The First, Healthiest Lady

I recently read an article about Michelle Obama in the October issue of Women's Health magazine. No matter what your political views are, you can't deny that the first lady is a powerhouse of a woman. Aside from her own political prowess, she is also known for her no-nonsense parenting, her passion for nutrition, and of course... her enviably muscular arms.
The cool thing is, Michelle isn't doing much more than you or I could do when it comes to staying fit and eating right. She lives a very moderate lifestyle—taking time to enjoy some junk food every once in a while—but she also sets limits and sticks to them. The thing I liked best about this article is how she's teaching her children about health. Her two daughters have learned at a very early age that proper nutrition, lots of activity and limited TV/computer time makes for a long and healthy life. I've taken some of Michelle's parenting techniques and am going to use them in my own household. After all, the current health care debate is centered around the fact that something needs to change. And that something, in my opinion, is the American tendency toward gluttony and laziness. We adults may be too far gone (though I refuse to believe that), but our children can still be molded for change. I encourage you to read the entire article. (It even includes her secret arms workout!) Let me know your thoughts on it.
