Washington, Feb 12 (ANI): Michelle Obama concluded a three-day, four-state tour in Florida on Saturday promoting the anniversary of her signature "Let's Move" initiative.

 

Launched two years ago, the campaign has been a key aspect of her tenure as First Lady and is designed to advance healthy eating and exercise in American children, ABC News reported.

 

The tour officially concluded with a stop at ESPN's Wide World of Sports complex at Disney World. With a company of Disney stars and professional athletes the 48-year-old participated in tennis, soccer, and number of other game activities for the children present.

 

She also demonstrated a new dance move. Called "the platypus walk," the lawyer danced, flapped her arms and twisted, inspired by the Disney TV show "Phineas and Ferb," which features a platypus character.

 

Also in attendance was Senator Bill Nelson, who did over 50 pushups in front of a crowd of roughly 1,400 youngsters and adults.

 

In a trip that has spanned Texas, Arkansas, Iowa, and the Sunshine State the first lady has barely paused. The tour has seen her participate in events with Bravo's Top Chef and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders highlighting healthy school lunches in Texas. (ANI)
