Jennifer Lopez has been our body goals for a while now. The Puerto Rican actress broke the mold for Hollywood stars and turned curves into something everybody wanted. It's been more than 20 years since we first met her and J.Lo is still inspiring all of us to be our best selves in mind, body and spirit–but especially, our bodies. She somehow always manages to look so good!
When Jen first started out she was slim, with a small waist, round hips and a big booty and we all loved that about her. She still hasn't lost her curves over the years but now she's more in shape, muscular and stronger than ever! At 49, the singer has kicked up her workout routine up a notch and it totally shows.

The World of Dance judge is nearing the end of her Las Vegas residency, All I Have, and she shared an impressive photo of herself to show how far she has come. She revealed that she had some doubts before the show started years ago, but it was a promise to herself that kept her going.
"Feeling like superwoman after the show tonight! When I started this run I thought omg 15 shows in 27 days that's a lot. But I made a promise to myself that instead of letting it wear me down I would be even stronger at the end of it…I will work out and be in the best shape of my life," she captioned the Instagram snap. "There were moments I was tired and there was travel and I had to fit in my workouts where I could… but here we are with only 3 shows left!! And I am having so many emotions but mostly just feeling strong, happy and grateful!!!"
Her drive, passion and motivation has inspired so many women to fight hard for their dreams and to be their best selves–and she will continue to do so. The hard work she puts in at the gym and in every area of her life is so uplifting, so take a look at some of JLo most stunning pics of her toned and muscular body through the years.
Jen showed off her guns in this pic.
While most people wouldn't pay any attention to how a woman's arms look, I find that it's sometimes the most beautiful aspect of someone's physique. It takes knowing how HARD you have to work to attain these type of muscles to truly appreciate how incredible Jen looks. It makes me want to do an extra set of pushups during my next gym session.
This photo caused quite the reaction from her followers.
Obviously, her booty will take center focus in this pic, but look how incredibly chiseled her shoulders are! She's ready for off-the-shoulder necklines year round.
Her biceps are incredibly impressive.
Your arms won't look like that by using just five-pound weights, that's for sure.
Her lower body is also out of this world.
J.Lo has managed to maintain her curvy frame while staying toned everywhere else, and that's no easy feat. Her calves are ridiculous.
Being thin is a goal for a lot of people, but looking this strong seems a lot more appealing.
Every part of her body looks so strong and I love that about her!
There's also nothing prettier than a woman with a beautiful back.
J.Lo sure loves her backless dresses so it's imperative that she does some pull down exercises at the gym to keep her back in tip-top shape!
The work she puts in at the gym speaks for itself.
She's casually sitting there but her arms look fantastic! You know the gym gains are real when you don't need to flex for them to show.
Jen's sculpted upper body took center stage during her Vegas shows.
Every time Jen lifted her microphone up to sing, lucky concertgoers got a glimpse of her massive biceps.
J.Lo showed off her fit frame for her 49th birthday.
Jen showed off how fit her thighs, her arms, her shoulders and her abs are, and reminded us that age means nothing if you take care of yourself.
Her barely-there dresses show off her best curves.
One of the best aspects of her figure is how proportionate everything is.
She rocked her six pack during the "Dinero" video.
The indents in between her muscles are so deep it's almost mesmerizing to look at.
J.Lo's legs don't get enough credit.
She for sure has runners' legs but all the dancing through the years has kept hers looking toned but still shapely.
Is J.Lo immune to cellulite?
Probably not but I'm sure all that dancing around she does sure keeps the cellulite away.
I remember clearly when Jennifer posted this picture on her birthday in 2017.
I ran an extra mile that day.
This other photo from the same birthday is also UNREAL.
Just look at how deep that oblique is! It's clear our girl doesn't mess around with her workouts.
Her inner thighs are so defined it's insane.
Again, her legs definitely need more shine than they get.
J.Lo showed up at the 2017 Latin Billboards with a sheer black dress.
The gown left little to the imagination but revealed just how sculpted her entire body is, from her head down to her pinky toe.
Her legs are to die for.
Every woman knows that crossing your legs like this will create an illusion of cellulite even if there is none there. But that's not the case for J.Lo. Her legs still look as smooth as silk in this pic.
The promo pic for the "Booty" video left us in awe.
This is in no particular way meant to throw shade at Iggy Azalea but Jen, who is around 20 years older that the rapper, looked absolutely perfect in this video and kept the crown as the queen of the booties.
Remember a few years ago we thought she couldn't possibly look better?
J.Lo celebrated her birthday in 2015 at 1Oak in New York and looked INCREDIBLE, but she's been outdoing herself ever since.
She's always loved to show off her toned abs.
Here she was performing at the VMAs wearing a teenie tiny top that left her entire midsection exposed.
Jen is proof that just cardio won't give you the results you want at the gym.
While being a dancer and runner her whole life has helped her with muscle memory, Jen has figured out a way to keep her body toned while still maintaining the curves that made her famous.
