Ellen has been working out, so when Michelle Obama and her famous arms were on the show, Ellen couldn't help but challenge the First Lady to a friendly push-up competition. They also discussed their workout regimens. Who did the most pushups? Watch here!

Trust the sad b......'s to complain about the 90 degree bla bla bla push ups!!! Who gives a rats a... about that, you guys were both briliant. I love the show and you're both an inspiration to the human race.....love ya, from "jolly" old England

Ellen you did a good job doing push ups, but you did not do all 25. The first lady did all 25 push ups. MRS OBAMA is tall. She has long arms, long legs, and the angles she was doing push ups was perfect for her height. Ellen you are beautiful on the inside and outside. You are the funniest person I have ever seen. I love you. I am your number one fan. When I am watching your show I always have a smile on my face. Keep up the good work.

Just watched the clip from the show with the First Lady. Missed the show the other day and forgot to tape but I saw the exercise part and it was great. There has not been or ever will be a First Lady like Michelle Obama. Ellen the First Lady got on the floor with you on national television and she didn't blink an eye. It's so great, hope we have 4 more years with them. Loved the clip

Awesome!

Hi Ellen,i've always enjoyed your shows and i just watched a clip (pushups challenge with the first lady M. Obama),i would have loved to watch the whole thing but unfortunately the episodes are so far behind here in Africa(Zambia).

Hi Ellen! You made the Dutch news with your push-up challenge against Michelle Obama! ;-)

Hi Ellen, It was just a great show with First Lady Michelle Obama.

Hi Ellen, I love your show with the First Lady, like you I support her and her husband 100%, and I think she is doing a wonderful job as the First Lady. She seem to be so down to earth,such a nice person. The push up challenge was lots of fun, I loved how you and the First Lady set up the challenge. And I enjoyed the dancing with the kids too. I too think our schools need to get physical ed back in our schools. One more thing that teacher up there is a inspiration.

The point of this is to promote "let's move" not show who's macho or who's better at it.

Well done Michelle and Ellen, I'm younger than the both of you and I need to....move. Great show

Ellen, I agree with "Military member"...
First Lady Michelle Obama did not come far
enough down with most of her push-ups :^)

And how kind of you to stop so you wouldn't
show her up. I could see you had more steam
in you :^)

Loved the pushups Ellen,what a true honor it must have been to compete in a challenge with Michelle Obama!!Would've probably fell on my face,great to see competition & health be so fun together,encouragement is the best medicine or the young & old at heart!!

Hi Ellen,
Words cannot convey how heartfelt I am from your support and contributions to the children and families of Chester Upland School District. As, a former educator of this school district, the exposure of this public crisis and inequity of resources for minority children needs to be investigated. All children, regardless of class and socioeconomics deserve a right to a quality education. God Bless You!

Hello Ellen and staff, U continue 2 amaze n delight me, I mean I smile everyday when I do catch your show which is about all week :)
Your challenge to the First Lady M. Obama was indeed great in that as First Lady there is no other!! I love seeing her be a public figure and I agree with Michele M. Arbour's post: "love the challenge with First Lady Michelle Obama,a great sport. No other First Lady would do such a thing!"
I do believe that we need physical activity back in the school systems. It was good for me and all tho I do own sweats and an ugly tee to work out in I NEED something to motivate me?! I am 45 and can't do but about half the pushups you did on todays show. Perhaps I can win one of those Fitness Watches?.....going to go enter to see. Thank YOU ELLEN So Much for the support daily and the laughs U really do help one to cope! You are doing a Great Thing!!!

HELLO: ELLEN, PORTIA, MAMA AND STAFF: FEB. 2, 2012
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT MRS. OBAMA DID NOT COME ALL THE WAY DOWN IN MOST OF HER PUSH UPS. AND YOU DID.I DID ENJOY BOTH OF YOU, TAKE CARE,

Michelle You GO GIRL!!!!!

Ellen, I love your shows, especially, this one with the First lady. Very beautiful!

nice show

Ellen,
Just want you to know that Mrs Obama did not come down 90 degrees in most of her push ups - they would not have counted in the military Physical Fitness test. You win!

hey ellen
just took the chance to thank you for your shows. Unfortunately they're not broadcasted in german TV. But be sure, that there's a german girl laughing even if i'm sad while watching these videos.
Lot of hugs and a massive DANKE :)


Ellen love the challenge with First Lady Michelle Obama,a great sport.No other First Lady would take up that challenge!

Four more years 2012 OBAMA!


Love you and Portia,Mama BIG HUGS and KISSES.Have a great weekend and be safe.

Michele
