Well it certainly seems like Michelle Obama is on fire. After soundly beating daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres on her show after the two got into an impromptu push-up match on the show, the first Lady has set up the bar high again!

Appearing on Late Night with the host Jimmy Fallon, in a segment taped earlier, Mrs. Obama and Fallon got into the fighting spirit as the two competed over doing pushups, twirling hula hoops, dodge ball and tug-of-war. To end the ‘battle’ there was a potato sack race which the first Lady of the United States ended up winning.
First Lady Michelle Obama is out promoting the ‘Let’s Move’ initiative, which encourages healthy eating and keeping physically fit for American kids. The segment with Mrs. Obama was taped at the White House and will air Wednesday night on the Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Mrs. Obama has in the recent past weeks stepped up her ‘Let’s Move’ initiative with appearances on Late Night with Jay Leno, Rachael Ray and Ellen DeGeneres.
As the introductions happened the funny man said ‘I make a fool of myself every night, so I decided to go down there and help the First Lady out.’ With the ‘are you ready for a little competition?’ the first Lady had set a competitive tone. Mrs. Obama was also visibly physically fitter than the talk show host and as the climatic potato-sack race ended, a defeated Fallon said ‘It doesn't matter if you won or lost’, to which the first Lady replied, ‘It matters!’
