First Lady Michelle Obama Gets Soccer & Push-Up Happy In Cape Town!

First Lady Michelle Obama is bringing her workout routine that gives her those arms we all envy over to Cape Town, South Africa.  During her diplomatic trip, she did push-ups and played soccer with the kiddies.  But she wasn't alone--Archbishop Desmond Tutu was there to welcome FLOTUS as well!

 

Pics and deets inside...

It was all about the kiddies during Mrs. Obama's stop in Cape Town today.  She hosted a soccer event with 55 high school boys and girls from the township at the capital's brand new soccer stadium, and gave them a mini-inspirational speech after playing around with them a bit.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu got in on the soccer playing and push-ups as well.  Gotta love that.

 

Mrs. O rocked a colorful green blouse and navy blue slacks and her bright blue flats.

 

FLOTUS spoke to the kids about not being fearful of achieving higher levels than high school--and to not be afraid of attending University. 

The White House reports that a retired cleric asked the First Lady: "What do you feel? How are you feeling being here?"
Mrs. O answered, gesturing to her two daughters, her niece and nephew: "It's not about us now--it's about them."

The Obama ladies' next stop is Botswana.
