Beyonce joins Michelle Obama on the Let’s Move! campaign.

Beyonce recently joined First Lady Michelle Obama on the national Let’s Move! campaign. The campaign targets childhood obesity. The singer has offered to re-work her hit song ‘Single Ladies’ to support the efforts.

The song ‘Move Your Body’ will have lyrics tailored to suit the campaign, ‘Let’s Move! Flash Workout’. The video will be distributed to junior high school students. Beyonce says of the video, “It’s all about promoting the benefits of healthy eating and exercise. But what we want to do is make it fun by doing something that we all love to do, and that’s dance.”

This instructional video is broken down to better teach the children the moves. One of the pre-choreographed steps involves learning ‘Teach Me How to Dougie’.

“I am excited to become part of this effort that addresses a public health crisis,” Beyonce said in a statement. “First Lady Michelle Obama deserves credit for tackling this issue directly, and I applaud the NAB Education Foundation for trying to make a positive difference in the lives of our school children.”

Select school across the country will receive the broadcast on Tuesday, May 3 at 1:42 p.m.

Michelle Obama has said that the first family will be bringing home a Portuguese water dog in April. The First Lady also hinted that the will be getting one from a shelter and not a puppy.

Portuguese Water dogs do not shed so it is a good fit for the Obama family. No names have been decided, however Mrs. Obama said they are considering some crazy names.
