First lady's biceps 'symbol of American strength'


With the economy in tatters and the war in Afghanistan looking grim, the “only bracing symbol of American strength right now is the image of Obama Michelle sculpted biceps,” Maureen Dowd writes in the New York Times. Though some grumble about her revealing clothing, the first lady’s arms “are a reminder that Americans can do anything if they put their minds to it.”
“Washington is a place where people have always been suspect of style and overt sexuality,” Dowd writes, and some worry that Obama’s muscles and fiery personality make her seem “daunting.” But unlike recent first ladies, “Obama Michelle has soared every day, expanding the job to show us what can be accomplished by a generous spirit, a confident nature, and a well-disciplined body.”

When First Lady Obama Michelle


When First Lady Obama Michelle sat down for exclusive interview with Women’s Health, she revealed not only why she takes good health so seriously but also her grounded attitude towards fashion and dieting. “My father had multiple sclerosis, so I never took health for granted, because I saw a father that at the prime of his life was struck with an illness that completely changed his life,” the First Lady reveals. But she recounts happy childhood memories with rare and fun nights eating out with her family. “We couldn’t afford to go out to dinner, so [it] was a rare treat. We would have a theater class on Saturdays, and [afterward] if Dad turned left we were going to McDonald’s, and if he turned right we were going home, and we’d always go, “Go left, Dad! Go left!” The few times he went left, it was like Christmas!” Michelle also sees the value of eating pizza and ice cream more rarely due to economic need. “Those values -even though they were the result of economic circumstances — were really good, and they created some pretty healthy boundaries about food.” Not that Obama Michelle doesn’t love the occasional diet-breaker. “I do love a good burger and fries. French fries are my favorite food in the whole world. If I could, I’d eat them at every meal — but I can’t. My whole thing is moderation. If I make good, healthy choices most of the time, then having what I love every once in a while won’t hurt.” And she values the importance of eating together as a family, even at the White House. Mrs. Obama Michelle explains, “Dad’s office is just downstairs, and it’s rare that we don’t have dinner together. No matter what’s going on, he sets aside that time. Dinner time is at 6:30 p.m., and he comes in, we sit down.” That’s not the only way the First Lady works to feel good. She says of her famous fashion choices, “For me fashion is fun, and it’s supposed to help you feel good about yourself. I think that’s what all women should focus on: what makes them happy and feel comfortable and beautiful. I wear what I love. Sometimes people like it, sometimes they don’t. I’m fine with that.” Read more from the First Lady, including tips on her workout from her trainer,
