On Tuesday, January 16, Kelly Ripa didn’t shy away from the humor during a fitness segment on Live With Kelly and Mark. The 53-year-old television host brought her signature wit and charm, turning what could have been an awkward moment into pure entertainment gold. This was no ordinary workout session—it was a blend of fitness, fun, and some good old-fashioned laughs.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Kelly wasn’t alone in this fitness adventure. She was joined by her husband, Mark Consuelos, strength coach Jeff Cavaliere, and producer Michael Gelman. The four of them sat on yoga mats on the studio floor, ready to stretch and strengthen their bodies—or at least try. It wasn’t your typical yoga class, but hey, who’s counting?
Kelly set the tone right off the bat with a joke that had the audience giggling. “It’s fitness week, and you know what that means—Gelman in spandex,” she quipped, referencing the producer’s participation in the segment. It was a lighthearted start to what would become a hilarious workout.

Facing Fears Head-On
Jeff Cavaliere, the fitness guru leading the session, knew Kelly might be nervous about how the stretches would look on camera. Specifically, there was the dreaded "crotch shot" to consider. “You have to face your fears,” Jeff encouraged her. And boy, did Kelly take that advice to heart.
As the stretches progressed, Kelly couldn’t help but laugh at herself. “Oh my God! All crotch!” she exclaimed, turning the potentially awkward moment into a laugh-filled one. Her honesty and humor made the segment relatable and endearing to viewers.
Previous Day's Workout Mishap
Just a day earlier, Kelly and Mark, 52, had taken part in another exercise routine in front of the live studio audience. Kelly, representing her beloved Philadelphia Eagles, wore a team jersey during the segment. But things got a little tricky when her microphone decided to misbehave.
Viewers watched as Kelly subtly adjusted her mic behind her back, attempting to fix it without drawing too much attention. Eventually, she addressed the issue with the audience, maintaining her composure while lying on her back to perform the exercise. “You know what, my microphone is always in the wrong place,” she admitted. “I’ll just put it over here.”
Kelly placed her microphone carefully next to her as she continued following the instructor’s directions. Her choice of attire, the Eagles jersey, was a nod to the upcoming game that evening. Unfortunately, her team didn’t fare so well against Mark’s favorite team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Eating Humble Sandwich
After losing a friendly bet with Mark regarding the game's outcome, Kelly and Live producer Ashley Lewis were tasked with eating Cuban sandwiches on air. Kelly shared her thoughts on the ordeal with the audience. “Ash said to me last night, she goes, ‘I really don’t feel like eating a Cuban sandwich at 9:00 in the morning. And I go, ‘Nobody does!’” she joked.

Despite the early morning snack, they honored their bet and each took a bite of the sandwich. Mark playfully handed Ashley a Buccaneers napkin, suggesting she might need it for her face. Kelly, in typical form, declared she wasn’t speaking to her husband anymore but couldn’t deny the sandwich was “so good.”
