Michelle Obama on cover of Prevention Magazine for issue November, she’s look gorgeous, strong, healthy and smart in that pose. The beautiful lady is sharing about motherhood, marriage and her perfect body.

The First Lady said that Barack Obama‘s “emotional honesty” is one of the things that she finds attractive about him.

“One of the things that attracted me to Barack was his emotional honesty,” says the First Lady. “Right off the bat he said what he felt. There are no games with him — he is who he appears to be.”

She is speaking truly from her heart about her thought in fitness.

“I’ve always been a closet jock, but when I got married and had kids, that fell by the wayside,” she says. “My ‘aha’ moment came when our first daughter, Malia, was 4 months old. My husband’s exercise routine hadn’t changed a bit; he was still getting his workouts in, and I was getting irritated (laughs).”

Realize that it is all about prioritizing and commitment, Michelle Obama says, “So I started getting up at 4:30 in the morning and going to the gym. With exercising, the more you do it, the more you get into it.” She varies her 4:30 am workouts with Pilates, cardio, stretching, and weights. “I enjoy arm exercises because you can see what it’s hitting,” she says.

Feels in the best shape since she was 40s, after her daughters have gotten older,  “I’ve had more time [to work out] as my kids have gotten older. There was a period, actually right before the campaign started up, that I was really in tip-top shape. I was really there. And then my husband ran for president,” she jokes.

Does it mean she say no to junk food? she answer with wise, “I try to have no absolute no’s, I love French fries, I like a good burger, and I like pie. And that’s okay. I would be depressed if I felt I could never eat the things that I love.”

“There are some great bakers here,” she says. “If you like pie, it will be there always – at every meal. So for me, it’s about setting up new boundaries. I had some challenges with that, but I’m balancing out.”

And she applies the eating right habits to her daughter with moderation.
I also don’t want my girls to be obsessed about food,” she says. “We don’t have a ‘no junk food’ rule – I just want them to think about their choices. When my older daughter asks, ‘Can I have pie?’ I’ll say, ‘Did you have it yesterday? Well, what do you think?’ And she’ll come to the conclusion that, ‘You know, you’re right, I shouldn’t eat pie every night.'”

Mrs. Obama takes credit to her mother for teaching her to balance many facets of her busy life. She said, “She’d say being a good mother isn’t all about sacrificing; it’s really investing and putting yourself higher on your priority list.”

She is a great lady, smart and intelligent, and dedicated mom, love to know about motherhood in her side. It brings the new color to me. And I’m not the only one who adores her.
