Jennifer Lopez showed off her unbelievably toned figure and flawless complexion as she stripped down to pose in her underwear as part of anew ad for luxury Italian lingerie brand Intimissimi.

At age 53, the actress and singer is certainly not afraid to flaunt her taut abs and has left many wondering how she has achieved herincredibly youthful looks.

It turns out that the mother-of-two sticks to a rigorous diet, 'intense' workout routine, and fiercely strict sleep schedule to keep her body in tip-top shape.

Jennifer once revealed that she eats roughly 1,400 calories a day, which sometimes leaves her 'starving' between meals.But she said she combats her 'cravings' by trying to focus on foods that are high in protein.

The Jenny From the Block songstress follows a meticulous, 'very well thought out' meal plan - andmakes sure to only eat 'clean, organic, and unprocessed' foods, while restricting herself from all caffeine and alcohol.

Jennifer - who once stated that'working out is the key to her happiness' - also makes sure to hit the gym four to five times a week.

Her'very, very, very intense' training sessions includea tailored mix of different fitness techniques that focus oncardio, plyometrics, full body, core, and lower body.

In addition to staying active and eating healthy, Jennifer also takes care of her body by ensuring she gets seven to nine hours of sleep per night and sticking to a carefully-thought-out skincare routine which involves her avoiding sun exposure and washing her face after every gym session.

As Jennifer puts her impressive physique on display for the new Intimissimi campaign, FEMAIL has revealed how the 53-year-old has defied the aging process.

From her diligent diet and go-to dishes to her 'high energy' exercises and cardio sessions, here's the secret to how JLo keeps her incredibly enviable body in shape.

Jennifer's rigorous diet: The actress focuses on 'clean' and 'unprocessed' foods that are high in protein

Over the years, Jennifer has shared numerous glimpses into her rigorous diet, and it seems as though she focuses on 'clean' foods that are high in protein, which help 'fuel' her body and 'keep her full longer.'

'I have her eating very clean because she needs really good fuel for all the things that she's doing,' one of her former trainers, Tracy Anderson, revealed toPeople in 2016.

'It's all organic and it's all very well thought out, with the balance of very high-quality proteins and a lot of nutrient-dense food. Everything is fresh.There's nothing processed.'

Back in 2018, Jennifer documented everything that she ate in one day for Peoplemagazine - and all of her meals totaled 1,392 calories.

At the time, she revealed that she had started her day off with a 90-calorie berry shake.

The smoothie was made fromstrawberries, blueberries, raspberries, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, honey, and lemon juice - as well as some Body Lab protein powder.

For lunch, she had a kale salad with pumpkin seeds, crumbled queso, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, shallots, and sea salt.

Breakfast - BodyLab TastyShake Berry Berry Good smoothie

Lunch - Kale salad with queso

Snack - one medium-size apple

Dinner - one boneless, skinless grilled chicken breast

Dessert - Chocolate chip cookie

In between lunch and dinner, she told the outlet that she liked to munch on 'healthy snacks like fruit and vegetables' - and that her go-to snack was broccoli, peppers, and zucchini with a drizzle of vinaigrette.

As for what she had for dinner, the actress ate one boneless, skinless grilled chicken breast with brusselssprouts and baked yams with sea salt.

At the time, she said she allowed herself to have one chocolate chip cookie for dessert, explaining, 'I don't deprive myself, but I've also learned the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.'

She added in a separate interview: 'We're all human. I don't think you should beat yourself up if you make a mistake or if you have a potato chip.

'Everyone wants a cookie or a piece of cake or fried chicken every once in while.'

While chatting about her eating habits further with Us Weekly in 2018, Jennifer explained that she likes to start with a light meal, which means she's usually 'starving' by lunchtime.

She also told the outlet that she prefers to have some type of protein - like pork, salmon, or chicken - with quinoa for dinner.

'It feels like rice and beans, which I grew up with,' she explained. '[I like the meat cooked] Puerto Rican style.'

In 2019, another one of her former trainers,Dodd Romero, shared some of her other favorite dishes to Us Weekly.

He said she tries to avoid all processed foods, and enjoys things like egg whites, white meat turkey, and grass-fed beef.

While Jennifer's high-protein and vegetable-heavy diet has seemed consistent for years now, she has tried out a few other things in the past.

She once gave veganism a go - and she and her ex-husband, Alex Rodriguez, decided to embark on a 10-day 'no carbs or sugar' challenge in 2019.

At the time, she said it 'taught her a lot about what sugar does to the body,' but admitted that she likely would not do it again.

In addition to being very strict about the food she puts in her body, Jennifer is also adamant about what she drinks.

She doesn't have any caffeine or alcohol, and she always makes sure to consume a minimum of seven glasses of water a day.

Her 'very intense' workout routine: Jennifer once said that staying active is her 'key to happiness'

In addition to dieting, Jennifer is fiercely passionate about staying active, with her telling Hello! magazine in 2016: 'Working out is the key to my happiness.'

But what does she actually do when she's in the gym?

Back in 2021, Jennifer's trainerDavid Kirschrevealed the exact regimen that she follows to keep her body in amazing shape while speaking toVogue magazine.

He praised thesinger's 'focus and high energy' throughout her 'very, very, very intense' workouts.

According to David, the secret to the mother-of-two's stunning physique is a carefully-tailored mix of different fitness techniques.

'We mix some cardio, plyometrics, full body, core, and lower body into her workouts - they are very, very intense and she takes it very seriously, which is exciting for someone like me,' he explained.

'You say, "Were going to do this," and she's like, "Great!" Her workouts are fast paced. She's very focused and high energy.'

Some of his go-to moves include platypus walks, sumo lunges, sidekicks, and plyometric squat jumps. He also likes to use single leg deadlifts, boxing, and elements of Pilates in his workouts.

'Jennifer and I do a lot of platypus walks with a wide stance. Also known as a sumo walking squat,' he told the outlet. 'Its great for your inner thighs and butt.'

In a previous interview, David explained that Jennifer likes to focus on workouts that 'shape and tone the curves that God blessed her with.'

SUMO LUNGES:While standing with your legs shoulder-length apart, lift your right leg from the knee and move it in a circular motion. Then, place it wider than you started and immediately squat down. As you come out of the squat, lift your right leg and kick it out.

SIDEKICKS:Start on all fours with your hands underneath your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Keeping your knee bent 90 degrees, lift your right leg until it is parallel to the floor. Then, straighten your right knee and kick your leg out to the side. Bend the right knee back to 90 degrees, and then lower the leg.

PLYOMETRIC SQUAT JUMPS:While standing with your feet shoulder-length apart, squat down and jump up 'explosively.' When you land, lower your body back into the squat position. Make sure you land with your entire foot on the ground and try to land as quietly as possible, which requires control.

SINGLE LEG DEADLIFTS:Stand with both of your feet under hips. Place your left foot on the wall behind you, while keeping your leg straight. Simultaneously, bend your torso forward until its almost parallel to the floor. Keep your arms straight and perpendicular to the floor. Then, begin pulling your left leg forward while keeping it straight, and lift your torso up until youre standing again.

PLATYPUS WALKS:While in the pli squat position, waddle forward with your right foot in front of your left. Then, do the reverse. During the movement, you want to make sure your hands are behind your head, your thighs are parallel to the ground, your knees are straight and forward, and your weight is in your heels.

'We do a lot of circuit training and a lot of compound movements, like crossover lunges and single-leg squats. We do a lot of burpees. We also do a little bit of kickboxing,' he added.

Jennifer has worked with a series of different trainers over the years. She once explained to Us Weekly, 'I like the balance that the [different trainers] give me. They have totally different approaches. I like switching it up with my body.'

Dodd explained to Oprah magazine in 2019 that when she worked with him, her typical ab routine consists of 50 hanging ab raises, 50 rope crunches, and 50 incline sit ups with a 45 pound plate.

She would then repeat that but with 35 reps instead. And then again, but with 21. And Dodd said that she doesn't take breaks between each set.

As for her legs, he told Us Weekly that she normally does five sets of the following: Supported lunges with dumbbells into weighted rope crunches, single dumbbell sumo squats into hanging leg raises, weighted leg presses into calf raises, seated leg extensions into weighted lying leg curls, and weighted hip thrusts into calf raises.

He said at the time that she tends to train for roughly an hour, four to five times a week, focusing on different body parts each time.

Putting herself first: The actress is very passionate about self-care and takes her sleep schedule and skincare routine very seriously

Jennifer makes sure to take care of her body in other ways, and she feels very strongly about the importance of self-care.

She previously described sleep as her main 'weapon' in her fight against ageing.

'I love a good nine or 10 hours, but I can never get that. So seven or eight is mandatory,' she one said.

'[If I don't get it] I just don't feel right. I start feeling crazy, I get emotional and I feel tired all the time.'

In an email recently sent out to her fanbase, Jennifer spoke about the importance of getting enough rest even further, explaining, 'I've found that sleep to me is the most underrated beauty secret out there.

'There was a time in my life where I used to sleep three to five hours a night. I'd be on set all day and in the studio all night and doing junkets and filming videos on the weekends.

'I was in my late 20s and I thought I was invincible. Until one day, I was sitting in a trailer, and all the work and the stress it brought with it, coupled with not enough sleep to recuperate mentally, caught up with me.

'I went from feeling totally normal, to thinking about what I needed to do that day and all of a sudden I felt as if I couldn't move... I was completely frozen.

'I found myself feeling physically paralyzed, I couldn't see clearly and then the physical symptoms I was having started to scare me and the fear compounded itself.

'I had made my work such an all-consuming priority and let my own self-care needs go completely (even as simple as sleeping or taking ten minutes to just relax).

'Now I know it was a classic panic attack brought on by exhaustion, but I had never even heard the term at the time.

'My security guard on set came in and picked me up and drove me to the doctor. By the time I got there, I could at least speak again and I was so terrified I thought I was losing my mind.

'I asked the doctor if I was going crazy. He said, "No, you're not crazy. You need sleep... get seven to nine hours of sleep per night, don't drink caffeine, and make sure you get your workouts in if you're going to do this much work."

'I realized how serious the consequences could be of ignoring what my body and mind needed to be healthy - and that's where my journey to wellness began.'

Jennifer branded changing her sleep schedule as 'a game changer,' explaining that she thinks of sleep like a 'little time machine.'

'You lay down and you go into a space where you preserve yourself and then you come out a new, younger person than you were before,' she continued.

'Sometimes I wake up and say, "Wow, I just lost 10 years off my face!" That's what a good night's sleep can do for you, and it accumulates over time.

'For better or for worse, the pandemic slowed us all down, and it definitely slowed me down and made me realize that all we have control of is ourselves. So get your sleep.'

The songstress also makes sure to keep her skin in the upmost condition - by following a strict skincare routine and avoiding sun exposure.

'I never go to bed without taking my makeup off, [and I use] night creams to keep my skin hydrated,' she once revealed.

'I always, always wash my face after a workout.

'That helps keep my pores clean and my skin feeling healthy.

'Then I'll usually put on moisturizer and sunscreen, with maybe a little make-up if I'm going out or moisturizer and eye cream if it's the evening.

'I'm rarely in the sun, but if I am, I wear a lot of sunscreen.

'I've never been one to take a lot of sun, which is why my skin has maintained itself.

'And I don't drink or smoke or have caffeine. That really wrecks your skin as you get older.'
