Happy birthday, Jennifer Lopez! Revealing the American star's fitness secrets
At 54 years old, Jennifer Lopez defies age with an enduring youthful appearance and curvaceous body. And for this, the American sensation marries a combination of exercises with lifestyle changes to flaunt an envious body that remains the epitome of aspiration for countless women. As we celebrate her birthday, let us uncover the secrets that keep her as fit as a fiddle.
JLo works out 3 or 4 days a week
During an interview with US Weekly, the American singer once shared, "I work out three or four times a week. Very rarely will I skip my workout" when she was asked about her fitness routine. JLo also revealed that she has a fitness coach in both Los Angeles (Tracy Anderson) and New York City (David Kirsch) who train her in different workout formats.
She loves dancing and includes it in her workout routine
"It's no secret that I love dancing," shared Lopez during the same interview. Reportedly, she does freestyle dance with Anderson five times a week and also incorporates weight lifting for toning. "Dance has always been a huge part of my life and taking the time to move my body and do something good for me is key to my happiness," she told HELLO.
Her workouts are fast-paced and a mix of cardio, plyometrics
"We mix some cardio, plyometrics, full body, core, and lower body into her workouts. They are very, very intense," told Kirsch to Vogue. The fitness coach also added that Lopez's workouts are generally fast-paced as she is very energetic and highly focused. He also admits that the American sensation is simply becoming "more beautiful as she gets older."
She enjoys green vegetables, organic proteins
Lopez's green veggies intake is quite huge! "We eat a lot of green vegetables, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and kale," she told HELLO. Other than that, she also savors organic proteins and enjoys veggie-packed salads. If sources are to be believed, she loves broccoli, peppers, and zucchini with a drizzle of vinaigrette on top. For dinner, it's usually quinoa on the menu for her.
The 'Hustlers' lead avoids coffee and alcohol
Besides disliking salmon for its flavor and texture (as revealed by JLo's chef Kelvin Fernandez), the actor also steers clear of caffeine and alcohol as a part of her skincare. "I don't drink or smoke or have caffeine. That really wrecks your skin as you get older," shared the superstar with Hollywood Life. For her arresting beauty, she also indulges in meditation.
