ON THE QT
First Lady Jill Biden, along with Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, did a three-day campaign visit to Michigan in mid-May, focused on the economy and reproductive rights. Biden capped off the visit with the keynote speakership on Saturday, May 18, at the Legacy Luncheon for the Michigan Women’s Democratic Caucus at Huntington Place. Word has leaked that in the early morning hours of Saturday, Biden, a known fitness devotee, allegedly made time for herself by quietly attending the 8 a.m. barre exercise class at Barre3 in Royal Oak. Barre classes are a mix of ballet, yoga and pilates, and are definitely not for novice exercisers. One attendee of the studio, in her late 30s, said the classes are not easy, and that the majority of those working it are in their 20s-40s. No word on how the 72-year-old Biden sweat it out – or if any secret service agents put on leggings and lululemon attire.
