Celebrity Trainer Anna Kaiser in Workout Gear Trains Kelly Ripa

Celebrity trainer Anna Kaiser is showing exactly what Kelly Ripa’s workouts look like, thanks to social media. Kaiser, whose clients also include Shakira and Karlie Kloss, shared a video of herself teamed up with Ripa, breaking down her strength training exercise regimen. “Kelly’s workout routine with personal trainer @theannakaiser at the @annakaiserstudios,” reads the caption from the LIVE With Kelly and Mark Instagram account. Kaiser’s entire job is to be fit, healthy, and empathetic to help others—here’s how she does it, joyfully.

1. Eggs, Spinach, and Probiotic

A typical breakfast for Kaiser includes eggs and spinach. “I’m not a morning person, although that’s changed a bit since having my son, Brooks,” she tells PureWow. “I usually wake up around 6 a.m. and have a probiotic with alkaline water before he wakes up. Then, coffee! We spend an hour in the mornings playing and eating breakfast together before I head out for the busy day ahead. I recommend eating small meals all throughout the day. We’re all so busy that it’s important to keep your energy up. By eating all throughout the day—really healthy, clean food— your body will be receiving a constant stream of nutrients.”

2. Dance Workouts

Kaiser starts her day with a dance workout before private client sessions. “I love getting my sweat on first thing in the morning,” she told PureWow. “It gets me focused, energized and ready to take on the day… People always ask me what to eat before and after a workout. I recommend drinking caffeine 15 to 30 minutes before your workout to rev up your heart rate. My current favorite post-workout fuel is collagen coconut yogurt. You need to eat a good source of carbs and protein within 30 minutes of finishing your AKT workout for optimal nutrition, fat burn and muscle recovery.”

3. Heart Rate and Exercise

Kaiser recommends using a heart rate monitor to make sure you’re getting the most out of your workout. "Make sure you get your heart rate up, elevated and keep it elevated for an extended period of time," she tells ABC News. "Thirty minutes is great, if you can do that on a daily basis. Forty-five minutes is extra work. You can add more weights to make it harder, but use a heart rate monitor that is the best way...to know how hard you're working and to make sure your heart rate is actually elevated."

4. Fish For Dinner

Kaiser loves to cook dinner at night with her husband, saying it’s when she “comes alive.” The couple usually make fish and enjoy dark chocolate for dessert. “One of my favorite meals we make is salmon over cauliflower rice with fresh made tomato sauce,” she told ELLE. “The sauce takes a bit of time, but it's fun to spend some time catching up. And, if we've both had good sweat sessions that day, we'll enjoy a glass of wine or scotch together with our meal.”

5. Slowing Down

Kaiser takes a moment to slow down and restart when things get overwhelming. “Sometimes, when my day starts to get hectic, I sit down, take a breath, and reconnect to my mind and body before moving on,” she tells ELLE. “There is so much that I am passionate about and so many people that I love, it helps to remind myself how grateful I am for the life I am leading so as not to allow myself to get swept away in details of the day. Balance. I am always striving to stay centered and find balance in my day, my fitness, my food, and my energy.”

Kelly Ripa is getting ready for the Academy Awards by working her core. In a few new social media posts the talk show host shows off her washboard, rock hard abs in a black workout ensemble while getting her sweat on with Anna Kaiser, global fitness leader and creator of the popular fitness brand, Anna Kaiser Studios. “Oscar ready,” she wrote about the photos. ​​“Live with Kelly & Mark” are hosting their annual “After the Oscars” episode on Monday, March 11 from Hollywood’s Dolby Theater. Celebwell recently spoke to Kelly's trainer, who revealed details about her workout.

1. Power Push Ups

Kaiser, known for her dance-centric workouts that combine strength and interval training with fun movement, recently shared details about a recent workout. In it, Kelly does power push ups, according to Kaiser. “Try this new push-up challenge: Slowing down the lowering of the push up to two counts and then push up in one count, loading your upper body and then adding a quick burst of power,” she suggests. “I am always adding new variations of exercises or different ways to execute exercises to keep Kelly challenged and getting stronger!”

2. Workouts Alternate Between Strength and Interval Training/Power

Kaiser mixes up Kelly’s workouts every day “to alternate between strength and interval training/power,” she tells Celebwell. “Both are important to build and maintain lean muscle, increase bone density, stabilize HRV, skin tone, increased circulation and cell turnover, as well as ample time for recovery. Our focus is strength. We use cardio and conditioning intervals to boost her strength workouts.”

3. Dance

Dance is used in the workout to “train her brain,” says Kaiser, citing a 10-year study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. It found that learning dance and new movements was the only method that increased cognitive function by up to 75 percent. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine also discovered people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

4. Glute Work

Glute work is also key, per Kaiser. Kelly “loves to work her booty so in addition to high impact moves like dance, jump, squats, step ups, box jumps,” Kaiser tells us. “We also add glue isolations with extra weight and resistance bands.”

5. High Alkaline Diet

Kelly famously swears by a high-alkaline diet, a low-acid meal plan is “responsible for [her] not being in pain,” she tells People. “I actually eat much more on this cleanse than I do in my actual life, but it’s what you eat and how you eat it,” she said. She consumes no animal products. “I like to drink coffee. I occasionally will have fish. The alkaline diet is primarily a vegan diet, but I like cream in my coffee. I like to have a glass of wine. So I don’t adhere to it strictly, but when I do a cleanse, it will be seven days, and then I go back to my normal life. But my normal life, like I said, is not that different than the alkaline cleanse.”

Kaia Gerber, actress, model, and daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, recently celebrated her 23rd birthday, and fellow model Karlie Kloss marked the occasion by sharing a photo of the two on Instagram. In the photo, Gerber is seen in black workout clothes, highlighting her dedication to staying fit. Known for working with trainer Kirsty Godso, Kaia's fitness routine includes resistance training, treadmill runs, and TRX exercises. Here's a closer look at how Kaia keeps her body strong and healthy.

1. She Works With A Trainer

Gerber works with trainer, Kirsty Godso, to help her stay in shape. Having a personal trainer has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Fitness can be confusing. There is a lot of information to sort through. Eat this, not that. Cardio before or after strength training? Your trainer can help you find credible information and provide direction on your fitness journey. A trainer can help remove the guesswork so you can put all your energy toward accomplishing your goals.”

2. She Resistance Trains

Godso shared some of Gerber’s workout secrets in an interview with HollywoodLife. She says that she makes sure to do resistance training with the model. “One of the best ways to get toned is to incorporate resistance training,” Godso said. “If you don’t have access to weights or a gym, you can incorporate bands or just follow along using just bodyweight at home.”

3. She Runs On The Treadmill

Godso shared this Instagram video of Gerber working out, when she was 20. In it, she is seen on a treadmill. Healthy Talbot states that a treadmill has a lot of benefits. “Jogging or running on a treadmill helps to lose weight as well as burn fat quickly and effectively. Yet it’s easier on your knees and joints than outdoor running. This is the most popular advantage of working out on a treadmill workouts. Besides, these workouts burn calories at a faster rate than other aerobic exercises. To burn calories even faster, you just need to run longer and faster on the machine.”

4. She Does TRX

In Godso’s Instagram video, Gerber is seen using TRX cables. TRX has a lot of health benefits. Moorings Park states, “TRX training can be used to improve strength, core stability, balance, and flexibility. This fitness form allows for a full-body workout where resistance can be added or taken away by simply modifying the position of the feet or body…Any muscle in the body can benefit from TRX as this is a total body workout. Your arms, legs, core, and back are all used as your body is being held up by your strength. Furthermore, TRX is known to burn fat, build muscle, and improve flexibility.”

5. She Jumps Rope

Gerber is also seen jumping rope in Godso’s Instagram post. Jumping rope has a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic states, “Jumping rope can be a good form of cardio, which increases your heart rate and can help decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease. And when you increase your heart rate, you also burn more calories. So, how many calories does jumping rope burn? While it depends on your pace, on average, someone may burn about 100 calories jumping rope for 10 minutes.”
