Jennifer Aniston Workout secrets

At 42 Jennifer Aniston is in amazing shape. "It's simple," she told the Daily Mirror at the London launch of her new perfume. "I run, workout every day. I do a lot of running - exercise is so important." She added, "Plus it's all about balance. Work, exercise, diet, you need balance".

Sounds simple, but we all know that exercising regularly can be challenging. Let's break down what Jennifer does during the week:

1) Yoga – Jennifer does her yoga workouts with instructor Mady Ingber to help tone her body and relieve stress. She does yoga at least 3 times a week and sometimes up to 2 hours a day! Some of her favorite poses are the Butterfly pose, one arm balance, push ups and the crescent pose. Try to hold each pose for 30 to 60 seconds (about 5 to 10 deep breaths), then follow each move immediately with two sets of 8 to 10 reps of the paired calisthenic.

2) Cardio – Together with Jen’s yoga exercise sessions she also has a cardio routine. Jen alternates between an elliptical trainer and the treadmill. She typically does at least 22 minutes of cardio work outs before getting into her yoga. In Jennifer Aniston’s cardio workouts she does interval training. What this means is she will go fast for about 1 minute and then slow down for maybe 30 secs and then fast again. This gets your heart rate going but helps you burn more fat.


3) Diet- Now the hardest part for most people to getting the Jennifer Aniston look is the diet. Jennifer has been known for a long time to follow the Zone Diet. Unlike the Atkins diet, you can eat carbs but the nutrient breakdown is kind of strict. The Zone Diet one must eat a ratio of 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% body fat. Basically you must eat whole lean proteins, whole foods, and low starchy fruits.

Now this sounds great. The Jennifer Aniston workout routine and diet plan will get anyone in great shape, but let’s be honest, this is her J.O.B. to look great. She has unlimited resources, tons of time and her genetics help out a little bit. For each of us the solution to a fit body will be different: based upon our available time, likes and dislikes and our motivation. But we can learn from successful people. Next week we will look at Jennifer Lopez secrets.
