Jennifer Lopez met up with Good Morning America's Chris Cuomo in Central Park this morning. She talked about training for a triathlon to take place on September 14 in Malibu in which she will run, bike, and swim to raise money for Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. According to the website for the 2008 Nautica Malibu triathlon, the course consists of "a half-mile ocean swim, an 18 mile out-and-back bike course, and a 4-mile out-and-back run course."
Lopez was recently declared the most inspiring woman by Self Magazine and was there with the magazine's editor Lucy Danzinger, who is is helping her train.
TWINS SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT
Lopez said the twins are doing "great" and "amazing" and that they sleep through the night and that they "go to bed around 9/9:30 and get up around 6:30/7:00."
THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A NANNY STILL
She mentioned they are about to get help with her six month-old twins, and that "We actually just tried somebody out last week when Lucy was there, it was her first day, because I will be going back to work to do a film later in the year, so I'm trying to find somebody We've been doing it [caring for the twins] by ourselves and we love it."
Lopez said she got the idea to do a triathlon when she was 8 months pregnant and saw one on TV. She thought "maybe I could do that this year."
Lopez was encouraged by Self editor Danzinger, who contacted her after she heard she would do a triathlon and told her she could help. Danzinger is a triathlete who has been training for around 4 years.
START SLOW IF YOU'RE TRAINING
Self.com has more about Lopez's triathlon training, and Danzinger said you can train for one if you're already active by just adding things gradually into your workout.
Lopez claimed the swimming was a "killer" and was the hardest part for her. Danzinger added that you can train to swim by just trying it for five minutes at a time, and giving yourself permission to stop.
Lopez said training is fun and challenging but admitted she's scared she might not be able to finish.
Danzinger emphasized the importance of setting goals and said "if you have a goal, you can reach that finish line."
Lopez spends about an hour and a half training a day, works out at home
As for working out and having time for her children, Lopez said that she has a full setup at home with a stationary bike and treadmill and that she does about an hour to an hour and a half a day. Her husband, Marc Anthony, is very supportive, and helped set up her workout room.
Jennifer Lopez usually seems like a self-centered diva to me, but good for her for training for a triathlon and donating the money to charity if that's what she wants to do. I'm kind of surprised that she claims to be such a hands-on mom, although she seemed genuine about it on GMA this morning. You can donate to Lopez's cause through Self.com.
