Some of his go-to moves include platypus walks, sumo lunges, sidekicks, and plyometric squat jumps. In his training, he enjoys single-leg deadlifts and boxing as well as elements of Pilates.
Jenny and I have a lot of platypus walks, with a broad stance. He also calls it a sumo walking and squat. ‘It’s great for your inner thighs and butt.’
David said that Jennifer is a good fit for his workouts, and that they have been tailored to Jennifer’s lifestyle. However, he noted that Jennifer also has an impressive fitness routine that covers everything she eats, her sleep, and her day.
He explained that Jenny is very meticulous in what she eats, how much sleeps, and about the rest of her life.
‘It’s not just a physical thing – it’s about transforming every aspect of your life.’
According to him, the Hustlers’ star is using a device that measures the quality of your sleeping. This device can be used for overall health and wellness.
“Sleep is the common factor.” David stated that resting and restoring are essential for recovery and wellness.
Jennifer Lopez’s secret sauce: A trainer reveals the secrets of Jennifer Lopez’s fitness routine
- PLATYPUS WALKSThis is: While in the plié squat position, waddle forward with your right foot in front of your left. Do the opposite. You want your hands to be behind your head and your legs parallel to the ground. Your knees should also be straight forward and your weight in your heels.
- SUMO LUNGESThis is: While standing with your legs shoulder-length apart, lift your right leg from the knee and move it in a circular motion. Place your right leg wider than the original position and immediately lower yourself. Now, raise your right foot and kick it up as you come off the squat.
- SIDEKICKSThis is: Start on all fours with your hands underneath your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Your right leg should be straightened 90 degrees. Now, raise your right leg so that it’s parallel to the ground. Next, bend your right knee so that your right leg is parallel to the floor. Then lift your left leg up and kick it out. Then, bend your right knee to 90° and lower your leg.
- PLYOMETRIC SQUAT JOUMPSThis is: While standing with your feet shoulder-length apart, squat down and jump up ‘explosively.’ Once you have landed, lower your body into a squat. You should ensure that your whole foot touches the ground. It is important to control your movements and keep quiet.
- SINGLE LEG DEDLIFTSThis is: Stand with both of your feet under hips. Your left foot should be placed on the wall in front of you. Keep your leg straight. Simultaneously, bend your torso forward until it’s almost parallel to the floor. Your arms should be straight, perpendicular and parallel to the ground. Then, begin pulling your left leg forward while keeping it straight, and lift your torso up until you’re standing again.
David is an American trainer who resides in New York. He has been training for over 35 years. David also enjoys single-leg deadlifts and boxing and includes elements of Pilates into his workouts.
David is an American trainer based in New York. He believes that one of the most essential skills you can have as a trainer, is the ability to listen to and instruct your clients.
‘Whether you’re working with Jennifer Lopez or with someone else, there’s an old Biblical phrase that says, “Look, listen and teach,” which are very powerful words,’ he said.
‘It’s all too easy to put a series of exercises together in a cookie-cutter way. You need to be able to understand your client before you can impress them.
David worked for 35 years as a celebrity trainer and also has training credits with stars such as Kerry Washington and Kate Upton.
According to him, what makes a trainer a great one and a bad one is his ability to “understand intuitively” what each individual requires physically, mentally, and spiritually.
‘That is what is often missing – it’s frustrating that this aspect of training is glossed over,’ he added.
He explained to his clients that there are no two bodies the same and that their ‘lifestyles, diets, and stress’ can have an effect on how they exercise.
Notice the difference. Jennifer, pictured at left in 1999. Her trainer claims that Jennifer’s toned body is due to her intense workouts.
He claimed Jennifer is meticulous about what she eats, how she sleeps, and about all aspects of her life.
Jennifer and David also exercised together. Jennifer was also involved in Just for the Children.
He said, “[The charity’s] work is about striking the balance between healthy tech and mindful movement, and tackling childhood obesity – Jennifer wrote the foreword to my book and she’s a very big proponent of integrating a healthy lifestyle into one’s home.’
Back in July 2019, Jennifer’s other trainer, Dodd Romero, revealed to Oprah Magazine that she tends to train for roughly an hour, four to five times a week, focusing on different body parts each time.
He explained that her typical ab routine consists of 50 hanging ab raises, 50 rope crunches, and 50 incline sit ups with a 45 pound plate.
She then repeated the exercise, this time doing 35 reps. Then she would do it again with 35 reps but this time, with 21. Dodd also stated that she takes no breaks between each set.
As for her legs, he told Us Weekly that she normally does five sets of the following: Supported lunges with dumbbells into weighted rope crunches, single dumbbell sumo squats into hanging leg raises, weighted leg presses into calf raises, seated leg extensions into weighted lying leg curls, and weighted hip thrusts into calf raises.
Jennifer is often praised by her ‘ageless appearance’. She doesn’t appear any older than when she first appeared on the scene in 1975 (pictured right, 1995; and left, 2021).
He explained to his clients that there are no two bodies the same and that their ‘lifestyles, diets, and stress’ can have an effect on how they train.
