Ripa has been working with Kaiser for years, but her exact workout routine has evolved over time. "When she was in her late 30s and 40s, we really focused on cardio," Kaiser told Shape in 2022. "She was doing a lot of [fitness] challenges for the show . . . and her stamina and cardio needed to be really strong."
More recently, Kaiser has been focused on helping Ripa build strength, energy, and endorphins, she told Shape. "We are watching her heart-rate monitor and tracking her metrics on her on a daily basis to make sure she gets exactly the amount of strength and cardio for what she needs today, which is very different from what it was 12 years ago."
The COVID pandemic presented obstacles for the training duo much like it did for others. "During COVID, I was pregnant and on maternity leave, and my studios were closed due to the government shut down," Kaiser tells POPSUGAR. "Kelly took the time to try a lot of other virtual workouts, and when we got back together a year later, she was very deconditioned and felt like she may never get herself back to where she was before the pandemic. So we started slowly, working back into our workouts, and we only focused on strength three times per week. After a couple of months, we added some low-impact cardio and, now, two years later, she is stronger and more fit than ever."
