First lady Michelle Obama visits US Open

It is great that the First Lady can get out and enjoy events like the US Open. She is showing our children the importance of exercise by doing it and not just talking about it. She is also showing our children that they can play any sport they want. Mrs. Obama is a great example to women of all races, ages and backgrounds.

Michelle Obama was pictured showing off her tennis skills at the US Open in New York as a part of her ‘Let’s Move’ campaign, which encourages physical activity and is against childhood obesity.

The first lady was dressed in a fitted white jacket and black workout pants while she spoke to children, and also played doubles against Serena Williams along with doing some hula-hooping during her first visit.

“I’m not really good or anything like that. That’s the beauty of tennis,” the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

“You don’t have to be good to enjoy it. I love the game, and my skills are very questionable,” she stated.

Obama was later seen joining the kids in a tennis video game, table tennis and other activities at an indoor facility at Flushing Meadows designed to get young players excited about the sport.
