Kelly is very open about her fitness routine and shares her workouts on social media from time to time. She works out five days a week with the help of her trainer, who also trains singer Shakira. “Sometimes it’s not so pleasant. And you don’t want to wake up to go on a jog in the morning,” she told Women’s Health. “But I just force myself to do it.”

Aside from working out, the mother of three told People in 2020 that she cut out alcohol entirely after attempting a sober month with her girlfriends. “I just didn’t really feel the need or desire to go back to it,” she stated. “It wasn’t really a choice or a thought, it was just, ‘Yeah, I guess I don’t drink anymore.’”
Kelly also follows a primarily alkaline diet that comprises mostly fruits and vegetables. “The alkaline diet is primarily a vegan diet, but I like cream in my coffee,” she said. She also indulges in protein bars, greek yogurt, and flaxseed snacks.
She and Mark workout together
Kelly and Mark take fitness very seriously and occasionally share their joint exercise sessions. Last year, the couple took a vacation involving physically challenging activities like rock climbing and hiking. Fans commented on their strong legs and fit form. “Those who survive together thrive together. And then there’s rock climbing,” Kelly’s trainer, Kaiser, wrote.
In April, Mark posted a hearty photo of himself and Kelly relaxing from a yoga session on the show. “Teamwork!!! It’s hard to tell where one begins and the other ends,” the caption read. Most followers commented on how adorable they find the couple on the show. “I love that Kelly and Mark are working together, they are awesome,” someone gushed.
