Hi guys, welcome back to Post Run Hi. I'm your host Kate Max, and this show is where we

explore movement, not just the kind that pushes us physically, but the kind that keeps us moving

forward in life. Today, we're joined by Mark Consuelos. He's an actor, host, and forever student

of Reinvention. Mark takes us back

to the very beginning, how he got into acting, the leap of faith that changed the course of his

life, and what those early years taught him about resilience. We also dive into how he's continued

to reinvent himself over the years, from beloved TV roles to his current gig co-hosting Live

with Kelly and Mark,

alongside his wife, Kelly Rippa. Mark opens up about the discipline that keeps him grounded,

what it's like to share both a marriage and a morning show with your partner, and how he balances

the demands of career, family, and personal growth. All right, let's get our posts run high going.

This All right, let's get our post run high going. This is an IHeart podcast.

Mark Consuelos, welcome to post run high.

Thank you for having me.

Is it okay that I'm sitting on your velvet chair and I'm still leaking here? I am still sweating. You know, you're not... This is normal, right? This is normal.

underneath me because it's just to, just to lessen the dampness. That's so respectful of you.

Yeah. So guys, for our listeners, Mark is currently sitting with a paper towel on the base of the

chair, which I'm not. I'm fully sweating into this. But I think a paper towel on the base of the chair, which

I'm not. I'm fully sweating into this. But I think it's okay because it's the chair that I always sit in. So if it gets a little, it's fine. We just ran a couple miles in Brooklyn. How are you feeling? I feel strangely really good. I haven't run in a long time. It's been, it has to be a few months before. I get on the bike a lot.

I hike and walk a lot, but I haven't really ran. So this is the first time. And I kind of feel great. I am getting that little like afterward, that high that you get afterwards. Post run high. Post run high. That thing right there. Well, Mark has had a big workout day. Yes. Because we did our run, but right before you did a lift, a workout. Yeah. I do a lift. So I love knowing that working out is a big part of your life. It's been a huge part of my life for a long time. But let's talk about how movement shows up for you in your life. Yeah. You I, I always worked out. I was in sports and so I

was always, I was always in the gym. And I will say that probably in the last 10 to 15 years,
