The First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama posted a 35-second workout video on Twitter to invite people on social media to also share five of their healthy habits, Associated Press reports.
Hey, @POTUS! This is how you #GimmeFive, FLOTUS-style… https://t.co/YF8nEtjUIA
— The First Lady (@FLOTUS) May 20, 2015
On her Twitter account, @FLOTUS, the first lady shows viewers some of her workout exercises such as skipping rope, abdominal crunches using a weighted ball, bench jumps, and kick-boxing in a gym inside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, just beside the White House.
"Don't forget. Always drink up," she says, at the end of her clip, encouraging people to always drink water.
This trending video is in response to President Barack Obama's "FLOTUS-style" dare in his own "healthy ways" video.
In his clip, the President shared his five ways to keep healthy like working out in the morning, drinking water, taking the stairs, eating fruits and vegetables - especially broccoli - and holding meetings while walking. Also shown in the video was Vice President Joe Biden, who joined him for a jog.
Aside from her workout, the first lady also answered "Gimme Five" questions from Twitter fans in a set of videos. Among the things she shared are five of her favorite workout tracks, which included songs from Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Meaghan Trainor, Fifth Harmony and Bruno Mars; and five vegetables they plant at the White House kitchen such as lettuce, spinach, bok choy, radish and "president's favorite" broccoli.
She also gave her favorite mom dances in her "Evolution of Mom Dance 2" video with TV host Jimmy Fallon and five of her family's ways to stay active together like going to the beach, talking with her girls about everything for long hours, playing with their dogs, cycling, and family dinners every night.
She also shared her five stress-reducing techniques like yoga, going camping, hanging out with her daughters and friends, meditation, and taking nature walks.
These video series are in celebration of the "Let's Move" fifth anniversary, the first lady's campaign against obesity on children.
