Mrs. Obama shows us her stuff.

Go Michelle!

Surprised her routine includes that bench jump thing. Seems unnecessarily hard on the knees.

 

[Glinda]

WOW! She's doing stuff I couldn't even do in my 20s!

Go Michelle!

I'm worn out, thanks Michelle. Very nice.

I saw this earlier......too strenuous for this ole broad, I probably could not do it in my twenties either, Glinda.

Surprised her routine includes that bench jump thing. Seems unnecessarily hard on the knees.

She seems very fit and her legs and glutes look strong. I did a similar jump on a much lower level, on my step for step aerobics with one lifter, so it wasn't nearly as high as her bench. My legs weren't as strong, but in doing those you felt muscles in your legs and glutes that you didn't even know you had. I've seen people doing that similar jump at the gym, I think if your muscles around the knee are strong enough, it doesn't negatively affect the joint.

I work on keeping the muscles around my knees strong and I don't have any knee issues. I don't do a jump like she does though, but I do a sideways lunge using a step and dumbbells. I love to jump rope but haven't been able to for months because of my plantar fasciitis. Never tried boxing. Looks kind of fun!
