Fitness fads change, but the sweat and tears are forever. Thankfully, Parks and Recreation star Nick Offerman had First Lady Michelle Obama to cheer him on as he exercises through the past 60 years in Funny or Die’s sketch “History of Exercise.”

Starting in the 1950s through the 2000s, Offerman tries out the hottest exercise trend of each decade.

Offerman easily makes it through the vibrating belt machine of the 50s and the electric muscle stimulation of the 60s — with a quick cameo from nurse Megan Mullally — but starts to sweat it out in technicolored leggings and a poor re-enactment of Olivia Newton John’s Physical.

But fitness angel Michelle Obama is here to save the day, appearing in a cartoonish bubble above Offerman’s head and telling him that she loves his wife. (Same, Michelle.) The first lady throws Offerman a water bottle and pumps a few irons with him in solidarity, helping him make it through the 90s and 2000s in a flash.

The sketch was made in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, which launched a new app and website for the #0to60 campaign, a nation-wide initiative to encourage healthy living and nutrition. The website and app both feature the Funny of Die sketch, which was made in collaboration with the President’s Council, the National Foundation on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition and SS+K.

It’s fitting for Obama, who pioneered her own fitness and health initiative Let’s Move! in 2010 to encourage kids to eat healthy foods and exercise.
