But on Monday, the former baseball star, 43, took his skills to the next level, filming video of Lopez as she rehearsed a pole-dancing scene for her upcoming movie,Hustlers.
For rehearsal, Lopez wore clear stiletto heels, a black sports bra and matching booty shorts. She watched herself in the mirror as she spun around on the pole and struck a pose.

During a visit toJimmy Kimmel Live!earlier this month, Lopez said she’s training for the film with an instructor from Cirque du Soleil.
“We do have a pole at the house right now,” she said. “It’s a portable pole so you can practice… You can practice with it there. I have a girl who comes in and teaches me.”
“It’s very hard!” Lopez added. “I have bruises everywhere. It’s so hard. I have a lot of respect for people who do the pole. It’s much more difficult than [professional dancing]. It’s, like, acrobatic. It’s different muscle groups and the things they do with their legs, upside down, I’m like, ‘What? I can’t… hold on. Can we do that part again?’ It’s hard!”
It wasn’t her only workout this week in preparation forHustlers.
On her own Instagram story, Lopez shared videos of herself lifting weights in the gym.
“Working on strength training for new movie,” she wrote on one shot.

“He said, ‘You know what, let’s do something, let’s take it [up a notch],’ ”Lopez recalled onEllenwith Ellen DeGeneres. “Because I’ve been working out, I work out a lot, I try to stay healthy. And he’s like, ‘Let’s do something to move the needle a little bit.’ “
She said cutting out sugar was a shock to her system.
“Not only do you get a headache, but you feel like you’re in an alternate reality or universe,” she said. “Like you don’t feel like yourself. You realize that you’re addicted to sugar.”
“What happens is, it takes down the inflammation a little bit,” she said. “So all of a sudden you start feeling really small, and less swollen, and it feels good. You get addicted to that feeling too.”
