14 DAY TRIAL // Jennifer Lopez went vegan for a while earlier this year, which helped her shift an estimated 10 to 15 pounds (4.5-6.8 kg) from her already toned figure. She’s also upped her workout routines and is presumably spending twice the amount of time at the gym than before.
But she has the goods to show for all that hard work – and show them she does.
The other day, Jennifer was photographed leaving a gym in LA and was caught in mid process of pulling a tank top over her sports bra, thus revealing her ripped abs (actually a six-pack) to the flashing cameras of the paparazzi.
A publicity stunt no doubt, but an effective one
Age is often used in Hollywood in the detriment of female artists, be they singers, dancers, or actresses. With a handful of stars, though, it’s used to prove that it has nothing to do with their merits or degree of hotness; that is to say, you can be over 35 or 40 and still be a respected artist and a hottie, to boot.
Jennifer Lopez is one of those few people for whom, especially in showbiz, age truly is but a number. The two photos in the gallery below will confirm that: bear in mind that she’s 45 and has given birth to twins.
No doubt about it, this is just a publicity stunt. Paparazzi photos available online show that Jennifer was photographed when she went into the gym too (and she was fully clothed), so she must have known that photographers were waiting outside for her to finish her workout.
So she took advantage of the situation and stepped out in her sports bra, doing her best oh-I-was-just-pulling-this-tank-top-over-to-cover-myself-I-didn’t-even-know-you-would-be-watching pose. As one does.
But that doesn’t take anything from the fact that she has an amazing body and she’s worked hard to get it, while drawing attention whenever she could over the health benefits of leading a balanced life, which also included regular workouts.
In return, she gets to bask in all this attention, which also helps her promote whatever she’s selling, be it a new music album, a tour, or a new TV gig.
Staying fit, a valuable currency in showbiz
Staying fit or losing weight is a very valuable currency today in showbiz. Because we’re all looking to lead healthier lives or, if not, to lose weight (quickly and effortlessly, most of the times), and because we want our idols to be “just like us,” this new trend picked up speed considerably in recent years.
Any star who loses weight on a specialized program or on their own, or who manages to transform himself or herself through hard work, for whatever reason, is guaranteed a lot of media attention. Jennifer Lopez is the most recent example in this sense
However, what we should take away from this is that this woman is 45 years old and has had twins. She’s also very busy professionally, but still has the drive to stick to what must be a grueling workout routine. What’s stopping us from doing the same? JLo’s new paparazzi photos could very well be motivational posters for whoever is looking to make a change for the better today.
