Jennifer Aniston talked about her new workout routine. The routine can be performed with simple equipment like bands, gliders, weighted balls and light dumbbells, but it can also be done without them.
Jennifer Aniston revealed that the routine focuses on functional movements.
Jennifer Aniston wishes she had realised sooner that fitness doesn’t have to be extreme. “I don’t have to kill myself to be fit,” she told Women’s Health. Like many, she once thought that spending hours on intense workouts was the only way to stay in shape. “I used to dread working out because there was one trainer who told me, ‘You’ve got to get in at least 45 minutes of cardio daily. Then on top of that, you have to do your strength training and your floor work,’” the FRIENDS alum said in the interview. But she later realised that approach wasn’t necessary. “Turns out, it’s a waste of time to do that,” the 55-year-old actress said.
That shift in mindset came after Jennifer Aniston started Pvolve, a fitness program, in 2021. She joined it officially as a partner in 2023. It changed the way she looked at exercise; her workouts were not just more effective but also something she actually enjoyed. “You don’t have to kill yourself to be in shape. You just have to do the right things,” she said.
Pvolve, short for personal evolution, is a low-impact fitness method that focuses on functional movements. Unlike heavy lifting workouts or high-intensity cardio, it works on strength, mobility and control using resistance-based exercises.
The program includes equipment like bands, gliders, weighted balls and light dumbbells, but the exercises can also be done without them. These equipment-free exercises include mountain climbers, fast feet and knee jogs that help build strength and agility without causing unnecessary strain.
Head Trainer and Director of Training at Pvolve, Dani Coleman, says the program aims at breaking away from the old-school belief that workouts have to be painful to be effective.
“Pvolve is a workout that pairs functional movement with resistance equipment to build strong, mobile bodies. At Pvolve, we are changing the game by challenging those old school notions of ‘no pain, no gain,’” Coleman told New York Post.
Studies also back the effectiveness of this kind of training. New York Post mentioned a study from the University of Exeter, which found that Pvolve helped women over 40 improve their strength, flexibility and energy levels. Another study from the University of Minnesota showed that Pvolve’s Back Strengthening Series reduced lower back pain by 80% in just 12 weeks.
“One thing I’m really proud of in my fitness journey is that I’m still doing it. I just feel strong. I feel stronger than I was in my 20s, that’s for sure,” she said.
This approach to fitness has made all the difference for Jennifer.
