Michelle Obama was spotted getting in an early afternoon workout at SoulCycle in Washington DC on Thursday.

The former first lady was photographed making a quick exit from the spin studio after taking a noon class and heading straight towards the small envoy of Secret Service cars waiting to take her back to the $4.3million home she and husband Barack are living in with daughter Sasha.

Michelle seemed eager to go unnoticed during the outing, a goal she successfully achieved thanks in large part to the black hat and dark sunglasses she wore to cover her face, which paired perfectly with her black shirt, black spandex and black flip-flops.

This marks the first time that Michelle has been spotted in DC since she and her husband walked down the steps of the Capitol and boarded a helicopter out of the capital an hour after President Donald Trump was sworn into office on January 20.

That was over a month ago, and since then the Obama family has been enjoying some much needed time off after eight years in the spotlight.

All good things must come to an end however, and following a four-week span in which members of the Obama family were seen soaking up the sun in Palm Springs, kitesurfing in the Caribbean, protesting at Sundance and partying with the girls of Girls in NYC, everyone is finally back home.

Sasha and her parents are together in DC after returning from Aspen on a private plane Wednesday, while Malia is busy working in New York as an intern for film producer Harvey Weinstein.

And with some free time on her hands after eight years in the East Wing, Michelle decided to go have some fun at a spin class.

Michelle herself has admitted to having a bit of an addiction to SoulCycle, much like fellow devotees including Chelsea Clinton, Kelly Ripa and David Beckham.

Ivanka Trump on the other hand favors the Flywheel, SoulCycle's biggest competitor.

People began to post on social media when they spotted Michelle in their classes a few years back, and in a video posted on her own Twitter account in May 2015 to promote her hugely successful 'Let's Move' initiative, Michelle said that the classes were one of her favorite things to do with Malia and Sasha.

'I love it when my girls join me for a little SoulCycle,' said Michelle.

'We all are in the dark, moving to the beat on the bikes. We love it.'

Oh no: Michelle managed to keep her identity a secret from most around her by covering her face with large sunglasses and a dark hat

He knows: One man (above) appeared to quickly realize that he was in the presence of a famous person who may have formerly lived in the White House

Uncertainty creeps in: He seemed desperate to get a full glance at Michelle's face so he could confirm his sighting

Slipping away: Michelle kept her head down and continued on her trek to the car

Gone girl: Michelle was quickly returned to her new home in the two-car Secret Service envoy after class

The dimly-lit studios are part of the reason she would find ways to make secret visits to one of the two locations in Washington DC to take classes while her husband was in office, something that was almost impossible to do at the time.

That was due in large part to Secret Service protocols, which require a team of agents with the first lady at all times while she is in the White House and only one agent with her after she has departed 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and returned to life as a private citizen.

That smaller detail will remain with Michelle for the rest of her life now thanks to the lifetime protection bill her husband signed into law, which gives all former presidents and first ladies Secret Service agents for life.

Children meanwhile only get them until they are 16, unless an order is signed to extend their protection.

Michelle managed to do a remarkable job flying under the radar on Thursday, a feat that was made all the more difficult due to the unseasonably warm weather in DC which had people heading outdoors around lunchtime when temperatures were in the low 70s.

Working through it: She also said that her favorite thing to do with he daughters was attend SoulCycle classes

In the end, only one person on the street could be seen doing a clear double-take after realizing who he had just spotted, while everyone around him was completely oblivious.

Michelle did not look up at the man however so he could get a good glimpse at her face, and he could be seen straining to confirm the sighting while Michelle briskly got into her waiting SUV and headed off.

That same detail was waiting on the tarmac at Washington Dulles International Airport on Wednesday afternoon for an Obama family member or two to land following a long weekend in Aspen.

Sasha, 15, had been spotted at the Colorado ski resort over the weekend as well as Malia, though the sisters were with different groups of friends.

Malia jetted out of Aspen on Monday morning after spending just 48 hours with a few of her wealthy friends, flying coach on a flight that connected in Chicago before arriving back in New York City.

Sasha on the other hand flew private on Wednesday when she departed Aspen for DC on a jet belonging to a family friend, and was whisked away with her family in an envoy of Secret Service vehicles to her new home.

Checking things out: The family is finally getting settled into their new home after some time away

The Obamas are now settling into their Kalorama digs, an 8,200-square-foot-home that offers such luxuries as separate dressing rooms and his and her bathrooms, an entertaining space, and a tranquil garden.

There are also nine bedrooms and eight-and-a-half baths in the residence, which should come in handy for when Malia returns, Secret Service agents, and Michelle's mother Marion Robinson.

It is also just a three minute walk from the $5.5million home Ivanka Trump moved into with her family last month, just in case Sasha ever wants to go over and offer the current first daughter any advice.

The Obamas are leasing the house from Joe Lockhart, who served as press secretary to Bill Clinton, and his wife Giovanna Gray, an editor for Glamour.

Sasha, who was on break this week from Sidwell Friends School, is in her sophomore year of high school and will be staying in DC until she graduates.

Malia meanwhile is only in the Big Apple for a few months, and will be heading up to New England come August to start her freshman year ta Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

She was seen on Thursday hopping out of a cab and heading into her internship wearing an over-sized jean shirt and black leggings.

It is a big week for The Weinstein Company, whose film Lion starring Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman is nominated for six Academy Awards.

This means that after trips to Palm Springs, Sundance, and Aspen in the past four week, Malia could also have managed to score herself an invite to the Oscars.
