US First Lady Michelle Obama did some push-ups and kicked around soccer balls alongside Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu as she closed out her visit to South Africa and prepared to leave for neighboring Botswana, ABC News reports<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

When Tutu introduced the first lady, he announced that she was a VIP, but then he also told each of the children in attendance that they were all VSPs, which the kids rightly guessed meant “very special persons.”<\/p>\n

The first lady said her co-host, a famed leader in the fight for racial equality in South Africa, was a special man.<\/p>\n

“Well, Archbishop Tutu, I think you’re a VSP, too,” she said, laughing. “You guys are going to show us some soccer moves. … Are you ready to? We might show you our moves.”<\/p>\n

Before the drills, the first lady urged the dozens of children to make safe, healthy choices.<\/p>\n

“In order to be a VSP, you’ve got to be what? A VHP \u2014 a ‘very healthy person.’ Right?” she asked. “Which means you’ve got to have the knowledge and the internal wisdom to make sure you’re taking care of yourself.<\/p>\n

“It’s hard to have an impact if you’re not in the best condition possible,” she said.<\/p>\n
