In an "Ew!" sketch with Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon and entertainer Will Ferrell, the first lady, while talking about the Olympics and other fun things, took the time to put in a plug for healthy lifestyle habits that she champions in her Let's Move campaign.

"Youโ€™re pretty strong, Michelle. You could totally be in the Olympics," Fallon, dressed as a teenage girl called Sara, told the first lady.

"I do try to exercise every day," Obama responded.

"Really?" Ferrell, dressed up as another teen girl, Stacy, chimed in. "Because I think exercise is ew!"

"Exercise is not ew!" Obama said, jokingly turning up her face, before getting serious. "You just have to find an activity thatโ€™s right for you. For example, I like to dance, play tennis, even do some push-ups."

Later, when discussing whether or not potato chips were "ew," the first lady pointed to kale chips as a healthy alternative, saying they were chock-full of "omega 3 fatty acids."
