The Hollywood fitness queen, Tracy Anderson , has landed in Spain. The head of the spectacular bodies of Gwyneth Paltrow , Cameron Diaz and Madonna, among many other stars, has opened its center in Madrid (which joins the ones it already has in New York and Los Angeles), where it puts into practice its method It consists of aerobic movements, yoga and dance, performed in a room at 35 degrees and with 75% humidity.
Tracy made the change of his life after gaining 18 kilos in a year. The effort, the daily routine and the motivation were the bases for this transformation, which also applies to her famous clients and now also to the Spanish ones. From that moment began what is now an empire with DVDs of their method, online classes (www.tracyanderson.com) and even their own energy bars that replace any of the meals to lose weight.
In their centers, the sessions consist of one hour of cardio and another of toning. Each of the movements of their tables are focused on exhausting a particular muscle, achieving a fibrillated silhouette in which the muscles do not acquire excessive volume, so it is not in favor of women training with excessive weight. Tracy makes specific tables according to the needs of each silhouette.
Jennifer Lopez, 49-years-old, is a mother-of-two, actor, dancer, singer, producer, reality show judge, and yet manages to look exactly the same as she did nearly twenty years ago when her noughties hit ‘Jenny From The Block’ released.
You could be forgiven for thinking Lopez was a superhuman or held the secret to defying age but it turns out, it all comes down to the multi-hyphenate’s vigorous fitness, diet and beauty routine. She told People, “I’ve taken care of myself, and now it shows.” There’s no arguing that.
Below, we find out all the details of J.Lo’s routine including what simple act she starts everyday with, how she beats cravings and the three things she always avoids.
Meditation
Lopez begins her everyday routine with a simple and calming act. She starts her morning with a meditation session and affirmations crediting it for her youthful look. She revealed to InStyle US, “I also definitely think beauty comes from within – you have to have keep your mind, soul, body and spirit in sync. I am a firm believer in meditating and when you are happy and feel joy and love, you radiate beauty.”
Sleep
The mega performer always ensures a minimum of eight hours sleep. As told to InStyle US, “The number one tip is to always get enough sleep. I can’t stress this enough. Ideally I would love to get nine or 10 hours of sleep, but either way, I always make sure I get at least eight.”
A Strict Exercise Regimen
Lopez has admitted that her workout routine is “hard work” which involves two personal trainers, intense circuit training, light weights and dancing. When she’s working out with Hollywood’s go-to personal trainer Tracy Anderson she does freestyle dancing five times a week. As told to Hello!, “Dance has always been a huge part of my life and taking the time to move my body and do something that’s so good for me is key to my happiness.”
You’ve seen her in hits like Life Itself, House, and my personal favorite, The O.C. But in addition to acting, Olivia Wilde is a mother of two, an activist, and all-around inspiring woman. Recently, she partnered with Dunkin’ Donuts for an event in New York City where a tiny home was fueled entirely by recycled coffee grounds (80,000 pounds, to be exact). The partnership made sense for Wilde, who is passionate about both coffee and sustainability. At the event, we had the opportunity to speak to the actress and got the scoop on a few other things she loves, too.
When she can’t get to her favorite SoulCycle class in Los Angeles with instructor Angela Manuel-Davis (a motivational speaker who “rocks her world”), a dance class with Tracy Anderson (“it just works”), or a class at New York City’s boutique studio Forward Space (“I think it’s a good exercise, but I also think it’s good for your heart and your brain”), Wilde gets her body moving by stretching.
“I think it really helps my mood, as well as my body,” she tells us. Wilde categorizes her stretching as “bad yoga poses,” and adds that this form of exercise has helped her body heal from various injuries.
“I have gone through periods of different injuries that have led to really debilitating back pain,” she says. “And you realize how much of a benefit stretching is as you get older in avoiding injury. It’s just becoming something that I have embraced. It’s really an emotional kind of wind down…or to get your energy up. I just feel like I spent too much of my life not stretching.”
“I just get regular coffee, drip coffee, with a little mocha sugar—simple,” she says. “Sometimes French vanilla, but only if I’m feeling sassy.”
Wilde also elaborated on the relationship she has with the New England brand. “I went to boarding school in Massachusetts,” she says, “and when I think of surviving boarding school I think of going back and forth to Dunkin’.”
Through an organic (no pun intended) relationship, Wilde has become an ambassador for clean beauty brand True Botanicals. As a beauty editor, I was blown away with her knowledge not only of the brand’s products, but the beauty industry in general, including how products are made and ingredients are sourced.
“I’m, you know, like a die-hard actual fan—it’s not just a gig,” she says. She loves the entire line, but tells us that she “lives for” their Clear Oil ($110; goop.com).
“I try to really be 100% present for whatever the job is at the moment,” Wilde says. “So, if I’m at work, I’m very present at work, I’m very focused, so that when I go home I can put my phone away and be really focused as a parent. I don’t get enough time with them during the week, and so if I have two hours a day with my kids, I just make sure that they are two fully present hours and that I am completely 100% with them and focused on them.”
We know all too well how easy it is to get caught up in the day to day, but Wilde recognizes the need to stay emotionally healthy, and tells us about another way she tries to stay present. “I try to connect with as many strangers in a day as possible, so when I’m sitting on the subway I try to have connections with people,” she says. “It’s really important not to get too enclosed in our own personal spaces.”
While I’m not sure I can confidently say that I’ll be engaging with strangers on the subway any time soon, what Wilde said about being present definitely stood out.
By now you know Tracy Anderson for her superhuman body transformative powers. Her intense method has sculpted some of the best bodies (and, yes, actual superheroes) on the planet. In keeping with her approach to crafting A-list experiences for the rest of us, Anderson has teamed up with Heroine Sport for an ’80s-inspired activewear line. Made in Los Angeles, pieces include hand-painted sweatshirts and performance pants made from a recycled polyblend. tracyanderson.com
It’s hard to work out alone. Even fitness professionals find it hard to self-motivate, which is why you often find yourself sweating next to them in popular group fitness classes. But whether it be a financial, geographical or logistical reason, we can’t always get to a group or private training session.
Fitness gurus like Tracy Anderson, Simone De La Rue and Anna Kaiser have created streaming platforms that are now powerhouses. Joining them is an ever-growing crop of options offering cheaper and often more convenient ways to work out than the traditional gym membership.
Given the sharp increase in competition, most platforms now offer free trials — even the once hyper-exclusive Anderson has a try-for-free option. With so many experts at your fingertips, who wouldn’t jump at the chance to get in a workout without ever having to find parking, trudge through inclement weather or even brush your teeth? After all, half the battle of working out is actually getting to the gym.
Here’s a look at the best streaming platforms to keep you in shape no matter where you are.
18 October 2018Before, LONG before that the Kardashian cambiasen forever the canons of physical beauty , the way how we train and how wedress , was SHE, Jennifer Lopez . The diva of the 2000s was the first to show that having a big ass and showing curves with pride is THE MOST .
Clearly, genetics is on JLo’s part , however, the singer has never been afraid of hard work. Just to see in Instagram the workout routines of his trainer, Tracy Anderson , we know that those buttocks and those firm legs (and those abs at age 49 ) have been achieved on the basis of discipline. Attention because Andersonhas also been a personal coach of Kim Kardashian , Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz .
So, if Tracy Anderson includes a movement (or two) in his famous training sessions to tone buttocks and make cellulite disappear , we will try them tomorrow and repeat them until we get a 100%JLo ass .
This fun and easy movement is THE MOST for the glutes and for working muscles that are rarely exercised. Get on all fours, in quadruped position , and lift one leg towards the folded side (as seen in the video). The first repetitions will seem easy but continue until it starts to hurt . Yes, friend, it has to hurt on the side . Do 3 sets and get as far as you can.
If the first cellulite neutralizing movement is hard but simple , in the second it increases the complexity. In quadruped position again, leave one knee resting on the ground and throw one leg back without lifting too much but leaving it at the height of the hip .
To complete, take the foot of the leg moving forward and sit on the knee of the opposite leg . Repeat these movements 10 times and try to perform 3 series . We warn, you’re going to sweat (but reduce cellulite is well worth it).
Perhaps we will not have the genetics of Jennifer Lopez but the tricks of her trainer and maximum desire to give it all in the # OperationCorpoSerrano.
