As she begins a new chapter in her life outside of the White House, however, Obama is staying committed to staying in shape and she’s doing it with her girlfriends. In an Instagram post on Monday, the former FLOTUS showed her and her good friends working out together in what she called a “bootcamp.” In the series of photos, you can peep Obama and her pals planking, doing lunges and ab exercises, and stretching. In the caption, Obama shared that throughout their life transitions over the years, they’ve “done our best to stay healthy together.” She also encouraged her followers to find ways to make time for fitness in their own lives. “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.” See Michelle Obama’s boot camp below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4825034/michelle-obama-workout-photos/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4825034/michelle-obama-workout-photos/"},"headline":"Michelle Obama Continues to Get People Moving By Hosting a Boot Camp for Her Friends","datePublished":"2017-06-20T16:12:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:30.323Z","description":"Noted health enthusiast Michelle Obama is ramping up her commitment to fitness with an exercise boot camp for her girlfriends.","url":"https://time.com/4825034/michelle-obama-workout-photos/","keywords":["Newsfeed","fitness","celebrities","viral","Michelle Obama","health","Sports"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdf21cea215108f13/6988d2684ee2629c2230dccd/michelle-obama-fitness-routine.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdf21cea215108f13/6988d2684ee2629c2230dccd/michelle-obama-fitness-routine.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2015 Black Girls Rock! - Show","caption":"2015 Black Girls Rock! - Show","creditText":"Gilbert Carrasquillo—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4825034/michelle-obama-workout-photos/","name":"Michelle Obama Continues to Get People Moving By Hosting a Boot Camp for Her Friends"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Michelle Obama on Trump's School Lunch Decision: 'Think About Why Someone Is OK With Your Kids Eatin","description":"Former first lady Michelle Obama is criticizing a Trump administration decision to delay federal rules aimed at making school lunches healthier","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2TjR51sF/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-05-12T19:38:09.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2TjR51sF.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4825034/michelle-obama-workout-photos/","duration":"PT1M40S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4825034/michelle-obama-workout-photos/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
