“Welcome to the Easter Egg Roll. But as you’ve heard, this is the fifth anniversary of Let’s Move. And we’re celebrating by taking over the Easter Egg Roll with Gimme Five…We’re asking Americans of all ages to give me five ways they’re leading a healthier life — five jumping jacks, eating five new vegetables, maybe doing a Gimme Five dance. You name it.” — The First Lady
