Jennifer Lopez Workout Routine

In a recent interview, JLO admitted that working out and getting her heart rate pumping is something that makes her very happy. For her, exercise is a daily priority and taking the time to dance is key to her happiness. Lopez never skimps on her daily training session and likes to work out in the morning because she finds it harder to sweat out in the gym later in the day.

Jennifer Lopez likes to mix and match with her workouts. When she is in New York, she trains with David Kirsch, and in LA, she works out with Tracy Anderson. Her personal trainers have different approaches, and they both provide her the balance she needs. Exercising with Anderson is slightly more relaxing, and she incorporates weight training with moves that target the thighs, core, and butt. In comparison, her training session with Kirsch is slightly more intense consisting of circuit training, kickboxing, burpees, lunges, and ab workouts.
