As Lopez's trainer, David Kirsch, said, "Like the most amazing bottle of wine, she gets better with time and that is just the truth. Her skin is flawless. Her body is flawless."

She Trains Those Obliques
Nobody likes side-planks or crunches, but Lopez knows that those are the way to her toned sides. Embrace side-plank oblique twists or forearm side-plank twists if you want to follow in her fit footsteps. Plus, the move will help strengthen your core in general. Do the oblique challenges fifteen to twenty times every day and remember to keep every part of it controlled.

She Embraces High-Intensity Workouts
Rather than spending hour after hour in the gym, JLo prefers sticking to HIIT exercise routines. These involve specific bursts of high-intensity training that substantially cut down on abdominal subcutaneous and visceral fat. HIIT workouts push you to exert a maximum level of effort through quick, harsh bursts.

She Eats Well
Regardless of how much time JLo spends in the gym, she knows that a huge part of the battle happens in the kitchen. That's why she sticks to a diet that's rich in protein, vegetables, and water. Her number one tip is laying off the booze and staying hydrated throughout the day, and pile your plate with lean meats and veggies rather than carbs that leave you feeling bloated.
Hoping to look like Lopez when you're her age? Then you need to start working on your body goals today. Work on implementing a plank workout routine, HIIT exercises, and a diet that contributes to a trim body. Your abs may never rival the queen's, but they'll certainly improve over time with some dedication and effort.
