16 ways Jennifer Lopez makes 51 look 31

In an interview with Spanish-language radio station, El Zol 107.9, Jennifer admitted that just like us she struggled with lockdown, but offered her advice to help get through it: "Do a little workout at home, do something that's going to make you feel good. Cook something you like, lift yourself up, keep going."

In fact Alex Rodriguez shared their 20 minute at-home workout on Instagram, which consists of four sets of five exercises: a 400m run, 15 kettlebell swings, 10 push-ups, 15 overhead shoulder presses, and 15 bent-over rows.

For most of us, our birthday means a day/week of total excess...not for Jenny from the block. As she revealed in one of her Instagram posts, "Feeling like superwoman after the show tonight!! When I started this run I thought omg 15 shows in 27 days that's a lot... but I made a promise to myself that instead of letting it wear me down I would be even stronger at the end of it... I will work out and be in the best shape of my life... There were moments I was tired and there was travel and I had to fit in my workouts where I could... But here we are with only 3 shows left!! And I am having so many emotions but mostly just feeling strong, happy and grateful!!"

Glycolic acid skincare works as a chemical exfoliator on the skin by dissolving dead skin cells and gently resurfacing. As well as removing dead surface cells it also encourages cell turnover, which is ideal for sun-damaged, mature skin. So it's no wonder that Jennifer revealed to People that she loves using glycolic for a "healthy glow".

Taking to Instagram, Jlo shared a pic of her new leggings before starting her morning working routine. With the caption "Up and at 'em rise and shine...about to get in this workout in my new leggings" you can tell she didn't get that body by hitting snooze every morning.

And not because she's a descendant of Edward Cullen. It's no secret that UV exposure destroys collagen and elastic fibres in the skin, causing premature ageing. Which is why Jenny from the Block avoids that big, hot, shiny star as much as possible. As she explained to InStyle:

"I am a firm believer in SPF. I try not to stay out in the sun too long."

We all know that alcohol, coffee and smoking aren't good for our skin, but we still indulge in at least two of them on the regular, not Jlo though, as she told US Weekly:

"I don't drink, smoke, or have caffeine. That really wrecks your skin as you get older." Well that's us screwed then...

There's one thing you won't find Jennifer doing and that's indulging in our favourite night time habit...Netflix, as she explained to InStyle.

"The number one tip is to always get enough sleep. I can’t stress this enough. Ideally I would love to get nine or 10 hours of sleep, but either way, I always make sure I get at least eight."

No sun, lots of sleep...sounds like a vampire to me.

Despite reports that Jen smothers herself in £300 pots of La Mer moisturiser, she confessed on an episode of Watch What Happens Live that she actually swears by Dr Hauschka's Rose Day Cream, which she buys in Whole Foods.

Jennifer started meditating in 2015 when juggling her acting, presenting and singing career. Now she meditates for 20 minutes every single morning and night.

If the thought of hiring a personal trainer terrifies you, spare a thought for Jlo who revealed to US Weekly that she has two.

"When I am in New York I work out with David Kirsch - he's an amazing trainer. When I'm in LA, 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."

Hmmm maybe we should renew that gym membership after all.

One thing you definitely won't find Jen doing is sleeping in her makeup, as she told Hello:

"I always, always wash my face after a workout. That helps keep my pores clean and my skin feeling healthy."

And her favourite cleanser of choice?

Obviously doing all that exercise works up a thirst, which is why Jen is all about the H20 life, as she told Hello:

"First of all, hydrate. Drinking plenty of water, especially before a workout, can help you push harder and get more out of your exercise routine."

I know you want us to tell you that Jlo looks like this on a diet of Nandos and diet coke but the truth is eats a very clean, unprocessed diet, as she told US Weekly:

"We eat a lot of green vegetables, asparagus, Brussel sprouts, broccoli and kale. I love to cook, I cook a lot of stuff, I love cooking Puerto Rican food because that's what I grew up on."

In an interview with Access Hollywood, Jennifer's fiance, Alex Rodriguez revealed that performing at the Superbowl had been "a dream of hers, her whole life". It's no wonder then that she started her strict training regime early, with Alex explaining in November 2019 that she had already been training for six weeks.
