Jennifer Lopez wonder workout


What is it with women criticising other women's bodies? After giving birth to her twins, Emme and Max just five months ago, Jennifer Lopez was snapped pinned into a Oscar Del a Renta dress for a fashion shoot for Elle Magazine (icydk.com/2008/07/14/jennifer-lopez-on-the-set-of-a-fashion-shoot-for-elle-magazine-in-manhattan ) She looks great yet everyone seems to be delighting in the fact that she's not quite lost all of her baby weight yet! (Tell me what you think - should us women give each other a break or have we all become a victim of the Daily Mail fat-cists?)
Still, now that she's given her body time to recover, Jennifer is working out again and we like her style. Rather than just sweating it out in a gym for the sake of the body beautiful, the 39-year old singer has enlisted the help of celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson (check out workoutwith gunar.com for free tips) to train for a triathalon. One of the biggest growing sports for women in the UK, triathlons are a multi-discipline sport consisting of a swim, cycle and run. Brilliant for helping you get into shape quick, you're also less likely to get injuries through overdevelopment of any one muscle group because of the three different disciplines. But don't be put off by the professional sounding 'athleticness' of it. There are triathalon events for novices, right the way through to Ironman competitions involving 13.8km swim, 180K cycle and 42K run. I reckon Jennifer won't be doing that one!
