Cornell McClellan, Michelle Obama's trainer for the last twelve years, dishes on her "arm-shaping superset" in October's issue of Women's Health, which hits newsstands next week. Want your very own "first guns"? Here's the low down:

"Perform one set of tricep pushdowns using a straight bar attached to the high pulley of a cable station and then, without resting, follow with a set of hammer curls using dumbbells. Immediately repeat the entire process until two or three sets of both exercises have been completed."

But Women's Health is just the start. The Obamas are hitting Presidential Fitness hard this month. President Obama is gracing the cover of Men's Health (his second time), and Michelle's dominating with both Women's Health and Children's Health. The people at Rodale, the publisher of all three magazines, must be skipping around their cubicles. But why the White House push on the body Obama? Maybe it's stealth lobbying for Obama's new and improved Child Nutrition Act?
