During a “Google Hangout” chat on Monday, the First Lady explained that in addition to the kids getting fit, every other member of the family should take action, too – even the dog! She said, “You want to make sure they are eating a balanced diet, and if they are not an active dog, make sure that their food is reflective of an inactive dog and then get them out there and throw that ball and get them running.”
