Michelle Obama will take on the ultimate health-care challenge — trying to make a balanced diet and exercise sound cool.
The first lady is set to make a cameo appearance in a hip-hop video that encourages young people, particularly minorities, to eat well and get off their couches.
She’ll be on the song “Everybody,” one of 19 cuts on the album, “Songs for a Healthier America.”
The album will drop next month.

Its producers — Hip Hop Public Health and the Partnership for a Healthier America — support the first lady’s “Let’s Move!” campaign against childhood obesity and kids’ increasingly sedentary lifestyle.
Mrs. Obama — the sister of Oregon State basketball coach and former Princeton hoopster Craig Robinson — talks briefly in the video about “Let’s Move!” and people’s doubts about the obesity epidemic.
The song is performed by rap artist Doug E. Fresh, along with “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks, Dr. Oz and others.
