Train Like Jennifer Lopez With This 5-Move Workout You Can Do at Home

J.Lo's longtime trainer, David Kirsch, recently shared a five-move workout on Instagram that's meant for those days you're stuck at home (right now, every day). You only need a few tools to get the job done: a weighted medicine ball, kettlebells (or dumbbells), and a box or sturdy footstool—something that you can safely jump onto.

Between the weighted box jumps and decline pushups, it won't take long to work up a sweat. Hey, who knows—with the help of Kirsch, we could emerge from our quarantine cocoons a little bit stronger.
