For a few minutes Friday, first lady Michelle Obama turned the hardwood floor at the Time Warner Arena into an elementary school gym.
Obama was in North Carolina for two Democratic Party events in Raleigh and Charlotte.
But before those fundraisers, she promoted the ?Let?s Move!? fitness program with children from two Charlotte elementary schools. It took place after the first women?s basketball game at the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament.
Obama walked to midcourt and addressed the crowd about her national anti-obesity campaign. She touted basketball as a way to keep active.
?We need them to be the next generation to handle challenges,? she said.
She promised she wouldn?t talk long because ?we?re going to be moving around.?
?There?s no better way than basketball to illustrate the point (of staying healthy.) We are a basketball family and my husband is a crazy fanatic about basketball,? she said.
