Ever wondered how Jennifer Lopez achieves her incredible figure? You no longer have to. J-Lo's trainer and fitness guru David Kirsch shared all the details with HELLO! on the star's workout routine, and the post-workout necessity for an added boost.
Just by looking at the 53-year-old, it's clear that J-Lo's workout is not for the faint of heart. It turns out though that you copy her routine at home, and with minimal equipment.

1. Sumo Squat with Medicine Ball
Stand up straight while opening up your legs so they’re slightly wider than your shoulders. Keep your toes pointed outwards. Come down into a squat while holding a medicine ball straight ahead. This targets inner thighs, abs and glutes.

2. Reverse Lunges
Step backward with one of your legs. Bending your back leg so your back knee nearly touches the ground. Your front knee should be parallel to the ground. In order to avoid injury, keep your ankle and knee aligned.
3. Plank on a Medicine Ball
Place your medicine ball on the floor and hold onto it while performing a 30-second plank. "Make sure your hands are aligned with your shoulders and your core is engaged," says Kirsch. Your abs will feel like they're on fire.
J-Lo reportedly works out two to three times a week to achieve her toned figure
4. Lateral Lunge
Keep your right heel on the glider, then your foot out while moving your body down (a lateral lunge!). Do the same on the other side. This targets your glutes.

6. Shoulder Taps
"From a plank position, keep your hips squared off," says Kirsch. Then, begin tapping your shoulders with opposite hands.
7. Side Planks
Rest on your side before putting your weight on your forearm while keeping your hips up high. Keep your opposite arm up, and place that same hand on your head before using that elbow to reach toward your abs.
8. Overhead Slams with Medicine Ball
This move requires a medicine ball. Keep your arms straight overhead and legs shoulder-width apart, slam down the medicine ball on each side. This move is a clear fan favourite.
9. Torso Rotation with Resistance Band
"Bend your legs. Knees are locked. Arms are straight out. And rotate," Kirsch says. Holding on to a resistance band the entire time, pulling across your body, keeping your core tight to target your obliques.
