The mum-of-two, who is in a relationship with US baseball player Alex Rodriguez, is known for her healthy lifestyle and clean eating. She began her career as a professional dancer, so has always kept in shape. Alex recently told People that the pair enjoy exercising together: "She is a great jock, a former track star in school, and I enjoy working out with her," he revealed. "Jennifer and I mix it up. We like to lift, and we enjoy bike riding. She is a talented jock."
And JLo's personal trainer David Kirsch has told US Weekly: "Jennifer has crazy discipline during her workouts, which many people miss during at-home or in-the-gym exercise classes. She is able to focus on every single move that is given to her to ensure that she is doing it with reason and seeing results." He says the star likes to train with medium-sized free weights, medicine balls, TRX straps and resistance bands, as well as doing body weight exercises.
