When the heat arrives, celebrities bring out under the sun the work in the gym and the good habits that during the rest of the year have carved their bodies. And over half a century of life has long ceased to be an excuse to assume the bodily changes that at one time or another come to everyone.

Athletic bodies of public figures have already begun to flood the beaches and social networks with the arrival of heat and prove that hard work in the gym and a healthy lifestyle can work wonders even after 50 years.

It has been demonstrated this week by Ben Affleck (50), who, despite the excesses and deterioration that he has suffered in some periods of his life, continues to take proud selfies in the bathroom mirror as if he were a teenager satisfied with his first abs. The image in question was published, to celebrate his father’s day in the United States, by his wife, Jennifer López (53), another who is also determined to win the battle against age. López years ago she left behind the fine figure that she wore and chose to fill what could hang on her due to age with more and more muscle.

As the singer from the Bronx pointed out, to get a body like this you have to work on it, which is why J.Lo goes to the gym even on Sundays or “when it’s very hot outside.” Weight lifting and exercises aimed at muscle development were something traditionally practiced by men, but she and other celebrities have surprised in recent years with an increasingly toned figure.

“Let nothing stop you. And less the years!” is the mantra repeated by Jesús Vázquez (57). The presenter has starred on the cover of Men’s Health this year and proudly acknowledged: “I start to say: ‘Well, that’s great, I’ve reached 57 without envying those photos from ten years ago'”.

The dj David Guetta (55) chose to improve his body after the divorce from his wife, Cathy Lobé, when he was 47. Then he became a regular at the gym and the before and after results are evident. “I have changed my diet and I have been training for four months, and it is working. I can tell the difference. It is spectacular. So I’m happy, it’s motivating to see results, ”he said then. In the latest images of him on a Miami beach with his young couple, Jessica Ledon (30), the musician does not clash despite the age difference.

Sport is not just a means to achieve a ten body. Belén Rueda (58) recently showed her slenderness on her Instagram, promoting a sun cream. But several years ago, when he turned 50, he assured: “This new decade in my life has more to do with my vision of life emotionally than with a physical issue”, alluding to the benefits of sport, which go beyond having a toned body.

The one who has spent many years exhibiting that age is no excuse for staying in shape is the former president of the government José María Aznar (70). The images stolen by paparazzi of the ex-politician on the beaches of Marbella are almost as typical as those of Ana Obregón. In them she continues to show off abs well into her old age. He always takes his gym bag on trips, and remember that he revealed at age 57 that he did “only 600 sit-ups a day”.

It is not known if due to fitness or genetics, but the one who continues to awaken basic instincts three decades later is Sharon Stone (65). The American does not give up, she wants to continue being a sexual icon, as she boasted of her butt, saying she was “ready for summer” with an image in a swimsuit inside the house.

Another who also does not want to stop wearing a bikini is Lauren Sánchez (53), Jeff Bezos’s fiancée. She has reached for the scalpel on occasion, but it is also evident that she spends hours in the gym. A few weeks ago the couple was photographed in the waters of Mallorca debuting the Amazon magnate’s new superyacht, and since then they have continued to sail the Mediterranean on a constant honeymoon. He just gifted her a $3.5 million ring to seal the deal on her love.
