Jennifer Lopez’s 5 Secrets to a Sculpted Physique at 54
It’s Jennifer Lopez’s 54th birthday, and she continues to defy the aging process, showcasing a body that appears more toned than ever. To achieve her enviable physique, she dedicates herself to a disciplined routine, combining a nourishing diet and almost daily fitness sessions. With unwavering commitment, she not only maintains her radiant complexion but also sculpts her muscular silhouette. With that in mind, Now I’ve Seen Everything takes a closer look at JLo’s comprehensive workout regimen.
1. Arms-abs-glutes
Jennifer Lopez never misses a chance to build upon her muscular frame and for that, she ardently attends fitness classes offered by top-notch coaches, such as Tracy Anderson, David Kirsch, and Dodd Romero. While she works her entire body, Jennifer acknowledges that attention to her arms (to defy aging), abs, and glutes is paramount.
Thus, she performs kickbacks and tricep extensions (with resistance bands and pulleys) to tone her upper body. In addition, she incorporates several sumo squats, lunges, lateral lunges, and weight machines to work her abs and glutes. To ace her abs game, Jennifer swears by doing inverted V-planks (30 seconds), side planks (30 seconds), exercise ball planks (30 seconds), jack-knife, and Russian twist sit-ups with weights, all to be repeated 20 times.
2. Diverse Workouts
Jennifer Lopez’s passion for sports is evident, but she understands the importance of mixing up her training routine to keep it engaging and ensure her body is challenged differently. As a result, she enlists the expertise of several trainers.
David Kirsch, known for his dynamic approach, favors circuit training with movements like planks, crunches, lunges, press-ups, burpees, kickboxing, and cardio exercises. Meanwhile, for Tracy Anderson, a gentler approach coupled with heavy weights for an all-inclusive workout while concentrating on the thighs and glutes is favored.
3. Dancing
Jennifer Lopez, an acclaimed dancer, continues to engage in this art form with great regularity. Her role as a judge on the popular show World of Dance is a testament to her unwavering passion for dance. If there was ever a need for further confirmation, one only has to glance at the captivating videos she frequently shares on YouTube and Instagram. It is abundantly clear that her talent in dance remains as vibrant as ever.
4. Meditation
While meditation may not fall under the category of a sport, its significance in Jennifer Lopez’s well-being cannot be underestimated. Each day, for 20 minutes, the singer dedicates herself to the practice of meditation, allowing her to realign and enhance her energy levels.
5. Nourishing the body with healthy food choices
Maintaining an optimal physical condition for exercising requires a well-balanced diet, and Jennifer Lopez understands this importance. She prioritizes organic ingredients and ensures an adequate protein intake to prevent fatigue.
She revealed her breakfast ritual of starting the day with proteins, blending protein powder with yogurt, berries, and a touch of honey. Jennifer Lopez also keeps nourishing snacks, such as nuts and dried fruits, on hand to satisfy cravings. When it comes to meals, her typical plate consists of a protein source (usually pork, chicken, or fish) accompanied by steamed vegetables seasoned with vinaigrette or a flavorful Puerto Rican sauce.
As Jennifer Lopez approaches her mid-50s, her dedication to maintaining a sculpted, toned figure continues to inspire fans worldwide. But what about fellow A-lister Salma Hayek, who, at 56, recently drove media outlets and social media users crazy with her bikini photos? Surprisingly, she doesn’t credit an extensive workout routine for her enviable physique.
