Count Off! Michelle Obama Bangs Out 25 Push-Ups With Ellen (VIDEO)

Is there nothing First Lady Michelle Obama can’t do?

Ms. Obama made an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show yesterday and was surprised when the TV funny lady challenged her to a good old-fashioned push-up contest.

Mrs. O has been hitting up the talk show circuit touting her “Let’s Move” initiative, which provides healthy living tips to children and parents.

When Ellen challenged her to a push-up contest the First Lady dropped to the floor and began to count off.

“How many push-ups can you do? Because I like to do a push-up,” Ellen cracked.

The First Lady answered: “I don't know I can do some - can you? I know you've got these back issues.”

The pair started doing the push-ups on the studio floor with the audience counting along. Mrs. Obama completed about 25.

“I thought it wouldn't be good to show up the First Lady so I stopped," joked Ellen after quitting.

"I thought this looks bad that I'm going to beat her. I'm 54 and you're 48."

And of course, an Ellen appearance wouldn’t be complete if no one danced. Take a look as Michelle and Ellen count off marine style and bang out 25 push-ups - with a celebratory dance afterward.
