Kelly and Mark Discuss Morning Fitness

Fans tuning in to “Live with Kelly and Mark” might expect the usual morning banter, but on Tuesday’s episode, the couple brought some playful humor to the mix.

Mark Consuelos mentioned his early trip to the gym that morning, which prompted Kelly Ripa to tease him about the timing. “What’s going on? Who are you preparing for?” she asked playfully.

Later in the show, Consuelos revealed that he had to “cancel” his earlier workout to play golf instead.

Kelly joked about this, while Mark insisted that “exercising at 6 a.m. is great.” However, Kelly seemed to disagree, suggesting they should find a better time for workouts. “It’s not typically ideal at that hour. Do you know what the best times are? Now,” she elaborated.

Mark conceded, saying, “It’s true. I’m just having some coffee and a light breakfast right now.”

Kelly reinforced her point, noting, “They’ve done studies on it.”

She playfully mentioned that their job was messing with her fitness regime, referring to their producer, Michael Gelman. Consuelos and Ripa then floated the idea of shifting their show’s time.

“We should start it around 11 o’clock,” Mark suggested. “Doesn’t that sound good?”

Kelly agreed, adding her enthusiasm to the possibility. Meanwhile, “The View,” led by Whoopi Goldberg and others, airs at 11 a.m. on ABC during weekdays, which Kelly noted could work well for them.

Mark’s producer chimed in, saying, “That sounds like a solid plan,” while Kelly insisted the schedule change would be perfect for both of them.

“If we do that, we can still stay fit and host the show at the same time,” she concluded.

As they wrapped up, Kelly playfully mentioned the women at the hot topic table, leaving the ball in their court.

“Live with Kelly and Mark” airs on weekdays, and viewers can check their local listings for details.
