Michelle Obama is not only the First Lady of the United States, her impressive workout routine also proves she’s the First Lady of the gym! Not even her hectic work and travel schedule can keep her from her commitment to health and fitness.
And those famously toned arms? Those are the result of dedicated workouts with her personal trainer, Cornell McClellan, whose plan is an intense weight-training routine made up of various movements that work multiple muscle groups. First Lady Michelle Obama’s workouts are known to feature rope-jumping, kickboxing and body-weight exercises at a lung-bursting, rapid pace.
Want to follow her lead? Workout like the First Lady with these three fitness routines from McClellan:
The 9-Minute Arm Workout: This workout may have only two moves, but it will sculpt your biceps and triceps and give you FLOTUS’s toned arms in no time.
The Ultimate Hip and Thigh Blaster: It’s shorts season, so who doesn’t want to firm up those thighs? This five-part lunge exercise will hit your legs and hips from every angle.
The Cardio Workout You Can Do Anywhere: If you’re on the go like the First Lady, this is a great way to get your cardio in at home, or anywhere. The mountain climber routine will help you shape up in a jiffy.
