A Little Sweat Never Hurt Nobody: Beyonce Works It In Anti-Obesity Video

by Halle Kiefer (@hallekiefer)

We don’t know which part of Beyonce’s workout video is more likely to et us off the sofa: Bee’s sunny enthusiasm, the incredibly talented dancing kids or her ability to jump rope in stiletto heels. Oh right, it’s all three. Beyonce’s “Move Your Body” vid is apparently just the latest part of Michelle Obama‘s Let’s Move! anti-childhood obesity campaign. Considering rumors about Beyonce’s royal wedding performance, it’s nice of her to stop by and spend time with some good all-American lunch ladies. While the health-conscious jam might inspire kids to stay active by running “to the left, to the left,” it will also probably make a thousand flash exercise mobs break out during lunch time. The cafeterias of our junior high schools can’t take this much Running Man! Then again, if a child  is too busy doing the Dougie to eat his or her Honey Buns, Michelle and Beyonce would almost certainly put that in the victory category.
