It's no secret that getting that six-pack is hard unless you choose to devote your lifestyle to it.
It's not impossible, but it does take time and dedication. J-Lo managed to do it, but not without a lot of hard work!
It's no secret that getting that six-pack is hard unless you choose to devote your lifestyle to it.
It's not impossible, but it does take time and dedication. J-Lo managed to do it, but not without a lot of hard work!
And she looks absolutely incredible, I might add.
Any pic of J-Lo is 100% her body, and she's proud of it! But, she also works super hard for it.
Because as we said, getting that six-pack takes a lot of hard work and dedication!
But it turns out that her rules are pretty reasonable!
If she does drink coffee, it has to be decaf.
“I haven’t had caffeine in years," she told Hollywood Life.
This one seems like a no-brainer if you're trying to tone up and boost that clean-living lifestyle. But it's not always easy to follow if you're constantly being invited to swanky Hollywood events!
"Hydrate. Drinking plenty of water, especially before a workout, can help you push harder and get more out of your exercise routine," she explained.
"What you eat doesn't just affect your body; it can also affect the way your skin looks," she explained.
We've all had those days where you'd rather do anything but go to the gym, but Jen knows how to push past it.
"Sometimes, I work too late the night before, and I’m like, ‘Ugh, I can’t do this.’ But I tell myself, ‘Just do it. It’s only an hour.’ It’s just talking yourself off the ledge of being a lazy bum," she said.
Jen doesn't have to hit the gym every single day, but it's still pretty frequent.
"When I’m in New York, I work out with David Kirsch — he’s an amazing trainer. When I’m in L.A., I work with Tracy Anderson. I like the balance that they both give me. They have two totally different approaches. I like switching it up with my body," she said.
We all know that getting a good night's sleep is important for your overall health, and Jennifer takes that very seriously.
"I make it a priority to get eight hours' sleep a night," she revealed.
When the cravings hit, she turns to protein, she explained.
"Protein is my go-to whenever I start having cravings. It fills me up and keeps me full longer. It's a great muscle fuel."
It makes perfect sense that she's all about clean eating. She sticks to a balanced, nutrient-rich, organic diet, and won't touch processed and refined foods.
Even when she goes out to eat, she won't indulge.
"I'm a very social person and love spending time with my friends and family, so when we go out to eat I try to make healthy choices. Most restaurants offer healthy, low-calorie meals so I watch for things on the menu that fit my lifestyle. I'll have a salad or some fish with veggies. And I make sure I drink lots of water throughout the meal," she explained.
Besides eating balanced meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Jen always makes sure that when she's looking for a snack, it's always healthy. She's usually reaching for the vegetables, and loves to share them with her kids!
Beyond diet and exercise, Jen makes sure that she's always protecting her skin.
"I’m rarely in the sun, but if I am, I wear a lot of sunscreen. I’ve never been one to take a lot of sun, which is why my skin has maintained itself," she said.
Jen explained why this is an important step after hitting the gym. "I always, always wash my face after a workout. That helps keep my pores clean and my skin feeling healthy," she said.
J-Lo's lifestyle definitely isn't for everyone, but it works for her!
