ミシェル・オバマも毎日ピラティス - 2019.11.22

ミシェル・オバマは毎朝ピラティスを励行しているのは有名な話。このくらいの方になると、一度決めたことはとことんやりぬく実行力と精神力が備わっているのでしょうね!!!

インタビューで語られている「if we want to keep taking care of others, we need to take care of ourselves first.」に同感。

Keeping fit and healthy is incredibly important to Michelle, and she previously pioneered the Let’s Move! Public health campaign to aim to reduce childhood obesity and encourage a healthy lifestyle in children. The 53-year-old said she always wants to be in the best health she can possibly be, telling Prevention: “I always want to be on the cusp of being in the best shape that I can be. What I’m discovering is that the older you get, the more work you have to do to stay there. When I was younger, I could eat whatever I wanted, as long as I exercised; or if I didn’t exercise and just watched what I ate, I’d maintain. Well, now I have to do both.”

Michelle also revealed how she had changed her workouts over time. “I’m varying my workouts so it’s not just cardio but also includes moves to maintain my flexibility,” she explained. “I incorporated Pilates and do much more stretching.”

ピラティス以外にカーディオトレーニングなども取り入れています。長年エクササイズに真剣に取り組んできた人の動きですよね。

 

エレン・ショーでもプッシュアップ!女性は自分の限界の7割以下ぐらいのことで「できません」と口にする自分に甘いタイプがどうも多いのですが、それじゃあ身体ってかわらないんですよね。早い段階で自分の甘さをできる限り排除して取り組むか、逃げて逃げて逃げまくって過ごすかで、ミシェルと同じ年(現在55歳)になったときに、相当な差が出ます。
