Completed 25 push-ups on Ellen DeGeneres show beating the TV host
Michelle Obama has been touring California promoting her health agenda, so when she was challenged to a push-up contest on a TV show, she quickly dropped to the floor to prove she practiced what she preached.
The challenge began when daytime TV host Ellen DeGeneres asked the U.S First Lady on her show: 'How many push-ups can you do? Because I like to do a push-up.'
'I don't know I can do some - can you? I know you've got these back issues,' Mrs Obama teased.
To which the TV host stood up and took off her jacket, and a smiling Mrs Obama, who has completed push-ups with Archbishop Desmond Tutu stood up ready to take on the challenge.
During the show, Mrs Obama also revealed some bedroom secrets regarding husband Barack.
He doesn't pick up his socks.
'He thinks he's neat but he has people who help him. I'm like it's not you that's neat. It's the people who pick up your socks. Those are the neat people,' she told DeGeneres.
She also joined host the TV host in a boogie for the benefit of the audience.

The original article also has a picture of the always graceful Mega-Moo in action doing the Boogie and making a couple of racist gestures ... according to the Rev. Jessie and the Rev. Al. Can't post it due to AP restrictions, but you can be assured that she is every bit as dignified and ladylike as ever.
25 Push ups - BFD. What a slobbering media.
To be fair, that is impressive for a woman. Those look to be proper push-ups as well.
25 proper push-ups?
I bet that is better than 90 percent of Freeper men ;-)
WOW!! How LADY-LIKE!!

Alright, just watched the video. They are not proper nose to the ground push-ups, but rather partial half reps.
So, not quite as impressive then.
I believe the actual number was 22.
It was widely reported as “nearly two dozen”.
Probably. That woman does have some brass ones.
She’s so in love with herself. No class.
Not even close to a proper push-up..... well, maybe under liberal doctrine they are :)
Nah, I agree. I hadn’t seen the vid when making post 3.
I was mainly referring to the fact that she did not use the knees for more leverage - the typical female push-up.
But, after watching the vid, she is doing half reps...
To me a proper push-up is nose to the ground. That is what is used for testing in militaries etc.
Not bad but let’s see her to a pull up.
Completed 25 push-ups on Ellen DeGeneres show beating the TV host.Ha! Ellen let her win 'cause she likes to be on the bottom! (bada-bing, rimshot)
Why isn’t she doing those Push-ups at the White House instead of flying all over the country in a Government plane with Secret Service Agents, spewing for her Muslim husbands campaign at our expense.
Just having a great time spending our money.
She might appear fit, but I doubt she is healthy. All that rich fatty food she eats may be damaging her heart, kidneys and who knows what else. So no, I’m not impressed.
Competitive eating... guest hosts “Man vs Food”.
