Jennifer Lopez, 51, reveals her secret to staying fit and healthy: “Working smarter and harder than ever before!”

Jennifer Lopez, who is nearing 52, has maintained her famous curves through a more strategic approach to working out. In an interview with InStyle Magazine, the Hustlers star revealed that she is not exercising more these days, but rather focusing on working out smarter to achieve a more toned physique. Lopez shared, “I’m currently in the best shape of my life. Back in my 20s and 30s, I used to exercise, but not with the same intensity as I do now. It’s not about working out more frequently; it’s about working out harder and more efficiently. And the best part is, it doesn’t take me as much time as it used to.” Lopez is a proud mother of twins Max and Emme.

Body image: Despite being 51 years old, Jennifer Lopez continues to flaunt her stunning curves. In a recent interview with InStyle Magazine, the Hustlers star revealed that she hasn’t been hitting the gym more often, but rather pushing herself harder during her workouts.

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

Looking great: “I’m feeling amazing these days. Back in my 20s and 30s, I was in decent shape but nothing compared to now. I haven’t necessarily upped the amount of exercise I do; I’ve just become more intense and strategic about it. Plus, it doesn’t take as much time as it used to,” shared the mother of Max and Emme.

According to reports, the former Fly Girl stands at 5ft 5in, weighs around 139lbs, and boasts a 26-inch waistline.

The conversation started when her ex-fiance Ben Affleck jokingly asked, “Where are you hiding the fountain of youth? How come you look just as good as you did back in 2003 while I seem to be aging faster than usual?”. In response, Lopez, who is currently working on the film Marry Me alongside Owen Wilson, mentioned, “I don’t have any secrets to looking young except for JLo Beauty – and I share all my tips with everyone through my products. Ben is quite the comedian! He’s aging pretty well too.”

And that’s when the Jenny From The Block singer proudly stated, “I truly believe that I am at my physical peak right now.”

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 for superficial reasons, but rather to prioritize her well-being. “I do it more for my health than for appearance, which is pretty amusing,” she mentioned. “When your intentions are right, you end up looking better, too!”

Her fitness routine has evolved over the years. Although she doesn’t necessarily work out more now, she does so with greater intensity and efficiency. It doesn’t consume as much time as it used to back in her 20s and 30s.

In 2019, her fitness trainer revealed that Jennifer includes ab raises, push-ups, crunches, lunges, and weight machine exercises for her legs in her workouts. Additionally, there was mention in the article of her eating habits, with Ryan Seacrest sharing insights from their time working together on American Idol.

“Jennifer is undeniably in fantastic shape. She keeps herself fit by working out, but she also embraces her food cravings, while I tend to restrict myself,” Ryan Seacrest said. He recounted one instance when Jennifer encouraged him to enjoy a small treat rather than completely depriving himself.

In response, Jennifer quipped, “I’ll share my secret cookie recipe someday. It’s a favorite of mine and came from a mysterious pair. I might just call it the J-dough!”

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

Ben still admires Jennifer, mentioning her impressive work ethic and timeless beauty, as they were a couple from 2002 to 2004. In a 2003 photo, they were seen together.
Many friends spoke to the magazine about Jennifer, such as Michelle Obama and Charlize Theron, but her current fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, did not make an appearance. Interestingly, Jennifer was not wearing the $1M diamond engagement ring that A-Rod gave her in 2019. She instead showcased rings from Tiffany & Co.
While Alex’s absence from the story raised eyebrows, sources claim that it does not signify any relationship trouble between the couple. Reports of ongoing arguments between Jennifer and Alex surfaced last month, fueling speculations about a possible split. However, they were recently spotted together in the Dominican Republic, where Jennifer was filming Shotgun Wedding with Josh Duhamel.
The photos from the InStyle shoot display Jennifer in a swimsuit and a white tank top, exuding her effortless beauty and charisma as she strolls along the beach.
