“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,” wrote the mother of two.

“Our bootcamp weekends were a reminder that if we want to keep taking care of others, we need to take care of ourselves first.”

In the shared photos, Michelle donned a white and peach tank top with a black hat. She performed some impressive strengthening moves such as the challenging plank pose as well as some lunges.

According to People, the workout session took place under the watchful eye of an instructor at a friend’s house outside of Washington, DC. The instructor took the group through some more mat work, which included some abs exercises.

While she was First Lady, Michelle Obama began the Let’s Move program which highlighted the importance of exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle.

She has since then kept on her dedication to health and fitness by attending classes at a Washington, D.C. Soul Cycle.

“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.”

She went on to encourage her followers to find their own ways of staying active throughout this summer period.

“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,” she advised.
