J.Lo’s personal trainer reveals her incredible body-toning workout routine

David Kirsch says you need post-workout as we reveal the one game-changing tool fitness and our new health section will certainly inspire you.

Still need to get summer ready and put that effort in? Give a new workout one more try and consider one of the workouts that Jennifer Lopez has by during the pandemic to stay in tip-top shape. Her trainer, fitness and wellness guru David Kirsch,

If you take one look at the superstar, it’s easy to see that her fitness routine is not for the faint of heart, but you can do this one at home with minimal equipment.

All you’ll need is a medicine ball, gliders, dumbbells, and a resistance band to knock it out. It’s a 4-circuit workout that includes sumo squats, lunges, planks, and more. 

As for the post-workout tool David recommends, it’s MiHIGH’s popular infrared sauna blanket, which launched in May 2020 in the UK and quickly sold thousands. It uses infrared heat to detoxify the body, and burns calories, improves sleep, reduces stress, and boosts collagen. It also reduces inflammation, promotes blood flow, and releases toxins. 

David recommends that it’s used 2-3 times per week for 45 – 60 minutes for the best results. 

Take a peek at the full breakdown for J.Lo’s workout below. 

J.Lo’s four-circuit workout

Perform each exercise for 1 minute. If exercise involves alternating sides – do them for 30 seconds on each side.

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.

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. 

5. Dumbbell Row to Tricep Extension

Using dumbbells, start off in a plank pose and bring your left elbow (the hand holding the weight) up toward the ceiling and extend toward the back. Do 10 reps on each side.

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.

10. Squat with Row and Bicep Curls with Resistance Band

Using resistance bands, squat down, then as you come up, bring the band toward your body and curl.

11. Tricep Extensions with Resistance Band

Standing with your back toward the resistance bands, reach for them and bring them straight overhead, past your face.

12. Unwind and Relax with MiHIGH

15 minutes in MiHIGH Sauna Blanket at 122 degrees to 140 degrees and you can work up from there.
