Jennifer Lopez has once again set Instagram on fire with one of those poses of hers in a bikini in which she shows us that perfect anatomy that she boasts, as emphasized over and over again,
about to turn 53
.
A chiseled body based on marathon gym sessions and a clean diet with the occasional absurd exhibitionism that, far from being inspiring, rather seems puerile.

Whichever way you look at it, JLo is a walking lesson in how to work the body well, putting herself under the orders of qualified professionals who design a tailored plan, it pays off.
His
abdomen
, flat and steel;
his buttocks
, defiant and powerful;
and her
legs
without an iota of fat are the best example of the undoubted aesthetic benefits but, above all, of health that strength training entails for women.
Also, it is the irrefutable proof that
debunks that outdated theory that women should not lift weights
because they stretch out, they get like
Schwarzenegger
and then all of that falls off, becoming fat and flaccid grass.
That JLo has now, at 52, a better body than at 30 is a reality.
Which is because he works hard and a lot, too.
That we love the image of her as
a strong and healthy woman
.
of course.
But from there to trying to contemplate ourselves in it, even if it is saving the insurmountable distances, there is a world.
No, we are neither Jennifer Lopez, nor Cindy Crawford, nor, no matter how many elixirs we drink, we will reach
the gates of the 60s
as the media show that Elle Mcpherson has reached, without menopause having made a dent or in her waist , nor in his mane.
And you also have it pretty rough to show off that twentysomething look that Tom Cruise shows off at 59 tacos in the new installment of 'Top Gun'.

And the problem is not that we don't take care of ourselves as we should, that we don't eat well or that we don't play sports or get enough sleep.
Nor that our genetics are much worse than theirs.
It is that, behind that
appearance of solid eternal youth
that all those stars sell us, there is much more than a healthy lifestyle in which, of course,
periodic medical tests
are included that serve to design food plans, nutritional supplements and treatments. hormones to measure, but also play in a scenario absolutely unattainable for ordinary mortals: the
latest generation beauty treatments
.
Because, as much as we kill ourselves doing planks,
that skin that 'left over' and begins to hang
on the abdomen after pregnancies and weight changes, is not 'reabsorbed' if aesthetic care such as radiofrequency is not used , manual massages, etc.
Just as cellulite
is not going to go away
just by eating clean, exercising or applying a cream.
So, even acknowledging JLo's cannon what works for her, it would not hurt us all to remember that she is not the common mortal and that those inns with whom she "sets the networks on fire", just like those of the recently born women who come out with a flat stomach and without a shadow of dark circles on their luminous faces,
do not represent us
.
Also, there is no more laudable aspiration than growing old strong and healthy, but this dream can turn into a nightmare if we become slaves to
absolutely unattainable standards of beauty and youth.
Let's see if, one day, we manage, among others, to "set the networks on fire" with images of people like us and, if possible, without raining comments about their wrinkles, their extra kilos or their flaccid flesh.
