Jennifer Lopez Shows Her Strength

Doug Meszler/Splash News Online.

Last month we told you about Jennifer Lopez‘s secrets for getting her pre-baby body back — she’s preparing for a triathlon! And as the date of her competition looms — she’ll be swimming, running and biking her way through Malibu on Sunday, September 14th — the singer/actress, 39, continues to train on a daily basis.

Jennifer’s trainer, Gunnar Peterson, tells People.com that the star was most nervous about the swimming portion of the event — it’s something that doesn’t come naturally to her. At first, "she was swimming laps and touching the sides [of the pool]," he says. "Then we moved into open water. We did baby steps, buildingit up distance-wise and intensity-wise."

Is there some tenet in Scientology that states a new mother must compete in marathons and triathalons? Just wondering because I’m sensing a trend here…

She seems a little more rounded in here!

I think it’s great that Jennifer didn’t become a size 0 shortly after giving birth, like so many celebrities end up doing. I think Jennifer looks GREAT and healthy! Way to go Jennifer

JLo has alays been known for her booty, lol, so I’m not surprised that she still has that. I’m glad that she does look healthy though and not a size 0 like some celebs do post partum. Way to go Jen, and good luck on your triathlon!

Wow she looks so real! I mean, sometimes I can’t believe how quick most celebrities lose their babyweight and it makes me feel so stupid. But I think my body looks a lot like Jen’s right now, I also gave birth around the same time as her.
I love this picture.

My daughter in-law weighs 90 lbs and wears size 2 at 5 feet 5 inches tall. JLo size 0 is probably size 12 here in Canada with a butt like that-no offence.

Jennifer looks great she has always been curvy and healthy. I’m glad she doesn’t obsess over being a size 0 like most celebrities.

Jennifer Lopez still has a killer body! Tiny waistline, flat tummy, without losing her sexy curves.
