Three days ago the CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler, met with President Obama and, when describing the company he mentioned P90X, only to hear that P90X is the program that Michelle Obama is using! Carl rapidly responded (knowing the Pres was quickly going to need to get to the next person waiting), "We've heard a lot of people in the White House are using the program, and we're all really proud of the work the First Lady is doing with the Let's Move campaign in fact we think that to really turn around childhood obesity it's critical that the parents are the example (BREATH) that's what's so impressive about what she's doing because she's a role model that hard work of real fitness is worth it and we'd love to talk to you both sometime about what we're doing with Team Beachbody which is really changing the health and fitness model and is getting more parents accountable (BREATH) which is showing the kids that fitness is not just something we're SAYING is important it's something we're SHOWING them is important by taking on."
Then the President interrupted Carl and said "I totally agree. We definitely want to hear more about what you are doing - and I mean that." He turned to his entourage and said "Let's make sure of that OK guys? I want to make sure we follow up and connect with them to hear what these guys are doing."
How is that for awesome, the President is ready to make time to focus on fitness!
If you haven't heard about the Let's Move Campaign, it is touted as "America's move to raise a healthier generation of kids". People are finally focusing on the importance of what we eat and how we move our bodies, make sure you start now!!!
There is nothing like teaching children by example, so start moving!
