It is impossible to figure out how JLo finds the time to stay in shape, but by the looks of it she definitely makes time to exercise and be healthy. Unwilling to let go of her sexy killer curves, Jennifer teamed up with fitness pro Tracy Anderson.
Tracy has created the perfect exercise program suitable for Jennifer’s hectic life (singer/actress/entrepreneur/motherhood). She designed a program that wasn’t going to affect JLo’s booty and it only lasts an hour, making it convenient for Miss Lopez and any busy woman.
You might be thinking “I do 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training and I don’t look like her,” but Tracy says muscle confusion is the key to JLo’s killer body!
Muscle confusion is alternating your exercise movements every 10 days. If you continue to do the same workout everyday the muscles will get accustomed to the workout, they won’t be challenged and you won’t see any results. By tricking the muscles you’re forcing them to work. She also mentions that it is important not to skip a workout for more than 2 days!
Here are three moves that Tracy uses to firm and tighten the butt! (Make sure you switch the order of the exercises to leave the muscles guessing and you’ll have a more effective workout!)
Bone and Arrow:
- Start on the stomach with your legs bent and hip distance apart.
- Reach your arms behind and grab the outside of your feet, lifting your chest up.
- Straighten your left leg and arm so they hover a few inches off the floor.
- Hold for a few seconds, then return to start.
- Do 30 and repeat on the right side.
Booty Push:
- Sit on floor with feet in front of you, hands on floor behind you.
- Straighten your arms and turn your hands so your fingers are pointing towards your butt.
- Raise your left leg, keeping the knee bent and flex the foot.
- Extend your right leg, bend your elbows and lower your butt until it is a few inches off of the floor.
- Do three sets of 10 and switch legs.
Criss Cross:
- Sit on floor with feet in front of you, hands on floor behind you.
- Straighten your arms and turn your hands so your fingers are pointing towards your butt.
- Lift your hips and cross your right leg over the left.
- Straighten the right leg and lower it on the right side so the outside of your shoe touches the ground.
- Pause for 1 -2 seconds then cross it back over the left leg. That is one rep.
- Do three sets of 10 and switch sides.
