Michelle Obama says she's given up on having 'Michelle Obama arms' and just wants 'to keep moving' (via toofab)
"I find that when we get together and we're moving and we're laughing, then we spend a little time talking about what we're going through. 'What's a hot flash?' We have girlfriends around the table who are OBGYNs, who have real information. All of that keeps us lifted up."
But the workouts have changed."Some of it is menopause, some of it is aging," Obama explained."I find that I cannot push myself as hard as I used to. That doesn't work out for me. That when I tear a muscle or pull something and then I'm out. The recovery time is not the same." "You wind up balancing between staying fit enough and being kind enough on your body to stay in the game," she added.
Elsewhere she explained,"I am still physically active, and my goal now, instead of having 'Michelle Obama arms,' I just want to keep moving." She also said she's had hormone replacement therapy to treat hot flashes, something she said the medical community is still learning more about.
