Kelly Ripa's workout body has made somewhat of an encore. The "Live! With Kelly and Ryan" host made headlines ahead of the Super Bowl for jokingly auditioning to dance with Halftime Show performer Shakira – an Instagram video of Kelly shaking her stuff in gym wear went viral as the 49-year-old moved her body to the Colombian's tunes.
The video was just part one, though.
Following Super Bowl 54, Kelly reposted her dance session, appeared in a joking "Hips Don't Lie" pun while wearing a red sports bra, then returned to Instagram to show off more dancing moves in a new outfit.

Kelly's video showed her mid-week workout. The daytime TV queen was back in that dance studio and looking more energetic than ever as she busted out moves to loud music.
Kelly had been filmed relatively far out, but her super-ripped and gym-honed body was still visible. The blonde was rocking a simple pair of black yoga pants, upping the ante a little with a jazzy and metallic silver sports bra.
Kelly's moves were on point, the energy seemed akin to that of a teenager, and a caption explained more.
"Workout today inspired by the ultimate Moms with moves JLo and Shakira," Kelly wrote, also tagging personal trainer and choreographer Anna Kaiser.

Kelly didn't miss the mark with her statement. Super Bowl 54 may well have been about the Kansas City Chiefs and San Fransisco 49ers, but the 2020 football game is likely to go down in history for its explosive and sensational Halftime Show.
Jennifer Lopez joining Shakira for a booty-shaking display of Latina power was all America could talk about after the Super Bowl and yes – J Lo and Shakira are both moms. Shakira, 43, is a mother to Sasha and Milan, while 50-year-old Lopez has 11-year-old twins Max and Emme.

At 49, Kelly is one year younger than "Dinero" singer J Lo. Nonetheless, the "Live!" host finds herself lumped in the flattering group of age-defying celebrities.
As it turns out, Kelly has referred to her body as having child-like qualities that even she can't explain.
"I was talking to a cardiologist and he said to make sure your heart beats out of your chest every day. The more you exercise, the healthier it is. And I can be honest: My body looks like Peter Pan no matter what I do. I’ve never been a va-va-voom woman," she told The Cut in 2019.

Kelly has a dancer background. In 2019, the star revisited her ballet past by gearing social media up for a challenge – which was conquered. Kelly wanted to get as many ballerinas en pointe at the same time as possible, achieving her goal with dancers from the New York City Ballet.
Photos of Kelly standing on her toes in pointe shoes were posted to her Instagram ahead of her Guinness World Record, with celebratory snaps of Kelly with co-host Ryan Seacrest also making waves.
