Jennifer Lopez, 51, reveals her fitness secrets to staying in top shape: Working harder and smarter than ever before!

At nearly 52, Jennifer Lopez has managed to maintain her famous curves, revealing that her secret isn’t necessarily working out more, but rather working out smarter and harder. In an interview with InStyle Magazine, the Hustlers actress shared that she’s in the best shape of her life, despite not spending more time at the gym. Back in her 20s and 30s, Lopez worked out, but it wasn’t as intense or focused as it is now. With twins Max and Emme to keep up with, she has found a routine that has helped her achieve a better sculpted frame in less time.

When it comes to her body, Jennifer Lopez is proof that age is just a number. At 51, she still flaunts her curves effortlessly. In a recent interview with InStyle Magazine, the Hustlers actress revealed that she’s not hitting the gym more often, just putting in more effort 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 stunning, Jennifer Lopez confidently shared, “I’m feeling better than ever. Back in my 20s and 30s, I worked out, but now I’m doing it harder and smarter. I don’t spend as much time on it as I used to, but the results are amazing.” According to sources, the former Fly Girl stands at 5ft5in, weighs about 139lbs, and sports a 26-inch waistline.

The conversation started when her ex-fiance, Ben Affleck, jokingly asked her, “Where are you hiding the fountain of youth? You still look the same as you did in 2003, while I’ve aged gracefully, looking like I’m in my 40s…maybe.” Lopez, who is starring in the upcoming film Marry Me alongside Owen Wilson, playfully responded, “I don’t have any beauty secrets except for JLo Beauty – and I’m sharing them with everyone through my products. Ben’s humorous! He’s still got it too.”

Then, the Jenny From The Block singer added, “I genuinely believe that right now, I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been.

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 her daily workout routine is not driven by vanity but by a desire to feel her best and stay healthy. She mentioned, “I prioritize my health over appearance. It’s funny how taking care of yourself internally can show externally.” The Bronx native also suggested that doing things with the right intentions can lead to looking better.

In a 2019 interview, her fitness trainer revealed that Jennifer incorporates ab raises, push-ups, crunches, lunges, and weight machine exercises for her legs into her workout regimen. The article also featured insights from her friend, Ryan Seacrest, who worked with her on American Idol. Reflecting on J-Lo’s approach to eating, he admitted, “Jennifer stays in great shape without depriving herself. She enjoys what she wants in moderation.”

In response to Seacrest’s remarks, Lopez teased about sharing her secret cookie recipe in the future, jokingly calling it “J-dough.” She hinted that the recipe was passed down from a mysterious couple and that those cookies are her personal favorite. So, maybe one day, everyone will have a chance to taste the famous J-dough from Jennifer Lopez.

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 remains a devoted admirer: Ben mentioned that Jennifer had an exceptional work ethic and appears to be ageless; they were in a relationship from 2002 to 2004. A snapshot from 2003 captures their bond.
Despite various friends speaking highly of Jenny in a magazine feature, including Michelle Obama and Charlize Theron, her current fiancé Alex Rodriguez did not provide any input.
Interestingly, the famous Bronx native was not seen wearing the $1M diamond engagement ring that A-Rod gave her in 2019.
Alex’s absence from the story is noticeable, and it’s worth noting that Jennifer decided not to wear the $1M diamond engagement ring that the former baseball player offered to her on a beach in 2019. Instead, she proudly flaunted rings from Tiffany & Co.
While some may speculate that Alex’s exclusion from the story hints at relationship issues, a source clarified that this is not the case and there is no cause for concern.
Reports of discord between Jennifer and Alex surfaced recently, suggesting that a breakup announcement was imminent after months of arguments. However, the alleged split never materialized, and Alex even flew to the Dominican Republic to support Jennifer while she filmed Shotgun Wedding with Josh Duhamel.
Photographs showing the couple kissing on a lounge chair in their bathrobes, obtained by DailyMail.com, contradicted the breakup rumors, showcasing their affection for each other.
The InStyle magazine feature displays Jennifer in various stunning images, including her donning a swimsuit and a white tank top as she strolls along a beach.
