Actor Jennifer Aniston is, at this point, as famous for her dedication to working out as she is for her starring roles in the likes of Friends, The Morning Show and Along Came Polly – and in a new video, the 57-year-old shows that age is irrelevant when it comes to staying in shape.
Revealing the nifty bits of kit that she uses for her home workouts, the PVOLVE ambassador demonstrated how she uses the brand’s ankle weights (joking that if they could talk, they’d say, “I know you usually always skip me, but I promise you’re gonna love me at the end of the hour”) and flagged that the P.Band, a piece of resistance equipment for arm training, is a portable workout that she likes to take on the road with her.
Elsewhere, Jennifer demonstrated how she uses a P.Ball between her thighs to take her glute bridges to the next level and lastly, quipped that all floor gliders (plastic discs you can place underfoot during a plank to test stability, or mix up the level of effort) look “small and cute and weigh nothing”, they’re actually very deceptive.
And lastly! The star showed how she uses a slant board, a wooden fitness tool which challenges your balance and mobility, to stay supple and activate muscles.
The mix of equipment gives a sense of how varied her sessions can be, with small props adding an extra challenge to familiar movements. Ankle weights can make lower-body exercises feel more demanding, while resistance bands bring an upper-body element without taking up much space.
Gliders, meanwhile, can turn a steady plank into a test of control, asking the body to stay stable as the feet move.
Everyone’s clicking on…
It’s a practical reminder that a home workout doesn’t necessarily need a full gym’s worth of machinery: a few compact pieces can be used in a smart way to work several muscle groups.
So basically… she’s just dropped a full-body workout routine for us to try this weekend? Thanks, Jen!
