Kelly Ripa works hard for her body.

It's hard to believe Kelly Ripa of the Regis and Kelly show only spends 45 minutes to an hour on her workout. This mother of 3 is lean and toned like someone who spends a lot more time in the gym.

Her workout involves time spent with personal trainer, Keith Byard, an ex Marine. The video below gives a 6-minute rundown of a typical workout, including cardio. She is quick to note everything she does can be done at home. For the cardio-haters out there, she stresses any workout regimen must include cardio.

For diet, she breaks the cardinal rule about breakfast and doesn't eat until mid-morning. Until then, coffee gets her through. Otherwise, she grazes with small healthy meals and snacks throughout the day. A family chef helped her get smart about nutrition and portion control.

The Regis and Kelly website has videos of the American Idol performances on their show this season.
