Because every ultra-fit talk show host should have her own line of fitness gear, Kelly Ripa is joining forces with Ryka and will co-design a footwear and apparel collection.

As part of the three-year agreement, she will also act as a spokesperson for the brand and appear in its print and online campaign.

The initial line is scheduled to include a multi-sport shoe designed for running, cross-training and studio workouts, plus several lifestyle shoes.

Ripa is a co-host of "Live with Regis and Kelly."
