WASHINGTON — At last, the secret to Michelle Obama’s sculpted arms? Tricep pushdowns and hammer curls. So says Cornell McClellan, the first lady’s longtime personal trainer, who described the workout routine of his famous client in the October issue of Women’s Health.
“She’s truly committed herself to the importance of health and fitness,” he says.
McClellan said that at the end of an intense routine of cardio workouts and weight training, Obama finishes with the “arm-shaping superset” of tricep pushdowns and hammer curls to tone one of the most commented-upon pair of arms in the world.
The details came as part of a series of interviews with President Barack Obama and the first lady on health care and their personal fitness and nutrition habits.
The president told Men’s Health magazine he works out six days a week.
