She Exercises Discipline with Workouts
Having lots of discipline is key to Kelly's fitness success. She told Yahoo's In the Know that she never skips a day. "I work out seven days a week. And I try to workout an hour and a half a day, no matter what — whether I'm working or not," Ripa shared with us. "If I'm working, maybe I'll start it a little bit later or a little bit earlier, depending on what day of the week it is. But I am very religious about my fitness." One of her go-to workouts? Dance-cardio class AKT, which she does four days a week, SoulCycle, which she does twice, and one day of running, she told People. "I love the dance class," she said. "Because I think I've aged out of going clubbing, really, that's my nightclub. Everybody there is my age, so it's like a bunch of us old ladies working out."
Energize with Exercise
Kelly doesn't need to drink a lot of coffee – she just works out! "I think that energy begets energy," she told ITK. "There are people that say, 'You must hate working out!' It's going to be so hard to push your way through [with that attitude], and I love working out. But it's like developing a love for anything: You have to really practice it to love it. And, so, I found that years ago I really figured out that the more energy I put into the gym or left on the dance floor, the more energy came back to me."
She Is a Teetotaler
Kelly and Mark quit drinking In 2017 which contributes to their "healthy lifestyle." She told Parade: "We did both quit drinking almost three years ago. Not that we were sitting around drinking day and night, but I think that there is something about like clean living—maybe that's what did it. Maybe that's the difference."
She Followers a High-Alkaline Diet
Kelly follows a high-alkaline diet, explaining to People that the low-acid meal plan is "responsible for [her] not being in pain" as it is anti-inflammatory. "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 Eats Lots of Plants
Kelly also tries to stay away from animal products, focusing mainly on plant-based food. "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," she told People.
She Drinks This in the Morning
Ripa told Harper's Bazaar that she starts her morning out with a unique concoction of Get off Your Acid's Daily Greens mixed with water, a mug of coffee and ghee, paired with personalized Persona supplements she dubs her "foundational vitamin."
