Michelle Obama [1] isn't just a badass author [2] or political figure, she's a badass in the gym as well. The former first lady recently shared a photo of her workout with a message that will resonate to anyone dragging their feet before hitting the weights.

"It doesn't always feel good in the moment," Michelle captioned a photo of herself lunging with a medicine ball. "But after the fact, I'm always glad I hit the gym." How else do you think she gets those sculpted arms? She went on to ask followers how they take care of themselves on "Self Care Sunday." Now that's something I'm going to be adopting in my own weekly workout schedule!
