J.Lo is back – but let’s be honest, she never really went anywhere.
But the 54-year-old is once again front and centre thanks to the release of her brand new film This Is Me…Now: A Love Story – a genre-bending short film out on Amazon Prime Video. Accompanying an album of the same name, the film stars Jennifer Lopez as a fictionalised version of herself navigating a fantasy world of romance and heartbreak, inspired by the trajectory of her own notable experience with relationships (hello Bennifer 2.0).
While the film has received… mixed reviews, there’s something everyone does agree on: J.Lo still looks absolutely incredible. And if, like us, you’ve been stalking Jennifer’s Instagram to find out how she stays in such amazing shape, you’ll have realised it’s all down to hard work. Yes, sadly there’s no magic potion that will have us waking up with abs like J.Lo’s, and her feed full of gym selfies and dance rehearsals is certainly evidence of that.
Let’s bear in mind though, as banging as Jennifer’s body is, it’s important to remember that we’re all beautiful in our own way, and none of us, (repeat: none of us), need to change a single thing about ourselves. Even the lady herself agrees: “As long as it’s healthy, I embrace who I am. I feel sexy, I feel youthful, I feel pretty,” she once told Heat magazine.
So, rather than trying to copy every single thing the Let’s Get Loud singer does to get the body she has, let’s instead feel inspired to move and fuel our bodies in whatever way works best for us. Here we go!
What is Jennifer Lopez’s workout regime?
Lifting weights
Spending an hour every day on the treadmill isn’t the only way to get fit. In fact, combining cardio sessions with regular strength training, like lifting weights, offers a more well-rounded fitness regime that’ll see you lose fat and tone up at the same time. Jennifer herself is a big fan when it comes to that, and earlier this year she shared a photo of herself lifting weights. “Monday morning!! Let’s get it!!! #Lift,” she captioned the post. In another clip, she showed followers just how much she lifts during her sessions, and it’s safe to say we’re seriously impressed.
