You kick my a** every time,” Maria responded. How does Jennifer approach health and fitness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Jump Roping
Jennifer recently shared a video of herself jumping rope on Instagram. "I spent Christmas afternoon jumping rope in the snow to justify all the sugar cookies I consumed. I hope you all did something that brings you joy this year, on whatever holiday you celebrate,” she captioned the post.
2. Strength and Weight Training

In their workout video the women do “a combination of dumbbell squats and step ups,” says Kendra Gamble, HIT Fitness Training, Huntingdon Valley, PA, NPTI Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritional Consultant. They also do kneeling alternating ball slams and a “Plank up burpee but just without the jump at the end,” she says.
3. Paddle Boarding

The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140 pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.
4. Gymnastics

Jennifer was a gymnast. "I've always been very athletic. I love being athletic. I love being physical," she told People. "So being able to sort of marry that with my acting career has just been a dream. It also helped her for her viral dance to Wig Wam's "Do Ya Wanna Taste It.”
5. Track and Field
Jennifer also revealed to People: “Fun fact: I was a pole vaulter in high school, and these photos (sent to me recently by my friend Chris Saba) are my only proof! My coach persuaded me to try it because I was a gymnast... I am not tall, so I thought I’d suck, but I turned out to be pretty good,” she said.
6. Hiking
