“I am still physically active,” said the former first lady, “and my goal now, instead of having ‘Michelle Obama arms,’ I just want to keep moving.”
(NBC) Michelle Obama is getting candid about the physical changes in her body since reaching menopause.
The former first lady, 58, opened up to People about her menopause experience in an effort to remove the stigma from publicly discussing hormone changes in women's bodies. “There is not a lot of conversation about menopause. I’m going through it, and I know all of my friends are going through it. And the information is sparse," she explained.
The Chicago-born attorney revealed when she lived at the White House with her husband, former President Barack Obama, she and her closest friends participated in self-styled fitness “boot camps.”
Now, the friends — who teasingly called Obama the "Drillmaster" — lean on each other as they navigate menopause together.
“I find that when we get together and we’re moving and we’re laughing, then we spend a little time talking about what we’re going through. ‘What’s a hot flash?’" she said. "We have girlfriends around the table who are OBGYNs, who have real information. All of that keeps us lifted up.”
