Kelly Ripa continues to serve as the ultimate bikini muse even in her fifties. The LIVE! host is dedicated to her fitness routine – and by the looks of her sculpted abs, her training is paying off.
Over the years, the blonde beauty has continued to deliver a fashion-forward swimwear agenda that blends daring one-pieces with micro bikini sets. Kelly has styled everything from sheer beach cover ups to bold print and vibrant hues.
Kelly's trainer of over 14 years, Anna Kaiser, previously spoke to HELLO! about her personalized workout routine for the ABC host. "She usually works out six days a week," Anna said. "Even when she travels, she'll do the workouts virtually if she needs to. Everyone knows that is her hour, morning or evening, she gets 45 minutes in and that is her time."

"She never cancels and she's let everyone know in her life that, that is her time," Anna explained of Kelly. "It has been the same for 14 years. Even if she's had no sleep, she still shows up. If she's exhausted, she still shows up and then we decide how and what we do that day."
And if you think that bronzed glow she sports in her best bikini pictures is from the natural sun, think again. Jimmy Coco, celebrity fake tanner and founder of his bronzing range Sunless by Jimmy Coco, exclusively spoke to us in an interview about the secret behind Kelly's sun-kissed skin.

"We're always trying to tan her around her workout routine," he shared. "OK, she's going to be working out at this time. When should we tan? Her workouts are really important to her."
Rather than occurring after her sweat session, the spray tan is completed hours earlier. "We do it way before so that she can shower and then do her workout," he added.
In celebration of Kelly's milestone 56th birthday, HELLO! are taking a look back at her most memorable bikini photos to date.
