If you cannot believe your eyes every time you see Jennifer Lopez with her flawless body, then you are not alone.

Here, we run through Lopez’s diet and exercise routine. And while we are all in total envy of her sculpted physique, we are all the more impressed by it with the knowledge that she turned 51 in July!

Her diet

A lot of water, and then some more water

Jennifer’s number one rule is to keep well hydrated. She drinks a lot of water, especially before exercising, which helps her push harder and get more out of the exercises.  

She keeps her body hydrated and well-rested after working out, so she can hit it hard the next day as well.

No alcohol or caffeine

It is crucial to know what you should not be putting in your body. In her case, she steers clear of caffeine. And when she does drink coffee, she drinks it decaffeinated. 

And she hasn’t drunk alcohol for years. Way to go, JLo! 

Clean eating

Lopez sticks to a nutrient-rich, balanced diet, and has cut out all refined and processed foods. All she eats is organic, with the balance of nutrient-dense food and high-quality proteins. 

Her lunch menu consists of salmon and broccoli, or capsicum salad and zucchini. For dinner, Jennifer usually eats quinoa paired with a protein. This may sound restrictive to you, but she has never starved herself. Instead, JLo eats foods that properly fuel her for the day. Even when she is dining out, she makes healthy choices as well. 

According to her nutritionist Haylie Pomroy, her diet is healthy since it consists of non-starchy veggies and lean proteins, along with healthy fats and carbs like sweet potatoes and brown rice. Her snacks are also veggies or fruit, not a packet of chips! 

Her exercise routine

Leg workout

While Jennifer Lopez upped her strength workouts for learning how to pole dance for the movie Hustlers, it seems that she is just as committed to her training always. Here is a sneak peek of her intense leg workout. She is doing heavy-weight, low-rep leg press alongside her trainer.

Mixing up the workouts

The key to her dedication to exercise lies in her tendency to mix up the workouts.

She works with two trainers who have totally different approaches because she loves the balance they give her. When exercising in LA with Tracy Anderson, she has a relaxed approach to her routine, incorporating arm weights with exercises that corporate the thighs, core, and butt. 

Her exercising routine in New York with David Kirsch is higher in intensity. Their workouts consist of circuit training, kickboxing, burpees, lunges, and abs exercises. 

Butt workout

To sculpt her butt, Jennifer Lopez incorporates a platypus walk into her workout. This move is the most effective workout for the butt, as you can see. 

This low squat technique, which you can see here, works on the thighs and tones, and lifts the butt.

Full-body workout 

She incorporates resistance bands, gliders, medicine balls, and dumbbells for her full-body workout. This express workout is sculpting and low-impact. Lopez’s focus on arm workouts, while focusing on her butt, is one of the secrets to her toned derrière, back, and arms.
