Michelle Obama is going all out to help kids get healthy, and she brought in the heavyweights — figuratively, not literally of course — to help her do just that. Dominque, Gabby, Allyson, Bob, Bo, Colin, Sarah, Paul, Serena, and Ashton are some of America's best athletes and they, along with the First Lady, put their dance shoes on to encourage kids to keep moving.

First Lady Michelle Obama, athletes, and children do exercises during a Let's Move! Active Schools event at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, Feb. 28, 2013. The event is part of the First Lady'€™s Let's Move! initiative third anniversary tour.

First Lady Michelle Obama appeared on the Dr. Oz show on Thursday with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to announce a major new initiative to promote healthy lifestyles among children called Let's Move! Active Schools. The goal is to get schoolchildren to be physically active for at least 60 minutes total before, during, and after school.

For the appearance the First Lady chose a black and white jacket and a black and purple skirt, both with geometric patterns.  First Lady Michelle certainly is on the cutting edge of fashion!

First Lady Michelle Obama delivers remarks during a "Beasts of the Southern Wild" movie workshop in the State Dining Room of the White House, Feb. 13, 2013. Participating, from left, are: movie director Benh Zeitlin; actor Dwight Henry; actress Quvenzhané Wallis; and moderator Rachel Goslins, a member of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities.

First Lady Michelle Obama hosted eighty students from DC and New Orleans at the White House for a workshop with the cast and crew of the Oscar-nominated "Beasts of the Southern Wild," including director Benh Zeitlin, actor Dwight Henry and the movie's 9-year-old star, Quvenzhané Wallis, the youngest person ever to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.

Michelle called Beasts "beautiful, joyful and devastatingly honest," praising its message of strength and resilience:

It's a movie that makes us all think deeply about the people we love in our lives who make us who we are. It shows us the strength of our communities, no matter what they look like.  It shows us that those communities can give us the power to overcome any kind of obstacles. And it also tells a compelling story of poverty and devastation, but also of hope and love in the midst of some great challenges.

So there are so many important lessons to learn in that little 93 minutes. That’s the other cool thing -- that a director and a set of writers and producers can say so much in just 93 minutes.  And it doesn’t always happen in a movie, quite frankly, but this one did it, and that’s why I love this movie so much and why our team wanted to bring it here to the White House and share it with all of you.

Watch the whole workshop:
