Michelle Obama is known for her commitment to health and exercise. But who knew she was so tenacious when it comes to pushups?
On her talk show Thursday, Ellen DeGeneres invited the first lady to do some pushups with her. And Mrs. Obama didn't disappoint -- quickly dropping and doing 25, much to the surprise of the host, People reports.
"I just stopped," the first lady said, hinting that she could have done plenty more.
DeGeneres said she was going easy. "I thought it wouldn't be good to show up the first lady, so I stopped," she said. "Because I thought, 'This looks bad that I'm going to beat her.' I'm 54, and you're 48."
But Mrs. Obama clearly didn't need the help. "How amazing is that?" DeGeneres said.
Elsewhere in the interview, DeGeneres got to the bottom of a pressing issue -- whether President Obama picks up his socks.
"No, no, he doesn't pick up his socks," Mrs. Obama revealed. "He thinks he's neat, but he has people who help him. I'm like, 'It's not you that's neat. It's the people who pick up your socks. Those are the neat people.' "

New details have emerged in the "mysterious" death of Leslie Carter, including a possible cause of the 25-year-old's untimely passing.
According to a police report obtained by E! News, the former "House of Carters" star and sister of Nick and Aaron Carter died as a result of an overdose, with three prescription drugs found near her body.
The report was taken by officials who first responded to the 911 call, and per the document, the three prescription bottles found nearby were Olanzapine, used to treat schizophrenia or bipolar disorder; the muscle relaxant Cyclobenzaprine; and the anxiety medication Xanax.
Though official autopsy results have yet to be released pending the toxicology tests, a source close to the Carters tells E! News that family members believe Leslie overdosed on pills.
Per the police report, Leslie's stepmother Ginger found Leslie's unresponsive body around 4:10 p.m. Tuesday and immediately dialed 911.
Leslie and her baby (she was estranged from her on-again, off-again hubby) were living with her father, Robert, in Buffalo and, a source tells E! News, had been trying to wean herself off her medication.
