Jennifer Lopez is still looking hot, but that’s no surprise, is it? Just a few weeks ago people were talking about her New Year’s outfit where she performed in the Big Apple with a body suit on and she looked fabulous. And last week, while at a Scott Barnes book launch she told US magazine that she’s not ‘crazy’ about her workouts and even though she may not go to the gym everyday she tries to be consistent. Likewise, she has all the right to brag by saying,

“My abs are pretty flat for having twins!”

In a different interview with the New York Post last week she said that she does the StairMaster, boxing, biking and plenty of lunges. But she has no plans on losing loads of weight. She said,

“It’s true I could serve coffee using my rear as a ledge, but I’m proud of my butt,” she said. “A dress shouldn’t look like a coat hanger. Skinny girls miss out.”

Jennifer Lopez certainly knows how to ring in to the New Year, and it seems that 2010 will be her year. The 41-year-old singer is once again the talk of Tinsletown after donning a sparkly skin-tight catsuit on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve to perform her single “Waiting For Tonight”.

Revelers at the Times Square performance had mixed reactions though, ranging from the approving wolf whistles to damning comments calling her a “weird naked Barbie doll” and “looks like elephant skin”, according to NYDailyNews.com.

Jennifer was wearing nothing else except the catsuit and equally sparkly Christian Louboutin heels. But one wonders whether the mother of twins Max and Emma wore the bodysuit to drum up publicity for her career in the new year. She certainly knows how to make a statement…

For years it’s been known that spicy food is a good way to kick-start your metabolism and burn more fat quicker, and now scientists have found a way to put all that spicy goodness in a pill. Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears and Brad Pitt have been said to be fans of Capsiplex, a weight-loss supplement consisting of hot peppers and capsicum that burns as many calories as a 25-minute jog.

The makers of Capsiplex conducted trials at the University of Oklahoma and result proved that the supplement burns 278 more calories before, during and after exercise. But because capsicum is such a spicy ingredient, the challenge was to create a supplement that was safe to ingest in large quantities.

“For decades, scientists have known about the weight-loss potential of red-hot peppers,” a spokesperson told The Daily Mail. “The problem has been the ability to consume such a highly concentrated amount, but we have overcome this by putting a protective coating on the ingredients which stops any gastric irritation. At last we have a safe and healthy supplement to help weight loss.”

Already on shelves in America, Capsiplex has just been introduced in the United Kingdom.

Celeb Diet Doc…
Whether this type of supplement results in weight loss is a big question mark…. but the data is not encouraging.

A previous study using red pepper extract showed that it is was no more effective than a placebo in preventing weight gain after modest weight loss, even though the red pepper group had more fat burning.

Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez, known for her insured backside and voluptuous body has given diet and exercise the back seat. The 40-year-old dropped the weight quickly after giving birth to twins almost two years ago and although she’s back to singing and acting she’s not too worried about her body like she used to be. In the January issue of Allure Magazine she said,

“I’m not the monster I used to be in the exercise department. You get past your 20s, you’ve got kids….and you’re kind of unmotivated.”

She also mentioned that she still wants to be healthy and look good but she wants to maintain her figure by doing the least amount of work possible. Considering she’s been dancing her entire life she probably has an awesome metabolism and doesn’t have to worry about it that much. But she will hit the gym extra hard when she’s preparing for a big performance and she is careful to control her portion size when she eats.

Whether they’ve just given birth, hate doing crunches or don’t have a lot of time to spend in the gym, these celebrities have found ways to get enviable bodies. Their trainers spill the secrets…

Ashlee Simpson
Mike Alexander, who has worked with new-mom Ashlee Simpson and her sister Jessica, says the way to rid of the fat that hides your muscles is to work your abs isometrically with strength training exercises such as the plank or wall sit. A strict diet of lean proteins and vegetables will also help.

Jennifer Lopez
Gunnar Peterson helped Jennifer Lopez through her first triathlon and says sleep is often overlooked. When you don’t get enough sleep (even as little as 2 hours less than regularly) you might as well add calories and subtract cardio time, especially when you feel like you’ve hit a plateau in your training.

Jessica Alba
Ramona Braganza’s 321 Baby Bulge Be Gone workouts helped Jessica Alba (and Halle Berry) retain her pre-Honor figure.

“You repeat a 10-minute cardio segment and a 10-minute strength segment 3 times, which adds up to an hour-long workout,” says Braganza. “In addition to traditional sit-ups and crunches, try moves like planking, squat thrusts and oblique exercises on a ball to strengthen transverse muscles.”

Tori Spelling
Tori Spelling’s trainer, Ashley Borden, says exercises that force you use every major body part will work the smaller muscles while keeping your heart rate up at the same time.

Kate Hudson
Constantly being on the road can seriously cut into your gym time, but a Triad ball can help you take your workout with you wherever you go.

“When deflated, they don’t take up too much room in your suitcase and they’re easy to blow up,” says Nicole Stuart, Kate Hudson’s trainer. “Use them to do modified crunches and oblique exercises wherever you are.”

Jennifer Lopez just turned 40 last week and she still looks gorgeous.  In February 2008 she dropped 50 pounds after giving birth to her twins and she has kept the weight off and still looks like ‘Jenny from the Block.’  Her trainer Gunnar Peterson gave In Touch Magazine the exclusive on what Jennifer does to stay in shape.  He began by saying that she’s a hard worker and no matter how busy she is, she’ll always find time to squeeze in a workout.  He said,

“She isn’t afraid to push herself in the gym.  She’s not somebody who blows it off because she’s working 18-hour days on the set. She finds a way to get back in, even if it means exercising really late at night.”

Peterson told the magazine that she will work out for at least an hour two to six days a week.  She will do a 10-minute warm-up and then a series of high-intensity cardio paired with strength and resistance moves.  Jennifer has said in the past,

“I do weights and cardio, but I try to take a soft, feminine approach.”

Peterson also revealed that the songstress/actress uses the meal delivery service, Freshology, and sticks to 1,200 to 1,400 calories a day.  And like all good celebrities she is sure to eat lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, good fats and lowglycemic carbs.

Gunnar Peterson also trains Kim Kardashian and Penelope Cruz.

It’s been a year since Jennifer Lopez gave birth to her twins Max and Emme, and recently we have seen a lot more of her on the red carpet and at various galas looking fantastic.  What we don’t know is how she lost her post-baby weight.  She admitted to Entertainment Tonight that she gained 40 pounds while pregnant, but how on earth did she get it off?

“It did take a lot of work,” Lopez, 39, admits. “I thought it was gonna drop off easily because I had been in shape my whole life, but it wasn’t. I gained about 50 pounds with my twins, and the first 30 dropped off like that, and I was like, ‘Ha, this is gonna be so easy.’ That last 20 — that took a while.”

For the time being, that’s all we know about Jennifer’s weight loss.  But we do know she’s working on a new movie called, The Back-Up, and she has been taking the kids to the set and being the best mother she can be.

“I bring the babies to work with me. I love it,” she says. “Honestly, one of the best days of my life was the first day back working on this film — I wanted to do this film really badly — and bringing my babies with me that morning. I was like, ‘Oh my God, they’re with me, I’m making a movie, they’re here!’ It’s great having kids on set. It’s the best.”

Jennifer Lopez has been out of the limelight as she has been settling into motherhood now that she and husband Marc Antony have toddler twins running around the house.  However, over the past couple of weeks her face has been popping up again in entertainment news and magazine so one has to wonder if she’s got another big project planned.

As always, she looks flawless and her trainer, Gunnar Peterson told People Magazine that she uses the TRX Suspension Trainer (see photo above) to maintain her famous figure.  This portable fitness equipment weighs less than two pounds, it’s great for traveling and it can be anchored to a door or any other secure point.  Gunnar told People that Jennifer Lopez has,

“done push-ups on them, rows, hamstrings – there’s not a body part that you can’t hit using it,” he continues, “It allows you to work with your body weight depending on the angle and how much you pull on it.”
