lookin fit and gorgeous! i would love to know what celebs REALLY eat and how much they work out to stay like this….
She looks amazing! I’ve always thought she was so cute! But I agree with southerngumdrops, I wish some celebrity would be real & actually tell the public what it takes.
stil waay to skinny
Cute outfit. She looks great. Sometimes her arms seem to be too muscular, depending on the angle and lighting, I guess.
she has my dream body
i agree i mean if they are honestly healthy, im surprised more of them arent willing to share their regimes. I think it would help promote and healthier attitude towards weight loss and fitness. Not to mention, make goals like this more attainable to women who think it seems impossible!!!
ok, i think she needs to cool down a bit on her workouts…it’s just too much…she has NO body fat, and it looks just wrong! no shape to her at all, except for the major padded bra she is wearing under that shirt…this process is againg her terribly, she must be simply obsessed with working out!! balance baby, balance!!
She said in a recent interview she worksout everyday, runs and lifts weights for hours and she rarely eats anything besides fruit, veg, and light meat. And I belive her 100%. But she’s obsessed with exercising it looks like, any woman with a body like that must be obsessed.
People who say “eww” don’t know what their talking about. There’s nothing wrong with her wanting to maintain muscular body. Look at that Kardashian chick, she’s flaunting her soft and feminine body…well she’s doing the opposite because thats what she thinks is beautiful. Let Kelly do her “thang”.
I don’t understand why people tell women they shouldn’t worry about bulking up because “women don’t bulk up.”
Look at Kelly… obviously it’s possible to bulk up. I don’t really want my arms to look like hers, so I think i’ll be careful with my weight lifting
@Polly, totally agree with you. And that body is not attractive for me at all, it’s just way too much :/ too skinny and too muscular arms
I know Kelly exercises daily and she eats very healthy. She is TINY, but the woman is in amazing physical shape. Kelly is just a pretty woman period and is really funny.
well she looks like she likes her body and thats very important, it doesnt have to be everybody’s cup of tea. but im pretty sure lots of folks think shes a fab gal!
She said when she was in Italy, she ate all the time, and did not gain an ounce. She said there was something about italian food we need to learn. I think she kind of overdoes it talking about how much she eats all the time. I pity the diet experts she and Regis interview ever so often—how much can they know that she doesn’t?
I saw on Regis and Kelly that she does some type of yoga. Also, when you barely eat and get so thin, you are going to see some muscle.
She doesn’t get called out nearly as much as others do for whats obviously an eating disorder.
she always looks amazing,love the shirt!
I would not want that body type AT ALL! And the reason you don’t hear their “real” workout/diets, is because they are so extreme and obsessive that they don’t want people to know.
Being thinner and leaner than Kelly I can say from personal experience that it does take a very strict diet and dedication to exercise, both aerobics and resistance training, to achieve and maintain this physique. I wouldn’t say obsessed as Polly said but committed and dedicated.
I do not believe this woman has an eating disorder. I believe she eats very healthfully and works out probably more than she needs to; but I don’t see that as a problem. She doesn’t look manly, and looking like this is better than being overweight and flabby, or even being skinny fat.
good work Kelly
No no no. She looks way too thin-can’t imagine what she looks like in person. And she does look older than she really is.
And I agree witulie.
I think that her muscular and tiny little body is better than looking frail and starved. She would look much better with a little more weight, but I’m sure she eats enough food to be able to work out so much. But the tan is really bad, she should let her skin be it’s natural color.
she should be filed under skinny.
shes pretty but you can tell she strives
Owie, her knees could be used as a weapon. Although I do admit I am so jealous of how she looks!
It annoys me to see this obsessed woman. I don’t know much about her but I have the impression she tries to pretend being super healthy and fit, while in deed she’s not, at least mentally – as she works out like crazy (literally) and obviously doesn’t eat properly. Second I hate her fake and plastic look, with this skin tone, hair colour and teeth. I always have to think of it as an attempt to erase everything natural and human out of your appearance. Must be really stressing to struggle against mother nature because of this questionable beauty ideal.
And the shirt doesn’t suit her – way to feminine and playful. When you’ve overdone it like her, you look strange in anything but workout clothes.
it’s one thing to be toned, muscular and healthy.
it’s a completely different thing to look like a dude.
a little too much tone for me, but lovely outfit, and one of the best figures out there.
I really like her but…these arms are too masculine for my liking. Sort of don’t fit her very cute and feminine facial features..
Hmmmm… she must’ve been in a different Italy than I was, jed. I was there last year and brought back quite a few souvenirs. POUNDS. l:o[
She wears the same size clothing 4 year olds do and I see she sucks her thumb as well! (Maybe what she was “eating all the time” when she was in Italy was her thumb? I should’ve tried that.) Whatever, I love Kelly Ripa. Very cute and so funny. Too bad she seems to have two left feet (photo 1). Buying shoes would be very expensive.
(@ Victoria- ha ha. A dude in heels and ruffles. Who sucks his thumb.)
Are you visible, Sue?
She is clearly obsessed. Not a good look.
her arms scare me… her entire body is man-like. to each their own – but i would never want to look like that. i like to look soft and frail, so while my body fat is low like hers i make sure i don’t do too many heavy weights bc at a low body weight any muscle looks big.
Kelly Ripa is a cute woman but DANG is she too skinny. She probably has “athletica nervosa” or whatever it’s called when you’re obsessed with working out.
“getting” ripped? she’s always been pretty ripped. still too skinny for my tastes.
her legs look so tiny! almost scary tiny… her upper body looks a lot healthier, but it could just be an illusion and the muscle on her arms is from excessive exercise
Orange, furry little alien.
Better being skinny and muscular than skinny & flabby.
I hate short, skinny,muscular girlz…..ewwww. Stop it with the weights already!!
she is OBSESSED with exercise. So in love with herself, constantly primping and touching her hair on the show…She looks like a different person compared to when she started a few years ago, was a bit chubby. Someone please give her some moisturizer and laryngitis.
I never really liked her body (her orange skin though is just the worst), I always thought she was too lean, muscular, and shapeless (talking of waist, tits, ass) but after I saw her in a bikini for the first time..I went from not liking her body to being actually repulsed. She has like a 12 pack or something, and no hips at all, and a straight waist, and instead of boobs she has pecs, like a guy. That is where having ridiculously low body fat gets ya – looking the opposite of sexy. Only women admire this kind of body, very few men like women who are so muscular.
Also she looks like 45+, she isn’t famous where I am from, so how old is she?
Oy. Looks like a Rachel Zoe wannabe and pulling it off a little too well. She looks old, tired, her body looking frail thin in pictures (I can’t even imagine what she looks like in REAL LIFE) and I wish her husband would force feed her some sandwiches.
Oh and on Regis and Kelly she is always acting like she just eats so much all the time. It is obvious she eats barely anything at all. I really don’t know how she has energy to do all she does with so little food?? I like her and think she looks great but she needs to stop lying about how much she eats it is just ridiculous!Statsss. I would say are 5′4 and 98 pounds
EW.
I don’t think her body is attractive at all.
wow, that’s impressive. you have to lift pretty heavy weights (at least for a woman) to get arms like that.
I’m not a fan of her body type. She looks too “severe”(only word I could think of)these days. Plus, she looks alot older for some reason. A few extra pounds might do her good.
She looks like 50 something to me.She’s too tan but looks good in those pants…
I personally don’t like really muscular arms for a woman…but her torso looks okay. Its actually her legs that are of concern, because if those pants are baggy then she must be quite thin. Also notice how her clothes are baggy? When I wanted to avoid questions about my weight i always wore baggier clothes.
i don’t find this attractive. her arms are nice, but she is just muscle. she could be a fitness competitor. no joke.
SHe is too muscular for my taste. She’s rather annoying too.
@southerngumdrops … ITA! I want a SERIOUS play by play of how much cardio Kelly does, what kind of exercises she performs, how much weight she lifts and how many days a week she trains. I hate when celebs are like “Oh, I do yoga twice a week and walk my dog when I can, ” … YEA RIGHT!
Love, love, love this girl.
Wow-so tiny, solid, and fit. She must be so committed and consistent to be in this shape. It’s too muscular for my taste and I think she’s too tan. I wouldn’t feel comfortable like that, but she looks good and always looks so confident and happy-I think she’s really pretty and her confidence has a lot to do with it. I think she is inspiring and I’m a fan!
Carrot-very funny visible comment! Ha!!!
glad she’s healthy, but she’s starting to look like a man. I mean she has no womanly features. look at the hanging hand in the last pic… man-like.
She looks very fit and obviously works very hard for her body. To people who say she’s going against nature or obsessing too much about exercise… what do you think about men who have virtually no body fat and are very muscular? You won’t be complaining about that! There’s a double standard right there.
She’s got a very beautiful face, but the fact that she is so thin her head looks too big for her body. Also, she says she is cold even when the temperature is in the nice 70s. Like the people here have said, she has no body fat – none to keep her warm!
Hahahahahah @glow- totally agree
She’s too muscular skinny (just like Madonna) for my taste. Makes her look older.
Come on ladies. Green (envy) is not a pretty color on most people.
This is a woman that does not need approval by anyone to be confident and beautiful.
She is obviously quite happy with her body and herself as she should be.
Fat and obesity runs rampant in this country and it’s great to see people that take care of themselves and work hard to achieve it.
You can look great too if you work at it….
Way too skinny, this woman screams ED to me.
Sorry Amanda but women naturally have a much higher body fat percentage than men for hormone production.
I’m in the camp that says she looks bad. She’s scrawny and rough-looking. Yuck.
nooooooooooooo ,, I REALLY LIKE TONED & FIT AND MUSCULAR ARMS ,,BUT COME’ON ,,HER ARMS ARE REALLY MUSCULAR
AND SHE LOOK LIKE SHE HAVE %0 FAT IN HER BODY
HER LEGS LOOK SO TINY
Kelly is 5′2.5″ and with her muscle I am sure she might be a healthy weight, but she is tiny.
I have seen her in person. She is absolutely tiny…objectively teeny tiny! It is ridiculous when you read magazines like US and they claim both she and Kim Kardashian are the same size (I believe they claimed both wear a 2). While I have not seen KK, I am positive KR is a 0 tops. I imagine she buys size 0 and has her clothes tailored. I am 5′9.5 and a size 0 and she was slighter than I.
I believe Kelly when she says that she eats alot. Think about it: if you exercise as regularly and intensely as she obviously does, and if you have the energy to present a show and raise 3 children, then you must be eating well. If she had an ED as most of you speculate, she would not be as lively, her hair would not be shiny and her skin would look awful.
Yes, her body is muscular and over-tanned but otherwise I don’t see anything special here.
Cute outfit and she really is a pretty girl but her arms are way too big imo. She needs to add some body fat!!!
@AMANDA: I dont think its a double standard necessarily its just women biologically need more fat than men do just for out bodies to function properly and have kids.
What it takes is eating no fat and working out very regularly, at least 6 days a week. I think Kelly is great and she obviously looks great! Having the big ego she, herself claims to have and the pressure of being on television, daily as well as being photographed constantly, would be enough motivation for most of us. I workout all the time but would not want to live with THAT kind of pressure.
nice try size0??
She looks really strong. Feeling good and healthy is what it’s all about. She seems like a real runner.
HAHA
She looks like Sloth in the 2nd pic!
i’d love to have arms like her. i’d rather look like this than be overweight or skinny fat.
And for those saying she doesn’t eat enough – there’s no way she would be able to maintain the muscle she has if she didn’t eat properly. This is a fact – if anyone here actually worked out or lifted weights they would know this. I would say she probably has a very high protein diet (low carbs,low fat) which is why she is so lean. There’s nothing wrong with this.
I’m also sick of this idea that women should look ’soft’ or ‘frail’. It’s B.S. Be strong and be healthy! It will benefit you in your old age and you’ll be able to take care of yourself. Do you want to sit around waiting for man to do everything for you??
I think she looks worst every time I see a new photo. And not because she has muscular limbs. She is way underweight and if it weren’t for the overapplication of self tanner and contour blush/a lot of make-up, she would look deathly.
I just don’t get it. She works very hard (job), has three kids to run after and exercises everyday. When does she take time out for herself? She sounds like she’s got ADHD.
And I don’t like looking at a 40 year old woman who has the body of a 12 year old girl. Actually, ten year old probably seeing that most 12 year old nowadays have already boobs. I don’t see the attraction. But each to their own. She has to be happy with herself.
@ Amanda – Have you considered the fact that men’s bodies have less fat than women’s – naturally? A guy wouldn’t have to work out (and eat little) as excessively as she obviously does. Women need more body fat than men. I bet Kelly has no menstrual cycle any more.
her arms look like the heaviest part of her body…like is they were any heavier she would fall over
i dunno some people like the overly toned look…i for one dont….i like waify/toned…more like miranda kerr, she’s more delicate…this woman looks like she could punch you out….even if you were 6 feeet tall weighing in at 180
I think she looks way too old being sooo skinny with too much muscle tone. Its unnatural and makes her look much older then she would if she had a little more weight on her
“Look at Kelly… obviously it’s possible to bulk up. I don’t really want my arms to look like hers, so I think i’ll be careful with my weight lifting”
But she’s not bulked up, she’s tiny. The definition of her muscle only show due to a low body fat percentage. The only way to look like this is through diet.
@snoops, she is nearly 40 (in Oct) but agree she looks more like 45…probably because of the very low body fat percentage.
She is not ‘bulked up’ by any means. It’s all shadowing and lighting. I guarantee half of the people here who said they wouldn’t want her arms would change their minds if they saw her in person.
3 types of people: people who do not work out, people who work out to be thin, people who work out because they love being strong and find exercise fun…
obviously kelly is the latter, as am i. my body (arms) are manly as well. sometimes i am jealous of women with tiny ‘feminine’ arms but overall i don’t really care about how i look, i care about how i FEEL – and it feels great to be strong and able.
obviously we are all different, so i hate to see all women judged by the singular criteria that everything we do is solely relative to appearance. men are not the only athletes. kelly is a great role model.
She’s getting RIPPA and RIPPA
She has a super boyish figure that she knows how to work work work.
I think she looks good but definitely needs to be more proportioned. Her legs are sticks. I don’t think she eats much at all and exercises a lot….when you only work an hour or two a day you have a lot of time to devote to exercise…must be nice!!
kate just curious, you said the only way to look like her is through diet. So if I go on a diet, but don’t work out, I’ll get muscular arms like Kelly? When I was younger I would only diet and I was tiny but had no muscle definition at all, there was no muscle at all until I started working out
boyish figure, manly arms, ewww and she looks much older and dried up!
Mer, of course the only way to look like this is through diet AND working out. Kate is mistaken. Also, this is not “bulked up”. Serena Williams is bulked up. Kelly is still a tiny package. Her arms may look “huge” but compared to normal or even slightly thick arms, I’m sure they are still overall a smaller size, just very muscular. They also look huge in comparison to her chicken legs & flat chest.
Ladies: for a woman with three children to look like this, she has an obsession. Whether it is just with exercise or with food also, please realize this and understand that this is not an attainable look for 99.9% of healthy women. Who knows what she is doing to her body to achieve this level of muscle to fat ratio, but frankly I dont want to know. Whatever it is, it is extreme.
My mom is nearing 50 and works out about 1-2 hours every day and eats a TTTTTOOOOONNNNNN (as much as my teenage brother) and wears juniors pants sizes 0-1 at 5′4″. I bet Kelly eats healthily but I don’t think she obsesses.
Her body is fabulous. I cannot even imagine how disciplined her diet must be.
@ Mer, Kate is saying that to get very lean is achieved with diet.
Exercise can make you physically smaller, but keeping your muscle mass & decreasing your fat once you get to a certain body fat can only be done by having a specific diet. Usually a 40%p/30%f/30%c diet.
@Mer
Well it’s about 80% diet and 20% exercise. Weight training is a must to maintain/build muscle but the correct diet, i.e. high protein, complex carbs and healthy fats.
I’m certainly not implying that Kelly doesn’t work out or lift weights, only that she doesn’t really have all that much muscle. For example, say she is 100lb with 85lb of lean mass and 15% body fat…well that’s an average amount of muscle for a woman of 5ft2, the difference is her body fat percentage is a lot lower than the average woman, therefore showing the muscle definition more clearly. This would mostly have been achieved through diet in addition to weight training.
Anyway just want to add I’m 5ft2 with over 90lb of lean mass and 20% body fat. I’m pretty certain I have more muscle than Kelly but do not look bulky because my body fat % is not as low as hers to show the same degree of muscle definition.
‘Skinny-lean’ is the name I give to women like Kelly…very defined but low weight. It could just be her body type, i.e. ectomorph but personally think that level of body fat looks healthier on average weight women.
Totally hot body but leave off with so much make up – it’s making you look about 50!
I think she looks banging. Muscles aren’t masculine – we all have them ladies.
Now that I look at this post again I really like her outfit.
Sorry Kate, I thought you meant diet alone.
Her body fat has to be extremely low. I am 5′5 and 108 and my body fat is 18% and I am 44 and she is way much more thin than me.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the muscles! Wish I had em!
I guarantee you she is very strict about what she eats. I work out 2-3 hours a day, and you cannot eat whatever you want; it doesn’t work that way.
except her personality, everything about her is perfect. everybody is commenting on her arms, but look at how her pants fit. this is the way pants are supposed to fit. she is my physical ideal.
MANLY! what kind of woman wants to look this muscular?? she looked amazing before, but now she’s pushing it.
THANK YOU Kate and Regan!!! Her arms are gorgeous and desirable. Maybe not to all, but my husband and friends are envious of mine and I work out with light weights (20lbs max), chin ups, pull ups, dips and push ups twice a week with running between 30 to 40 miles/week. Some of it is genetic, some exercise, and most importantly eating enough protein. Ripa obviously eats plenty of food, or she would have 0 muscle because her body would be consuming it for fuel. Most of you might find her arms too manly, but at least she won’t have the old lady jiggle under arm area.
I love those arms! I just love her physique. She obviously works very hard at it. I think she looks fabulous and is adorable, but would be best if she did not get any more ripped than what she is now.
I’ve loved Kelly Ripa for years and, while she is obviously very fit, she has, biologically, a very thin frame paired with a strong fitness ethic. Eating well and and working out, especially when you work in an image conscious industry, is laudable. I also applaud her on being a fit, outgoing role model for her audience rather than a frail waif. brava!
I looove her playfulness and personality but I just really don’t like the way she looks. Her face isn’t pretty and her body’s okay, fit and toned and all but meh, looks wise she doesn’t do it for me…
for as long as ive seen this woman on tv, she has been thin. i think she’s look amazing if she put on 5 lbs at least. She just isn’t attractive like that. buttt , if thats what makes her happy then albeit!
@KATE: thank you!!! i think you are exactly right!
Don’t understand why my comments didn’t appear. I just agreed w/a few others who posted before me…(Polly who said Kelly was interviewed & says she works out every day & runs, lifts weights, eats fruit, veggies & light meat & Monika who agreed with Polly and I agreed w/Monika in that Kelly seems too skinny & too muscular at the same time). I also agreed w/size0 in that Kelly says (on Live Show) that she acts like she eats all the time. Agreed with siennagold that Kelly is too muscular/skinny…like Madonna. IMHO, I think she may be obsessed w/the exercise AND I do not think she is setting a very good example for her young daughter, Lola, who just turned 9!
@sarah – right on!
First-I love Kelly. She is funny and beautiful.
Having said that, I think she is too obsessive about her weight.
She is tooooooo thin!
I think for an adult with what, 3-4 kids? a husband… a demanding career… how does she have the time to work out like that? Its not like she is only working out for an hour a day, she has GOT to be spending hours in the gym a day to look like that. I just don’t see where she finds the time. Either she is sacraficing sleep or family time… either way, she is obviously obsessed. She is TOO skinny, and too muscular at the same time. She just looks weird
haha, comments like skychick’s are so annoying. Just can’t accept other people’s opinions.
Although she is pictured on this website quite alot – i’ve really no idea what she does – presume she is on US tv – but what does she do?
thanks
HOT HOT HOT
