Kelly Ripa With Flat Abs in Two-Piece Workout Gear Tries Resistance Running

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.

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."

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.

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.'"

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."

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.
