They’re getting it on — their workout, that is.
During Wednesday’s episode of “Live With Kelly and Mark,” celebrity couple Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos participated in a segment where they did “partner yoga” together — and made some NSFW jokes in the process.
The team challenge comes after recent criticisms that the new co-hosts already have been showing too much PDA on the daytime talk show.
Before they got into the exercise, Ripa asked her husband if he was a regular yoga practicer, to which he said he thinks about taking it sometimes but never actually does it.
“I think I could be bendy, but I think I could be bendier, do you know what I mean?” Ripa said.
“Yeah,” Consuelos said in response, flashing her and the audience a grin and a nod.
“I’m flexy, but I’m not as flexible as I should be,” Ripa continued as the audience erupted into laughter.
Later on in the program, they changed into all-black workout clothes to learn how to do partner yoga with Colleen Saidman and Rodney Yee, who created the company Yoga Shanti.
Saidman told the pair that practicing partner yoga was a “pretty intimate” experience.
After the introduction, the perky partners got down on pink yoga mats and entered their first pose, which showed them each spreading their legs wide to touch the bottoms of their feet together.
They then grabbed each other’s arms and began to move in circles.
For the next pose, they each curled up into a ball and put one leg up to the sky as they touched from the bottom of their feet again.
For their final move, the experts had Consuelos go into a downward-facing dog pose.
Ripa then bent down in front of him and put both of her feet on his back, balancing herself.
In the end, she even gamely — and impressively — balanced herself on one leg, using Consuelos’ back as a foundation.
On Monday, the pair kicked off their first episode as co-hosts of the daytime talk show.
Ryan Seacrest, who had been hosting the show with Ripa since 2017, announced his departure in February.
On Tuesday, the celebrity duo was met with criticism from fans after they felt like the two were talking too much about their bedroom issues.
Complainers feared that “mundane” domestic dramas would overrun “Live With Kelly and Mark” after she played a recording of Consuelos snoring in bed.
“Most nights, that’s how I wake up,” Ripa said of her hubby’s loud braying. “That’s my mid-evening alarm.”
“Remember the days with [original co-host] Regis [Philbin] when REAL social & news issues were discussed? NOT ‘Bedtime eating & sleeping habits,’ or ‘We’re we walking or jogging in Central Park,” or many other mundane things that were conversed about! Big fail!!” one fan fumed on Twitter about the moment.
Ripa has been a host of the hit show since 2001.
