Shakira's Abs Stole The Show At The Super Bowl

Here's her go-to core workout. - by Lauren Williamson
  • 03 Feb 2020

So apparently there's a pretty important football game on ATM but let's be honest, most of us just tuned in for the epic half-time show. This year Jennifer Lopez and Shakira took the stage at the Super Bowl 2020 half-time show and aside from their phenomenal performances both singers were showing off seriously strong cores. 

Watch J.Lo's jaw dropping pole dance during the Super Bowl below.

The 43-year-old trains with Anna Kaiser who takes a 360-degree approach to sculpting her core. 

“You need multiple types of muscular contractions and angles, as well as tempos,” she says. “If you do the same motions over and over, you’re not going to get the full benefit.”

A previous Instagram post from Kaiser gives us a glimpse into the kind of core workouts the singer-songwriter is used to.

This oblique targeting exercise works her side abs by keeping her back flatter than she would for a normal side crunch and, with her hips twisted to one side, she pulsates up and down with her belly button tucked in and a finger on her abdominals to ensure she’s activating them to the fullest.

Watch the exercise below.

If you think you can follow that act, try her wall sit routine. She’s posted against a wall squeezing a med ball between her legs and holding weights in each hand; the wall sit works the quads and hamstrings, the med ball squeeze lights up the inner thighs, and the isometric 90-degree hold fires up the biceps for a full-body twist on a gym class classic.

If you’re already against a mirror, try the banded wall squat, which adds hip mobility and lowers your chance of injury when it’s time to hit the real squat rack.

Watch Shakira's demo below and set your quads on fire.

Targeting all sides of your torso is a must for developing a serious six-pack, and Shakira demonstrates that with her deceptively difficult ab routine.
