Kelly Ripa, co-hostess extraordinaire and hot mama to three little ones, is on the cover of the new Fitness Magazine and if you look in between the covers, she shares her secrets to looking good.
Here are some of the things she has to say:
- On starting fitness later in the game: "I was the same way about exercise. I didn't do it in my 20s and I was like, it's too late to start now. I figured, I work in an industry where there's a stylist and a makeup artist -- they'll make me look fine. But I began feeling tired -- just playing in the park with my kids wore me down. I thought, 'Geez, I'm kind of young to be feeling this way.' So I started walking on a treadmill. Then I started jogging on a treadmill. Then I began jogging outside. Now I'm running outside, three to five miles, and taking toning classes."
- On her biggest health fear: "I used to smoke, so lung cancer is the thing that keeps me awake at night. I worry, Did I quit in enough time? Did I do it for too long? It's one of those things where I think, Boy, what a foolish thing I did. I'm not from the generation where you can go, 'Oh, I didn't know it was bad for me.' No. Everybody knew it was bad."
- On looking good in jeans: "I buy jeans that are tight in the rear end. I'm not kidding. I treat my cheeks like breasts in a push-up bra. I just reach down in there, lift them up and push them together. And they'll stay put if the jeans are tight enough in the seat."
- On her main motivation -- vanity! "A month or two after I started working out, I wore a sleeveless turtleneck to work. Regis was like, 'Ripa, your arm muscles look incredible!' it was the first time anybody had ever said anything to me about my muscles. And because I am a vain person, that's all I needed to hear to stay with it."
I think she is a great role model -- what do you think?

Kelly Ripa's voice is so annoying that every time I hear it I urinate all over myself.
