Ellen DeGeneres has all the fun! If she’s not hamming it up with Sofia Vergara then she’s doing push-ups with First Lady Michelle Obama.
Mrs. Obama stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week when Ellen asked about her physical fitness routine, physical fitness is intergral to the First Lady's "Let's Move" campaign.
Ellen teased, asking if Mrs. Obama spends all of her time working on her arms – which are rather buff and have been the subject of not-so-political discourse– and then threw down a gauntlet asking if the First Lady could do more push ups than her.
Not one to play, Mrs. Obama said she didn’t know because Ellen has all of her “back issues.”
That’s when the two of them took to the floor for a push-up off. We won’t tell you who won, but we bet you can guess.
