She cheated on the pushups. She didn’t go down very far.

A push up doesnt mean youre in shape. Have her do a Crossfit WOD. She will crumple over in a heap.

Well, once again...it’s not the FAT and I mean good FATS, it’s all those WHOLE GRAINS that killing everyone AND making them FAT. Oh and sugar but I doubt Michelle eats anything with SUGAR!! LOL

Yes, it was a half assed push up because she didn’t go down very far. Ellen seemed to be in better shape on those push ups.

To me a proper push-up is nose to the ground. That is what is used for testing in militaries etc.

Military uses arms at a 90 degree level.

I just watched the video. MO wasn’t doing push-ups, but Ellen was. MO wasn’t even close to breaking the plane. She is a no-go at this station. MO, go to the back of the line for re-testing. NEXT!

Since I can only do 4 and she can do 22 she has more than I do. We must institute a push up tax and redistribute the push ups. We need a push up Czar. She must spread the push ups to the less able. I wonder how many push ups Warren Buffet’s secretary can do?

Yes. Is it too much to ask for a First Lady with a little class and dignity?

Nothing wrong with being "fit" and "athletic" but do you have to be an exhibitionist as well??

MO wasn't doing push-ups,

I did not see the video but even with partial pushups she can do more than 80% of 50 year old women in her age group.

I worked in a fitness center for some time and most women her age can only do kneeling pushups and maybe 10-15 at first..if that.

I don't have a problem with her doing pushups to promote exercise but doing it on the Ellen show was the wrong venue especially for the First Lady.

She really can be charming.

Unfortunately, her intellectual compass is very far off.

I agree with you- I like her one heck of a lot more than her idiot husband.

She has faults, she is a democrat, after all...

but these ‘wookie’ coments are beneath us here - this is not D.U.

Yeah, the FLOTUS only did 1/2 pushups. Those don’t count as a pushup at all.

Wished Ellen called her out on it, because Ellen was doing them more accurately.
