The Full-Body Workout That Keeps Jennifer Lopez Looking This Good

To put it mildly, “Jenny From The Block” looks good for 47. Heck, she would look unbelievable for 27! Factor in the fact that she’s had two children and it’s almost unfathomable. The “Booty” singer’s trainer, Tracy Anderson, shared J-Lo’s custom-designed full-body workout with Health Magazine, saying it packs an extra punch for the glutes. (Because of course it does.)

How it works: Anderson says to repeat each move for 30 reps, then switch sides and go for 30 more. If you really want J-Lo results, ankle weights will add a challenge (1½ or 2 pounds will work, but Lopez uses 5-pounders!). Ready to sweat? Let’s go!
1. Flexed Knee Pull and Arabesque: Start on all fours, then bring one knee in toward your chest. Flex it, then reach your leg all the way up and back. Return to starting position, then repeat.

2. Lunge Arabesque: Step one foot out to a kneeling side lunge. Lower yourself down onto your forearms, then extend that same leg back and up. Return to the side lunge position and repeat.

5. Shoulder Balance with Leg Pull: Start on all fours with one arm under your chest as you lower yourself down until your head and shoulders hit the mat. Extend your leg out to the side until your toes touch the floor. Lift that leg up and point your foot. Return to starting position and repeat.
