When First Lady Michelle Obama was featured at the top of Barbara Walters' "10 Most Fascinating People" List, she was happy to reveal her fascinating fitness secret.
"It's been a whirlwind," the First Lady said of her 2009 year in review. After discussions of her year's accomplishments, the 80-year-old Walters had to ask if Mrs. Obama felt pressure to have "great arms".
"I mean," the First Lady starts out. "I really started after I'd had Malia, our oldest [daughter]. And some of that, in all honesty, was revenge because I'm married to a man who's worked out all his life," she explained.
Adding in the interview, "If there's anything that I can attribute these arms to, it's probably just determination." And by "determination", she means the will to wake up before sunrise.

"One of the things I always talk about is exercise," the 45-year-old said while campaigning last year. When Mrs. Obama was interviewed by People magazine, she said her workouts start at 4:30 a.m. and last 90 minutes at least three times a week."
In related news, Oprah is set to visit the White House and the Obamas for a holiday special airing Sunday on ABC.
