WASHINGTON – How many pushups can First Lady Michelle Obama do? It’s a question that Ellen DeGeneres wanted to know.

The TV talk show host asked Obama, “Can you do more pushups than I can do?”

The two then popped down on the floor and the audience counted.

The first lady managed to pull off more pushups than DeGeneres for a total of 25.
