That along with stretching and staying limber and mobile are the most important things."

She tells HollywoodLife that she works with two different trainers. “When I’m in New York, I work out with David Kirsch — he’s an amazing trainer. When I’m in L.A., I work with Tracy Anderson. I like the balance that they both give me. They have two totally different approaches. I like switching it up with my body.”

4. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Lopez has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her secrets in her HollywoodLife interview. “I’m rarely in the sun, but if I am, I wear a lot of sunscreen.

5. She Gets Enough Sleep

Lopez has a busy schedule, and often works late nights. However, she makes sure to get enough sleep each night. “I love a good nine or 10 hours, but I can never get that,” she told HollywoodLife. “So seven or eight is mandatory.

I don’t know anyone that has her worth ethic.” This means that she knows when enough is enough. “She is very soft and gentle with herself in a really beautiful way that you wouldn’t expect.

She ended up having a panic attack. “I asked the doctor if I was going crazy. He said, 'No, you're not crazy. You need sleep...get 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night, don't drink caffeine, and make sure you get your workouts in if you're going to do this much work.'”
