The cohost of Live With Kelly and Mark, who is 53 years old, prioritizes her workouts, which is something that her client, Kaiser, greatly admires about her.

Kaiser mentioned that for Ripa, her workout time is sacred as it is the only time she has for herself. She understands that she will feel better afterwards. Even if she only has 15 or 20 minutes a day, which is rare, Ripa still shows up. Kaiser has never encountered anyone else like her and finds her commitment commendable. This is why he enjoys working with her so much, knowing that she values and respects that time.

Due to Ripa's busy schedule, her fitness routines are constantly evolving to suit her lifestyle. Kaiser, her trainer, aims to incorporate all four modalities into her workouts. This includes athletic conditioning, intervals, sculpt and spring sessions, as well as recovery, flexibility, and strength exercises.

Kaiser mentioned that Ripa typically works out five to seven times a week, allowing for a well-rounded mix of exercises to maintain a good balance in her fitness routine.

The trainer explained that Ripa's workout routine includes a mix of intense days, cardio-focused days, rest days, and strength days. She also mentioned that Ripa continues her workouts virtually when traveling or unable to meet in person.

Kaiser praised Ripa for her dedication, emphasizing that she takes her workouts seriously and has been committed to her fitness routine for 13 years.

Ripa is not only active but also a very healthy eater. Kaiser mentioned to Us that even though Ripa is not a fan of protein, she acknowledges its importance.

Ripa has learned that protein is “important for muscle repair and maintenance,” which is why she’s “working on incorporating more” of it into her diet, per Kaiser.

The actress from All My Children fills her day with plenty of fruits and vegetables. She begins with avocado toast topped with hemp seeds or a refreshing smoothie. Kaiser mentioned that Ripa always has nuts and seeds in her dressing room for a quick and easy snack.

Kaiser also mentioned that Ripa's lunch is just as balanced, typically a salad loaded with vegetables and legumes. For dinner, Ripa opts for a meal that includes protein and steamed veggies.

Ripa makes sure to fuel up after a workout as well, nibbling on yogurt and chia seeds, according to her longtime trainer.

“She loves the dessert, especially on vacation,” Kaiser shared. “But for the most part, she’s very clean. It’s important to her.”

Ripa's busy work environment, combined with being in her 50s, has motivated her to prioritize her health even more.

According to Kaiser, Ripa realizes the significance of fitness, especially as she gets older. It not only boosts her energy levels but also improves the way her body feels, keeping her joints flexible and strong.
