Biggest Losers to get White House workout

The contestants of The Biggest Loser were about to get the most famous workout partner in America.

NBC announced that the season-13 makeover week would unfold as a two-part event, airing April 3 and April 10. In the first installment, the contestants received a surprise video message from First Lady Michelle Obama inviting them to the White House — where, after their makeovers, they were reunited with their families. In the second, they met Mrs. Obama in person, and then she joined them, their families, and trainers Bob Harper and Dolvett Quince for the show's first-ever White House workout.

The First Lady also put the contestants to work: she challenged them to compete over who could sign up the most Americans for the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA), the six-week physical-activity pledge program tied to her Let's Move! initiative, with sign-ups running through April 25.
