obama’s passions in the first year of her husband’s term is promoting healthy eating… something that has become a sort of national emergency. Now she’s concentrating on childhood obesity.
“Nearly a third of all children in this country are overweight or obese… and a third will suffer from diabetes at some point in their lifetimes,” Mrs. Obama said in a speech at the Department of Health and Human Services.
“It is a major public health threat right now, so just imagine what we’re going to be facing in 20 or 30 years if we don’t get on this issue.”
Women often fear any kind of weight training because they don’t want to bulk-up or look ripped. However, Michelle Obama and Jennifer Aniston are perfect examples of how the right training can give you a lean, sculpted look, without people thinking you’re in a body-building competition.
Yahoo! Shine wrote that you can do the proper training to get “First Lady” arms with just 5 minutes of training a day. Who doesn’t have 5 minutes? Do the following routine, 5 minutes a day, every-other day.
1. Combine a band and a dumbbell. Offers triple toning benefits. Do 8-10 repetitions.
Sample move: Stand on exercise band and hold each end in each hand while you simultaneously do curls with a dumbbell.
