44-year-old beauty Jennifer Lopez has revealed that she feels in great shape and physical fitness because she makes time to look after herself. 

She confessed that she feels as though she's still in her late 20s, but with more confidence: "I feel like I felt when I was 28. My bones don't hurt. I feel great. I actually feel better, more confident. Of course I still have the nerves, but now I know how to control them."

JLo added that she loves the self-assured state of mind that comes with getting older as it has made her braver: "When I was in my twenties, I wasn't sure of myself. Now I can really stretch. I don't have to stay in the box. At this point I can say to myself, 'So what if I fall, so what?' I'm going to get back up."

She also told InStyle magazine that women can now enjoy full careers after they turn 40 as maturity is being celebrated rather than hidden in the world of celebrity: "The turning point was a couple of years ago when the September issue of women's magazines had cover girls who were all over 40 - Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, me."

"It was hard not to be happy. That says something about our society. People used to believe their life - or at least their life as a performer - was over at 28 or some ungodly age! God, when I think of myself back then, I had no idea who I was. I think I'm barely getting that under control now."
