With their heavenly hair flips, figure-hugging costumes and fierce dance moves, Super Bowl 2020 halftime show starring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira is said to be the sexiest yet.

That’s because, with 19 studio albums, more than 155 million records sold, and a 12-pack of abs between them, the Latin songstresses have the most enviable physique in the entertainment industry for the past two decades. Here’s how two of them stay finely tuned over 40.

JLo

Diet do’s: Lopez is known for her meticulous eating habits and mixing lean proteins with plenty of veggies. She also drinks a lot of water to stay hydrated. She keeps her diet very clean. There’s no way you can maintain a figure like hers without being strict about diet.

Diet don’ts: JLo hasn’t had caffeine or alcohol in years. Lopez has also been known for giving up sugar and going vegan for extended periods of time. Last January and again before the May 2019 Met Gala, both Lopez and Rodriguez embarked on a 10-day no-sugar, no-carb challenge, which they both posted about on social media, encouraging others to join.

Workout routine

To help sculpt JLo’s revered rear, celebrity trainer David Kirsch has used the following moves:

Goblet platypus walks

Hold one dumbbell vertically in both hands and lower yourself into a plie squat position with feet slightly wider than shoulders width apart. Remain low in the squat and step forward a few inches making sure to land on your heel. Waddle forward for five steps and then walk five backward. Repeat the cycle five times for a total of 50 steps.

Bulgarian squats

Hold a pair of dumbbells at your side, taking care not to lock your elbows. Place your left foot up on a bench or box behind you, and flex the foot so the toe is anchored on the box. Keep your right foot flat on the floor in front of you so that when you lower your right knee, your knee tracks in line with the toes. Bend the right knee into a lunge and straighten the leg without locking the knee. Do 15 repetitions and repeat with your other leg.

Plank with dumbbells

This multifaceted move works the core, glutes and triceps. Start in a high plank (pushup) position, holding a dumbbell in one hand. With the core and glutes engaged, bend your arm at the elbow and extend it back parallel to your body. Do 12 to 15 reps on one side, then move the weight to the other arm and repeat.

SHAKIRA

Diet do’s: Shakira usually starts the day with soft-boiled eggs, turkey lettuce wraps, or a chocolate smoothie made with plant-based protein powder, says her trainer Anna Kaiser. “For a treat we always have berries and/or 80 per cent or higher dark chocolate and almonds.”

Diet don’ts: “No sugar, no dairy,” says Kaiser. “But she loves chocolate so we look for sugar-free options.”

Workout routine

Kaiser thinks beyond the classic crunch to carve out Shakira’s washboard abs.

Twisted jackknife

Start in a plank position with your hands on the floor and your quads or shins (more advanced option) on the ball. Press down into your shins on the ball as you lift your hips to the ceiling and pull your knees slightly toward your left elbow. Return to plank and repeat on the other side. Do three sets of 10 reps.

Oblique teaser

Start seated, knees bent, balancing on your left glute with your left hand on the floor behind you and your right arm straight out to the side. Bend the left arm to lower onto your forearm, slightly extend your legs forward and raise your right arm up straight next to your right ear. Return to starting position. Repeat 15 times then switch to the right side.

The bicyclist

Start in a seated position on the floor in a C curve (you can use a Pilates ball nestled in your lower back for additional support). With arms straight by your sides, actively press down into the tops of a set of weights to activate the entire core. From there, alternate pulling your knees into your chest and extending the opposite leg either on the floor or keeping it extended off the floor. Continue for 30-second intervals, then rest and repeat three to five times.
