Sorry, definately not a fan of the Ripped one. I think she is cute and all. . . that said she smoked most of her life. What is she 38? She admits she never worked out until like 2 years ago. But she was still super skinny because she didn't eat. To me she is an attention junky and will do about anything to get it (including starve herself). And those thigh exercises? Get real. The tricep ones are not anything new.

Is she really a picture of health? I would really like to know what she eats (or doesn't). Skinny does not necessarily equate with healthy.

hahaha i feel so sorry for anderson

that was hilarious. does look like fun tho...only in the comfort of my own living room!

I LOOOOVE Anderson!!! He's soooo dreamy hot. He needs to come out of the closet already. Good news for me.

lol at her description of second and first positions. these look fun actually, especially the first one.

I love Kelly Ripa. Anyone who isn't afraid to look silly in front of people, I'm a fan of. I don't see how you can look at her and say she isn't healthy. She isn't skinny like anorexic models, she's got muscles and is fit in a way that doesn't just come from starving yourself. The girl obviously works out.

Kelly Ripa isn't skinny?????

Yes levi1, she is skinny. No boobs, no butt, no shape. No thanks.

Anderson on the other hand... Ah, never mind. I'd just have to fight Electro for him.

Yeah, I actually admire Anderson for NOT going along with the crowd! I can totally relate with not wanting to draw attention to oneself. Some people are just more introverted than others although I know in todays society it is much more accepted to lay it all out there!

There is such a thing as having a good time and the Regis Show is casual. But Anderson does a News Show and I applaud him for not going against what he deems appropriate and comfortable. Rotating and grinding for some is a tad out of bounds for TV!

shes an entertainer thats for sure

wow someone's got something really personal against ms. ripa Back to the video --- I thought it was funny and it seems like she picked out moves that would make him uncomfortable! lol. especially all the gyrating. oh kelly.

She IS skinny but she's definitely not Kate Moss skinny (ala heroine chic) and those are muscles on her little body.

LOL, i totally agree syako. someone has a HUGE grudge. I have to say i love Haley and Mateo...i mean kelly and mark. ever since their days on All My Children

No grudge here.. I actually like watching her on Live with Regis. I just don't think she has an attractive figure.

I'm not going to Kelly-bash, because I'm built a lot like her and to have people say that slim women have no sex appeal, no shape, etc., is really annoying to me. You can't change your genes, no matter how hard you try. I feel bad for Kelly...she's obviously got a small chest and you can tell that she tries to compensate for it by doing lots of pec exercises.

I take the same class as kelly ripa in nyc, check out www.physique57.com. and it is amazing. I have been taking the class 3-4 x a week for a little over a month and my body is transforming.my core is more defined than it ever has been! I have taken pilates, practiced yoga, and ran for years and nothing has made me feel as amazing as physique. I feel strong, fit and energized! i feel great in all my clothes. these exercises are based on the lotte berk technique ( bar method is almost the same). I can not recommend this class enough!!!!!!!!

Damn! I didn't know Anderson was so ripped, himself! I'm in love with him all over again.

As for those moves, this is just like the Lotte Berke Method... almost exactly. Lotte Berke rocks, it's great for those days I don't quite want to drag myself to the gym, but want to get a good workout that I'll even feel the next day. SJP does it, too!

Threadbythread, I am SO envious that you get to take the physique class. I've heard such great things. Tell them to start up in SF!

oh i love anderson cooper....so handsome. sure the moves were kinda silly, but he could have been a better sport and just tried it

Anderson shouldn't have done it if he wasn't willing to look silly -- he looked just as stupid not doing it.

For the zillionth time -- not having boobs or a butt doesn't mean you're not healthy. A lot of people (myself included) will never have the hourglass figure, get over it.

That said, it's widely rumored that Kelly Ripa uses uppers to supress her appetite and give her energy. So it can't all be credited to power plies.

If I could go back and restate my butt/boobs comment this is what I *should* have said to begin with;

Kelly used to have such a cute figure with just the right amount of muscle and perfectly toned. But she's so skinny and harsh looking now... and to me it looks like she exercised her butt and boobs down to nothing, maybe by pumping too much iron, taking enhancements, I dunno.

Of course not everyone has an hourglass figure. It does not mean that I'm implying everything/everyone else is unhealthy (or unattractive). My statement no butt/no boobs was in comparison to what she used to look like, compared to now. Is this making any sense? Anyhooo there's obvious hostility towards my comments ... not what I intended at all and for that I apologize.

dunnonuttin thanks for the clarification -- I didn't mean to be hostile toward your statement, and your point is taken.

I just think that in general there is a double-standard with critiquing women's bodies that should be addressed. Thin/skinny/petite women are sometimes considered fair game, but it's still a form of objectifying women; their size doesn't matter. And since nearly everyone in Hollywood has a boob job, a woman with a natural A cup can look emaciated -- but in fact that is a natural figure for some people.

I would really love it if more people with compulsive exercize addictions or food fixations/disorders would get help and BE HONEST ABOUT IT because it needs treatment, and lying perpetuates the culture of unreleastic pressures. But I think those people need to come forward first because to speculate about their issues without insider knowledge is dangerous territory.

She looked much curvier in her All My Children days.

Anderson Cooper is hot, I must admit.

Anderson obviously (very, very obviously) works out, just not Ripa style.

I just took my first physique 57 class today, and I loved it. It is A LOT harder than it looks, but I;ve already signed up for more.

Anderson Cooper could work out *wink wink* with me anytime LOL.. good lord he's hot.

this really is a great little workout if you don't have a lot of time. i keep coming back to it

Love Anderson's reactions and I don't think Kelly is too skinny. She's a very short woman like myself. Her body weight and height ratio seem to be alright. If she was much taller then I'd probably say she needed to pack on a few more pounds.

i tend to agree. i'd rather "have" anderson's body than kelly ripa's!

this is the cutest video ever!! haha..i love Andersons' reaction to everything! hehe...it's nice to see this fun side of him.

pulse down anderson!!

Muscle or not Kelly needs to eat. The tv adds about 20lbs which makes her about 100lbs.

I spent more time laughing at Anderson Cooper's reactions to Kelly Rippa's exercises than I did getting the moves down. But I like the suggestion to work out at home using as little machinery as possible.

Rippa is Ripped and looks Hott! Those arms are Smokin' Whoo-Hoo!!!
