On the 5th anniversary of Michelle Obama’s “Lets Move!” campaign, she asked all Americans to celebrate with #GimmeFive. Use the hashtag at Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or wherever to share five ways you’re going to keep getting healthier, and then challenge your friends to do the same.
One of the most popular lists at Twitter right now is this one:
Cook at home ✓ Add fruits and veggies ✓ Eat with family ✓ Drink water ✓ Follow @MyPlate ✓
Beyonce shared five of her favorite workout moves on Instagram.
The First Lady asked for a list of five great vegetables, and here are five that you might be overlooking:
- radicchio
- leeks
- jicama
- fennel
- radishes
Add some of these to your soups and salads to bring back the excitement to your 5 veggies a day.
We’re also seeing suggestions to add just 5 minutes a day of exercise, to catch 5 waves with your friends, and to eat five servings of fruit.
The First Lady also issued some #GimmeFive challenges to friends, like this one:
