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.
