Jennifer Lopez, 51, reveals her fitness secret to staying in top shape: ‘Pushing harder and training smarter has paid off!’

Despite nearing the age of 52, Jennifer Lopez has maintained her stunning figure thanks to her strategic approach to working out. In an interview with InStyle Magazine, the Hustlers star revealed that she is in the best shape of her life. She explained that while she used to exercise in her 20s and 30s, her current routine is more focused and efficient. Instead of spending more time at the gym, she now works out harder and smarter, resulting in a more sculpted physique. Lopez, who is a mother to twins Max and Emme, emphasized that her new workout regimen has been key to achieving her current level of fitness.

When it comes to her body image, Jennifer Lopez, at 51, continues to flaunt her curves flawlessly. Despite her age, the Hustlers star revealed in an interview with InStyle Magazine that she is not increasing the frequency of her workouts, but rather intensifying them.

Good look: 'I'm in the best shape of my life. In my 20s and 30s I used to work out but not like I do now. It's not that I work out more; I just work out harder and smarter. And it doesn't take me as long as it did in the past,' said the mother to Max and Emme

Feeling great: “I’m feeling amazing these days. Back in my 20s and 30s, I used to hit the gym, but nothing like my routine now. I’m not working out more often, just working out smarter and harder. And the best part is, I don’t have to spend as much time as before,” shared the mother of Max and Emme.

According to sources, the former Fly Girl stands at 5’5″, weighs around 139lbs, and has a 26-inch waistline.

The topic came up when her ex-partner, Ben Affleck, jokingly asked, “Where are you hiding the secret to eternal youth? Why do you still look the same as you did in 2003 while I look like I’m in my 40s… at best?” To which Lopez humorously responded, “I don’t have any special beauty tricks other than JLo Beauty – and I’m sharing them all with everyone through my products. Ben is quite funny! He’s holding up pretty well too.”

During the conversation, the Jenny From The Block singer proudly stated, “I honestly believe that I’m currently in the best shape of my life.

Smooth: Jennifer insisted she does not work out every day for vanity but rather to feel her best. 'I do it more for my health than I do for looks, which is funny'

Jennifer emphasized that she doesn’t work out daily just for the sake of appearance, but to prioritize her overall well-being. “I focus more on my health rather than my looks, which is quite amusing,” she stated. The Bronx native pointed out that when you engage in activities for the right reasons, your physical appearance naturally improves as well.

During a conversation with Ryan Seacrest, who used to work with her on American Idol, he mentioned Jennifer’s exercise routine and eating habits. He shared that she does a variety of exercises such as ab raises, push ups, crunches, lunges, and uses weight machines for her legs. Regarding her diet, Seacrest revealed that she eats whatever she desires and never restricts herself. Jennifer’s advice to him was to enjoy a bite of the cookie instead of indulging in the whole thing.

In response to Seacrest’s story, Jennifer teased about sharing her secret cookie recipe someday, which she affectionately calls the J-dough. She hinted that these cookies are her favorite and have a special origin.

He is still a big fan: Ben noted that Jennifer had an incredible work ethic and doesn't seem to age; the two were together from 2002 until 2004. Seen in 2003

He is still a huge admirer: Ben observed that Jennifer possessed an incredible work ethic and seemed to defy the passage of time; the two were in a relationship from 2002 to 2004. This was evident in a photo taken in 2003.

While numerous friends, including Michelle Obama and Charlize Theron, shared insights about Jenny with the magazine, her current fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, did not offer any comments. Surprisingly, Jennifer was not wearing the stunning $1 million diamond engagement ring gifted to her by A-Rod in 2019.

The absence of Alex in the story, coupled with Jennifer displaying rings from Tiffany & Co. instead of her engagement ring, raised some eyebrows. However, a source dismissed any speculations of trouble between the couple, emphasizing that it is misleading to draw conclusions without sufficient information on the situation.

Despite previous rumors of relationship woes between Jennifer and Alex, they were recently spotted sharing intimate moments during her film shoot in the Dominican Republic. The pair was photographed kissing on a lounge chair in their bathrobes, refuting any breakup speculations.

In the InStyle issue, Jennifer looks stunning in various swimsuit and white tank top images captured on a beach scene, showcasing her timeless beauty and charm.
