    Michelle, now 53, captioned the photos with a heartfelt message. She reminisced about her time at the White House, saying, "When I was at the White House, I often hosted bootcamp weekends for my close girlfriends.

    When I was at the White House, I often hosted bootcamp weekends for my close girlfriends. It didn’t matter that we were all at varying fitness levels. Our bootcamp weekends were a reminder that if we want to keep taking care of others, we need to take care of ourselves first. And even though I’m no longer at the White House, I've continued this tradition and wanted to share some photos. My girlfriends have been there for me through all kinds of life transitions over the years – including a pretty big one recently! – and we’ve done our best to stay healthy together. Whether it’s a bootcamp or a walk around the neighborhood, I hope you and your crew can find some time this summer to be healthy together.

    Continuing the Tradition

    Michelle didn’t stop with her White House days. She continued this tradition even after leaving the White House. "And even though I’m no longer at the White House, I’ve continued this tradition and wanted to share some photos," she said. "My girlfriends have been there for me through all kinds of life transitions over the years — including a pretty big one recently! — and we’ve done our best to stay healthy together."

    Michele’s Fitness Journey

    Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Michelle has given us a peek into her fitness routine. Back in May 2015, the former First Lady released a YouTube video showcasing her jumping rope, doing crunches, kickboxing, and lifting weights while working out with her trainer.

    This 35-second clip was part of her #GimmeFive campaign, celebrating the five-year anniversary of her “Let’s Move” public health initiative. The campaign aimed to combat childhood obesity and promote a healthy lifestyle for kids. One thing is clear—Michelle looks better than ever, and we’re all a little jealous!
