Each time Shakira takes the stage, she likes to get pumped. Jacked, really. Because in addition to other pre-show rituals, the three-time Grammy-winning Colombian pop star likes to squeeze in a quickie arm routine courtesy of longtime trainer Anna Kaiser. The 43-year-old's "favorite workout," the New York City-based founder of The Akt Studios tells E! News, "She loves to do this before she goes onstage. It gets her muscles popping." Plus it came from the same mind that got the "Me Gusta" singer sculpted ahead of this year's Super Bowl. So, uh, we're game. To prep for her epic halftime performance with Jennifer Lopez in Miami,...

Shakira's hips (and abs) don't lie! And after sitting with her trainer Anna Kaiser, we now know just how much work goes into being Shakira, and spoiler alert—it's a lot. The Colombian beauty works out about five days a week, and all of her workout goals are always around her heart rate monitor. As Kaiser tells E! News it "keeps her the most focused." The 40-year-old singer loves having a concrete goal and focusing on individual body parts and form, so she can concentrate on what she's doing and how she's doing it. "We alternate between strength and cardio intervals. Some days we do just cardio and then strength and some days we start with...

It’s been two months since Shakira announced the dates of her El Dorado World Tour, which will kick off in Germany Nov. 8. The singer is busy preparing for her 30-show tour, which includes asking fans with help for the setlist, and fitness training. Recent posts give a look into how the mother of two stays in shape with long-time trainer and owner of Akt InMotion Studio in New York City, Anna Kaiser.
“Being consistent with exercise is the biggest hurdle to overcome for every woman,” Kaiser said to Shape in 2014. “Shakira….works so hard. She gives 150 percent with everything she does.

Kelly Ripa‘s clubbing days are behind her now — so instead of sweating on the dance floor, the TV host prefers hitting up SoulCycle for back-to-back classes.
“This is my version of the club,” she tells Style of Sport. “It’s the only place I feel really comfortable and where I have sort of found my ‘tribe’ to coin a phrase.”
Ripa, 46, took her first class with popular instructor Stacey Griffith, and fell in love.

Just in case you haven't seen a photo of Kelly Ripa in a bikini lately ... Underneath those pretty dresses and blonde bob are the abs of a bodybuilder. The "Live with Kelly and Michael" host flaunted said abs with a photo of her impressive muscles on Twitter.
On Wednesday (Dec. 11), Ripa -- a 41-year-old mother of three -- posted the following on her Twitter account:

The inspirational quote from Henry Ford accompanied by an exposed abdomen that would put many an athlete to shame, this was probably meant to be motivation. However, shame and self-loathing might be acceptable as well.
The Twitter accounts mentioned in Ripa's post belong to her trainer, Anna Kaiser, who has her own fitness method. It obviously works very, very well.
