The Tracy Anderson Method
J.Lo’s trainer Tracy Anderson reveals EXCLUSIVELY to HollywoodLife.com all of the singer’s hot workout secrets. Tracy, an industry pro, has trained hot celebs such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna and Courtney Cox!
In her new movie, Parker, out January 25, Jennifer has to strip down in front of co-star Jason Statham! J.Lo was determined to be in amazing shape for both her world tour and her movie, and she wasn’t going to give less than her best.
“I have a lot of love for those people in the audience every night,” Jennifer says. “They got up, bought a ticket, sometimes stood for hours and even if I don’t feel like I have the smile in me, I feel like they deserve my best. I’m very conscious of that,” she tells HollywoodLife.com.
And Tracy understands Jennifer’s attitude about fitness.
“When someone’s preparing for tours and giving energy to that many people, they can’t be out of shape,” Tracy says. “Her workouts have to give her the ability to have endurance for the show,” adding, “We don’t want to change her sexy body!”
Tracy explains that the perfect workout for “Jenny from the Block” is not too extreme because the star loves her natural body and is secure with the way she looks.
“We wanted to design a workout to keep her sexy butt toned!” Tracy says.
Tracy reveals the key to getting J.Lo’s flawless body is tricking the muscles.
“We change the workout every 10 workouts,” she says. “That’s the secret. We can only stay on a movement every 10 days.” Tracy explains that by changing the exercise sequences every so often, the muscles are tricked and challenged, thus maximizing the workout results.
Jennifer Lopez’s Workout Secrets
Because J.Lo is constantly on the go, her workout needs to be manageable with her busy schedule. Tracy made sure to design a program that keeps Jennifer active but not overworked.
“She needs to get her exercise in one hour each day,” she says. “30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of muscular structure.” Tracy also reveals that in order for Jennifer to keep her rock hard body, she can’t go two days without a workout.
But you don’t have to be Jennifer Lopez to have a rock star body! Tracy says anyone can achieve J.Lo’s success.
“It’s like learning a new skill,” Tracy says about exercising. “It is possible. There’s not a woman’s body I can’t change!”
Wow! And after seeing how hot J.Lo is in Parker, we believe it!
