JLo Workout: How She Gets In 6 Hours A Day!

JLo Workout Summary:

JLo Workout Routine

The JLo workout routine, by Tracy Anderson, is a split between:

1. Pilates Exercises by Tracy Anderson (30-60 min)
   
2. Weight Training / Toning (30 min)
   
3. Dance Exercises / Dance Rehearsals (2-4 hours)
   

Jennifer Lopez spends 1-1.5 hours a day on Pilates and weight training. When Jennifer Lopez gets in the spirit of her workouts, she says feels like:

A fighter, going into the ring. I do my cardio, and I do my workouts with the Tracy Anderson Method.

The rest of the time is dedicated to her greatest passion–dancing. JLo uses many of the dance routines made by Tracy. The former Fly Girl spends the majority of her time working on her own dance routines. JLo told Us Weekly:

You got to work out, you got to watch what you eat. It’s a job. You’ve got to buckle down.

That’s the biggest secret to JLo’s workout: dancing. By doing what she loves, JLo has found a way to stay moving. Although it may be her job, JLo stays fit by dancing up to 4 hours a day! Now it’s time to take a look at each part of the JLo workout routine (Pilates, Toning, Dancing) below:

JLo Pilates Routine

The JLo Pilates routine is formulated by Lopez’ trainer, Tracy Anderson.  Tracy Anderson refers to these as her Metamorphosis Program. Here are some Metamorphosis workout videos, done by JLo’s trainer, Tracy Anderson:

Start by doing as many reps as you can comfortably of each exercise. Jennifer Lopez aims for at least 20 reps minimum, of each exercise. If you’re looking to get the greatest benefit, you can add arm or ankle weights to the Pilates routine.

Jennifer Lopez spends at least an hour per day with her trainer, Tracy Anderson. After having babies, it wasn’t easy for JLo to just get back in shape. But, JLo got the job done, as her trainer says:

Jennifer has an insane ability to move and connect with her body. Jennifer knows what it feels like to be in what she calls ‘fighting shape.’ And after twins, it doesn’t just come back.

JLo Toning Routine

JLo usually spends 30 minutes per day on muscle toning. The JLo toning routine uses Tracy Anderson’s Precision Toning workouts. Each workout spends time focusing on a specific body part each day. Jennifer Lopez is especially focused on toning her arms, legs, butt and abs.

So, each day the JLo toning routine uses a Precision Toning workout to focus on one of these areas. The key to the toning workouts is to incorporate as many muscles as you can. This helps burn fat, and avoid bulkiness from relying the same muscle too often.

JLo Arms Workout

The JLo arms workout aims to tone her arms, without adding bulk. By constantly changing her workouts up, Jennifer Lopez shapes her arms nicely, without bulking. Here’s her trainer doing the arms workout.

JLo avoids bulky arms by using light weights, and changing her routine constantly. Tracy’s goal is to get JLo’s arms more toned than ever before. It looks like the JLo arms workout is working:

Tracy Anderson says the key to the JLo arms routine is to focus on getting all her muscles to work together. Traditional power-lifters isolate muscles and work them to capacity to bulk them up. Tracy Anderson says this is the wrong approach for her ladies, who want long and lean, toned arms:

You’re actually making your muscles stronger. It’s also making [your arms] tinier. Were not isolating our large muscles. We’re getting them stronger, and having them all work out together. We’re getting really great skin tone.

JLo Legs Workout

The JLo Legs Workout focuses on getting Jennifer those long legs. Here’s the Precision Toning legs workouts, done by JLo’s trainer Tracy Anderson (take your pick):

Jennifer Lopez loves these leg workouts because they focus on toning, rather than bulking. Tracy Anderson says:

Don’t over-exercise large muscles. The large muscles in the legs are massive, and they want to become even more massive. Don’t do the same repetitive movements over and over and don’t use heavy resistance.

Here’s a JLo legs workout, done by her trainer, that incorporates a chair for balance.

JLo Butt Workout

The JLo Butt Workout helps shape one of the most famous derrieres in the business.

Here’s the Precision Toning Butt workout done by JLo’s trainer, Tracy Anderson.

Jennifer Lopez may not always be willing to workout, but she told Redbook:

Sometimes when I get home and I’m not feeling so great, I make myself go to the gym. Then, I come home and take a shower, put on a great outfit, some makeup, tie my hair up, and I feel pepped up and great about myself.

Here’s another JLo Butt workout, Precision Toning Butt & Thighs, done by her, Tracy Anderson.

JLo Abs Workout

The JLo abs workout helps tone her sexy abs. The key to powering your body while dancing is using your core. Thus, Jennifer Lopez spends a lot of her time focused on strengthening her abs.

JLo Dance Routine

The JLo Dance Routine is a mix of Tracy Anderson’s inspirational dance videos, and JLo’s own dance routines. Dance exercises are a great way to have fun. They also burn a lot of fat.

Channeling Madonna–who was the first to famously admit she works out 6 hours a day–JLo works up to 6 hours a day, as well. This number may sound really high, but most of that time is spent dancing.

Here’s a compilation of dance workouts used during Jennifer Lopez dance routine, as done by her trainer, Tracy Anderson.

Jennifer Lopez Dance Workouts

The Jennifer Lopez Dance Workouts take up 2-4 hours of JLo’s day (when preparing for a performance). Although this may sound like a lot, you have to remember that this is JLo’s job. She takes it seriously. Most of the time she dances is spent dance rehearsing.

Our bodies’ metabolism is designed to be constantly moving, not sitting in a chair all day. Sitting for an hour without getting up, wrecks your metabolism. So, get up and dance! JLo’s trainer, Tracy Anderson, says that now is the time to workout:

You need to start now and actually make fitness a part of your lifestyle and then you can actually enjoy it and keep it. Don’t feel like you have to be perfect. Even if you can’t get perfect this summer, next summer you can.

The key is to enjoy yourself. Dancing is a great way to get fit, while having fun. You may think that because you’re not Jennifer Lopez, you can’t do her dance routines. But, nothing could be further from the truth! Many dance studios have created their own Jennifer Lopez dance routines.

Inspire yourself to workout, and have fun, by rocking out to JLo’s most popular songs:
