Flights of FLOTUS: Michelle Obama in Motion, Week of May 18

In an article the first lady penned for Women’s Health magazine, she urged women to stop making excuses and get routine physicals and screenings and to work out regularly so they can live long, healthy lives. “I try to work out most mornings with cardio and weights. I also add yoga into my routine when I can, because as I get older I know it's essential for my flexibility and mobility,” Obama wrote. “I want to be as healthy at 75 as I am now — so I keep on setting, and pushing myself toward, new goals.”
