1. She Uses A Stationary Bike

\Ruah shared this Instagram video of herself working out. In the caption, she revealed that she rode 5 kilometers on a stationary bike. Penn State PRO Wellness reports that riding a stationary bike has a lot of benefits. “Riding a stationary bike can help build strength in your legs and lower body, especially if you use a higher resistance. The pedaling action can help strengthen your calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Additionally, it can work the muscles in your core, back, and glutes.”

In the previous post’s caption, Ruah revealed that she also ran a mile that day. Running is a great workout. FloTrack reports, “Running releases endorphins, which then trigger a positive feeling in your body. The chemicals released after any exercise improve your mood and decrease anxiety and stress. You get a boost of energy and self-esteem and your sleep also improves. Running can set into motion a continuous cycle of improving different facets of your mental health.”

3. She Works Her Abs

Ruah makes sure to do ab workouts. In the previous Instagram video, she is seen doing core workouts like mountain climbers and bicycle crunches. The Mayo Clinic reports that doing ab workouts has a lot of benefits. “Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach. The stomach muscles sometimes are called abs. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities.”

4. She Jumps Rope

In this Instagram video, Ruah is seen jumping rope. She captioned the post, “Ran 1.5mi with the kids next to me on their scooters, dropped them off at home, and ran another mile. Here are a few of the exercises I did afterwards at home... as you can see, you can use anything including the pups 🐕 comment exercise suggestions if ya have any!”

5. She Does Planks

Ruah is seen holding a plank in her Instagram video. Gymless reports that planks are a great way to stay in shape. “When holding a plank you are balancing your body on your forearms, and toes, the majority of the work in a plank is done by your core. The primary muscles worked are the abdominals, and obliques. The secondary muscles worked are the anterior deltoids, serratus anterior, trapezius, rhomboids, and glutes."

Kelly Ripa is resistance running in honor of the New York City Marathon – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the talk show host shows off her amazing body in a sports bra and leggings during a workout session with her trainer. “Congratulations to all the @nycmarathon runners today! Here we are all individually practicing because hey, you never know 🏃🏽‍♂️,” she captioned the Instagram clip. How does the 54-year-old eat her way to a youthful and ageless body? Here is everything you need to know about her alkaline diet.

1. Greens

Kelly works with nutritionist, Dr. Daryl Gioffre, he designed a healthy, nurturing, and sustainable diet for his star client. She starts with a morning cocktail – a scoop of his Acid-Kicking Green powder (dehydrated greens) from his brand Alkamind with a glass of water. "You have to eat your greens," he tells E! News. "But when you get it in the form of a green juice, what's happening is you're getting all those nutrients into the greens and you're getting a huge amount of greens in just eight-ounce servings."

2. Caffeine

Ripa enjoys the perks of coffee. She blends hers with grass-fed butter and Acid-Kicking Coffee Alkalizer. Why should you enjoy a cup in the morning? There are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation, explains Cleveland Clinic. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

3. Healthy Fats

Kelly also makes sure to get her healthy fats in. For lunch she makes a salad with microgreens, sprouts, avocado and raw nuts, full of lots of healthy fats. She also snacks on raw nuts throughout the day. "Instead of going for the unhealthy snack, she's always prepared," Gioffre says. "And that's the big mantra: 'Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.'"

4. Amped Up Protein Intake

Ripa also makes sure to eat enough protein. Her dinner is usually another salad with steamed vegetables or some sauteed vegetables or some grilled greens, he says. "And she likes to have the vegetables in season because they're just better for you. And then she'll have a protein and that could be grilled tofu or tahini or some fish protein."

5. Healthy Sweet Treats

Kelly doesn’t neglect her sweet tooth. However, she choose healthy options. One of her go-to desserts is a avocado chocolate mousse, made with avocados, pure vanilla extract, raw cacao, dates and sea salt. She also likes chocolate chia pudding for fiber.

Here’s a closer look at her approach to fitness and some of her favorite healthy habits.

She captioned it, “Thai-inspired Chicken Salad 🥑- 2 cups shredded chicken. - 1 avocado - 1 cup shredded carrots - 1 cup sliced cabbage - 1 bell pepper - 1 zucchini - 1 cup mushrooms - Asparagus - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup onion - 1/4 cup crushed peanuts & 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish. *Dressing* - 1/4 cup lemon juice - 2 tablespoons fish sauce - 2 tablespoons soy sauce - 1 tablespoon honey - minced garlic - 1 teaspoon grated ginger - 2 tablespoons peanut butter.”

2. She Uses A Resistance Band

Runck likes to use a resistance band when she exercises sometimes. She shared these photos of herself working out with one on Instagram. Runck captioned the post, “Starting my day with an at home band workout. Getting stronger with simple moves that pack a punch. 🥊 Booty training in full swing! What are your favorite exercises? 🍑”

3. She Works Hard

Runck makes sure to work hard. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Sweat + Sacrifice = Success. Put in the work like it’s all going to work out — and it will. Through the years, I have combined meditation, action, and weights into a single strength. I believe that when the body is strong, the mind thinks strong thoughts. Time spent away from the this makes me feel less whole. The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.”

4. She Does Yoga

In the previous Instagram post, Runck is seen doing a yoga pose. Yoga has a lot of benefits. Harvard Health reports, “Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body. It's not about physical appearance.”

5. She Works Her Abs

Runck has great abs, and she makes sure to do ab exercises. She shared this video of herself doing crunches on Instagram. The Mayo Clinic states that doing ab exercises are important. “Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.”

1. She’s All About the Abs

Smith works hard on her abs—and it shows. She shared a video on Instagram detailing her typical ab workout, and it’s not for the faint of heart. “Alt. Hanging Knee Raises: 3 x 20, Flutter Kicks: 3 x 40, Lying Leg Raises: 3 x 15, Scissor Kicks: 3 x 20, Hanging Knee Raises: 3 x 10,” she captioned the video. “Can I have your abs please,” an admiring commenter wrote.

2. Resistance Band Training

Smith loves using resistance bands for her ab and glute workouts. "You can loop them around your legs or arms, and they come in all different shapes and sizes. Like weights, they have different resistances to make your workout easier or harder," says personal trainer Jen Skym. "Resistance bands recruit the 'stabilizer' muscles – this muscle group is significant because it supports our larger muscles and joints when we move, and helps reduce the risk of injury. So they are a safe and low-impact option for older people, and are often used for rehabilitation."

3. She Lifts Weights

Smith incorporates plenty of weight lifting into her exercise routine. Weight lifting can transform your physique even if no weight is lost. "People say, kind of surprised, 'Well, I haven't lost weight, but I'm wearing different pant sizes.' If we didn't have scales, just had full-length mirrors, people would do a much better job of deciding what kind of exercise they should do or not do," says fitness researcher Dr. Wayne Westcott.

4. Glycolic Peels

Smith takes care of her skin, enjoying spa treatments such as glycolic peels. "Glycolic peels have some amazing benefits. By removing those dull, damaged layers and dead skin cells, you can address skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, photoaging, scars, uneven skin tones, fine lines, wrinkles, and even clear up acne," says Ife Rodney, MD, FAAD. "It also stimulates collagen production and keeps excess oil at bay, giving you healthier skin for longer. It's a procedure I recommend to my patients often, especially if they've struggled with skin discoloration or simply want more youthful, glowing skin."

5. She Runs

Smith loves running in the fresh air. “I think people have a love-hate relationship with running because it can be intimidating to start,” says Peloton tread instructor Jess Sims. “And to that I say, just start! Take some pressure off yourself. Running reduces stress because you need to be super present while doing it. I use running as a form of meditation, in which I really focus on my breath, sometimes even saying a mantra on the inhales and exhales. Running also allows me to separate myself from the other stresses of the day, giving me an opportunity to focus on bettering myself and enjoying a fun playlist.”
