The Ab Exercises That Got Shakira Her Super Bowl Abs

Shakira and J Lo stole the show with their halftime performance at the 2020 Super Bowl, and among the things we were so impressed by (The dancing! J Lo’s daughter! J Lo flipping around on a freaking pole!) were Shakira’s incredible abs. Before Shakira’s 2018 World Tour, her trainer Anna Kaiser told POPSUGAR that the Colombian singer’s ripped physique comes from a combination of dancing, interval workouts, plenty of cardio, and of course, some key abs and core moves. (Anna told Shape that her healthy diet is essential, too.) Shakira and Anna have only shared snippets of what the star’s workouts looked like while building up to the Super Bowl, and from what we’ve seen, they’re serious business. And clearly, the hard work paid off!

Ahead, check out some of the core moves Shakira relied on to get those Super Bowl abs, plus more that can help you carve a strong core. And since Shakira was just one half of the badass female pair that put on the halftime show, make sure to check out these J Lo-inspired arms, back, and ab exercises too.
