Bench Hip Up
Next up? A bench hip-up. "This move works the core," Bowen explains. Lopez explained to InStyle that she has become more efficient with fitness. "In my 20s and 30s I used to work out but not like I do now," she tells the magazine. "It's not that I work out more; I just work out harder and smarter. And it doesn't take me as long as it did in the past. I do it more for my health than I do for looks, which is funny. When you do things for the right reasons, you actually look better!"
