Michelle Obama held a Puppy Bowl training camp

In the lead-up to Sunday’s highly anticipated Puppy Bowl, this year’s 13 adorable contestants visited the White House for a puppy training camp with Michelle Obama and presidential pets Bo and Sunny. The event came as part of the First Lady’s Let’s Move initiative.

Politico reports area grade schoolers helped to put the pups ‘through the paces’ of training.

“Bo and Sunny lined the pups up for practice on the White House South Lawn to run through tire and tackle drills, hone their ball and chew toy skills, play fetch with the kids and of course take a requisite water break with the First Lady followed by a nap in the grass,” according to an adorable press release.

If playing with puppies counts as exercise, I think it’s about time to get in shape.
