Whose jaw DIDN’T drop when they saw pics of Jennifer Lopez at the American Music Awards last night? The 45-year-old mum of twins looked sensational in her pale pink Reem Acra frock. The knee length dress was cut to reveal J-Lo’s incredible abs, perfectly showing off her gym-honed figure.
It wasn’t just her bod that blew us away. Jen has possibly the glowiest skin in the whole of Hollywood. And in a LaLa land, where having a fancy facial is as normal as eating breakfast, that’s saying something.
How can we look like J-Lo? That was the question on most of the heat staffers’ lips today. She must only eat veggies and fruit, right? Nope! That said, she doesn’t binge on burgers. Jen has a very sensible outlook when it comes to her health…
“There are a number of weird diets out there but I don’t follow them. I eat almost everything, only in moderation. A little piece of something fattening is not going to kill you. It’s when you eat the whole box that it’s going to kill you.”
We like that philosophy a LOT. And if you fancy having a, erm, crack at getting a J-Lo booty, why not try doing the ‘fire hydrant’?
According Lanae Rhodes of Flex Studios NYC, this is just the thing to get your butt in shape…
“Squats and dead lifts are really great to achieve that J-Lo-esque booty,” Lanae told HollywoodLife.com, “Deadlifts especially really help to get that coveted ‘lift.’ It’s most beneficial and effective to do exercises that hit your glutes from all angles."
"For instance, get on all fours and lift a bent leg to the side — we call this “fire hydrant.” A controlled lift and lower for about 30-45 seconds on each side, all while squeezing the glutes, will work wonders on your backside. This move works the thighs as well. You want recovery time, so 3 to 4 times a week with this kind of move is a safe bet. Along with butt-targeted exercises and short, intense bursts of cardio, a clean and healthy diet I the best way to help minimize the appearance of cellulite.”
