Michelle O wins Ellen's fitness challenge with 25 press ups


February 2, 2012

There's no end to Michelle Obama's zest for life. A few weeks after her fun-packed 48th birthday, the US first lady has been getting into the groove and showing off just how fit she is.During an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show, the mum-of-two launched into an energetic dance routine with the chat show queen by her side.

After busting some moves, the fabulous flotus - who's famous for showing off her toned arms - was challenged to a push up competition by her host.She managed an impressive 25 repetitions - prompting Ellen to joke that she didn't do as many because she "didn't want to show up the first lady".  Michelle also made a stop on the Jay Leno Show on Tuesday night where she urged the silver-haired host to improve his eating habits.Saying that he hadn't eaten a vegetable since the 60's, Michelle coaxed him into trying some apples and sweet potatoes fries that she had brough along with her.The mom-in-chief's high energy TV appearances are all part of her Let's Move campaign, encouraging Americans to adopt a healthier lifestyle.Just days before, her husband Barack entertained crowds by launching into a rendition of Al Green’s soul classic Lets Stay Together during a speech.
