Michelle Obama cranks out 25 push-ups on 'Ellen DeGeneres Show'

Michelle Obama proved she isn't just talk when it comes to exercise and wellness, busting out 25 push-ups on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Wednesday.
"How many was that?" DeGeneres asked the audience.
"I just stopped," Obama said after the crowd yelled out a resounding number of 25 push-ups.
Obama appeared on the show, set to air Thursday, to promote her “Let’s Move!” campaign, which encourages daily exercise and good eating habits to combat childhood obesity. The first lady recently unveiled updated nutrition standards for school meals required by the 2010 school nutrition bill with the help of celebrity chef Rachael Ray and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
Obama told DeGeneres that she is able to fit in a hour and a half work out — usually cardio activity, weight lifting and plyometric exercises — every day, usually after getting her two girls off to school.
DeGeneres then threw the gloves down, issuing her the push-up challenge.
"I can do some," she said. "I was just wondering if you could do more push-ups than I can."
Obama accepted the challenge and both women tore off their jackets and settled into push-up position. With the crowd counting along enthusiastically, the first lady seemingly effortlessly made it to 25. DeGeneres only made it to 20, lying exasperated on the floor while Obama wrapped up.
"And I thought it wouldn’t be good to show up the first lady,” quipped DeGeneres. “So, I stopped because I thought this looks bad that I’m going to beat her."
Props where props are deserved, you otherwise-socialist nannystate cow.

Good for her. Keep it up. We should all exercise more.

Moochelle BARELY bent her elbows – those were NOT pushups by ANY means. I am not surprised that the lamestream media is working overtime to failingly repair her well-earned vile, mean, angry image. Suckup Leno was in on it, too.
Her mental gymnastics are non existent so if she’s going to do anything.. let her jump up and down. At least it’s not completely offensive.
And eat what Moochelle demands.
Might as well get used to her...she isn’t going anywhere. :-(
We can never know what the world has in store. Keep the faith.
“At least it’s not completely offensive”
I respectfully disagree, any image or video of that linebacker is offensive by nature, IMO.

"..can she sing "The Nights the Lights Went Out in Georgia?"
Were they real pushups, or “girl pushups” (with the knees on the floor)?
Ellen did quality push-ups.
Her pushups were not full range of motion pushups. She didn't go down very far (just made a slight dip). Unimpressive.
What un-impresses me is this fat arsed, fame ho everywhere I look.
Oh, and Mooch...I’d consider working that lower bod a bit if I were you.
How LADY-Like!!/SARC
Michelle...
....You da man!
