The first lady his making her way around the talk show circuit, challenging various hosts to healthy challenges. Yesterday she convinced Jay Leno to try some vegetables and today she challenged Ellen to a push-up contest on “The Ellen Degeneres” show.
After talking about President Obama’s socks, Ellen and Michelle got down next to the couches to do some push-ups.
Michelle Obama has made it her top priority to change the way America eats. Her “Let’s Move” campaign encourages kids to eat healthy and to get outdoors. Last year, the “Let’s Move” capaign set a world record for most people to do jumping jacks at one time.
Here’s the video of Ellen and Michelle doing push-ups. Michelle won the competition, but it looks like Ellen had a little better form.
Are you impressed with Michelle’s push-up abilities? The First Lady is definitely in good shape but she doesn’t hold a candle to Jon Stewart .
On “The Daily Show” last week, Stewart did about 40 push-ups during a contest with journalist Paula Broadwell. Broadwell won, by twenty push-ups, and Stewart agreed to donate $20,000 to the charity Team Red White and Blue.
