If there’s one thing Kelly Ripa makes sure, she always has time for, aside from her family life with her husband, actor Mark Consuelos, and their three children, it’s her daily exercise routine.
It’s not something she considers optional, and it’s definitely not something she considers negotiable. When she also has a big event to attend on the red carpet, she also makes sure she has time for a spray tan, even if her schedule is already packed.
Celebrity tanning expert Jimmy Coco, who owns Sunless by Jimmy Coco, discussed working with Kelly and how she gets her trademark tan for big events. “I work with Kelly once a year, and it’s right before the Oscars.
I give her a tan, and it looks amazing. It’s a natural look. Timing the appointment, though, is a challenge because of her fitness schedule. She’s amazing to work with, and she’s always so much fun. I’ve been tanning her for the Oscars for a few years now, and I was actually excited when she first called me because I’m a huge fan of her.”
He also discussed how the timing of her appointment with him depends on her fitness schedule. “We always have to consider her workouts. We try to figure out when she’ll be working out and schedule the tan around that. Her fitness schedule comes first.”
It would make sense to assume that the spray tan comes after she works out, but it actually comes earlier in the day. This allows her to take a shower and then go out and work out without interfering with the spray tan.
While Kelly needs a spray tan to get ready for her functions, the same does not hold true for her husband, Mark Consuelos. According to Jimmy, his color allows him to look as if he has been sun-kissed, and so he does not need to go for a spray tan session.
When it comes to fitness, Kelly’s consistency can be seen as a major part of her daily habits. Kelly does not skip her workouts, and her fitness trainer, Anna Kaiser, has been working with her for more than a decade now.
“She trains about six days a week. Even when she’s traveling, she’ll find a way to do the session virtually. That time is reserved for her, whether it’s in the morning or evening, she makes sure to get around 45 minutes in.”
Anna also reveals her style of training, which combines “intervals of strength, and some cardio, dance, and power.”
According to her fitness trainer, Kelly’s consistency has not changed over the years. Kelly does not skip her workouts, and she makes sure she shows up no matter how she feels. This means she does not let her tiredness or lack of sleep stop her from getting her session.
