Kelly Ripa's Workout

Not sure if anyone saw this on Live this morning, but Kelly demonstrated her workout. It actually looked like fun since it involved a lot of throwing the medicine ball, but I guess you'd need a partner for that. Here it is if anyone is interested:

Kelly's Fitness Regime

Back, Arms & Shoulders

"Chest Pass" - passing a medicine ball back and forth between you and a partner
Chest pass with one arm - catch the ball with both hands but push it back with most of the force in one arm (focuses on the bicep)
Forcefully throw the ball down at the ground, bouncing it up towards your partner
Push-ups (use knees if needed - work your way up to traditional push-ups)

Lower back, Legs & Butt

Squats

Arms & Abs

Chest Pass while sitting on a stability ball
Sit-ups while balancing on a stability ball
Push-ups while balancing your feet on a stability ball

Cardio

Always stretch beforehand
Go for a run (Kelly likes to go running with a partner - it gives you someone to talk to and helps to keep your breathing deep)
REMEMBER TO BREATHE!!
Sprint the last few yards if you're up for it!

I always see people working with the medicine balls at the gym with their trainers... definitely looks like a way to mix up your workout and do something that feels less like exercise.

Overall-- her workout seems pretty light-- but she is a naturally tiny person and probably has to do the bare minimum to be ripped... no pun intended.

Those medicine balls are harder to work with than you think. I hate when my trainer brings them!
