LOS ANGELES, April 13: At 56, Jennifer Aniston says she’s the “most in shape” she’s been in a long time — not because of high-intensity training or the latest workout craze, but thanks to a low-impact fitness routine she can do just about anywhere.

The actor, long admired for her wellness routines, has shifted away from the grueling workouts of her younger years and is now embracing movement that supports her body instead of pushing it past its limits. “I just wish I had a workout like this in my 20s and 30s because I wouldn’t have all of the injuries that I have,” she said in an interview with TODAY.com.

Aniston’s current routine centers around Pvolve, a full-body, low-impact fitness method that uses resistance-based equipment and functional movement. On April 10, Aniston and Pvolve launched their new “Sculpt Anywhere” campaign and travel bundle, promoting accessible fitness options for people on the go.

Her favorite routine at the moment? The “sculpt and burn” — a blend of cardio and low-impact strengthening exercises that target power, stability, and heart health. “You can hit every part of your body pretty efficiently,” Aniston explains. The 50-minute workout incorporates gliders, ankle bands, planks, and bodyweight movements — all of which can be modified to suit time, space, and fitness level.

For Aniston, portability is key. “I always bring a travel bag with a few pieces of lightweight equipment,” she says. Whether at home or filming on location, she sticks to her training with help from her Pvolve trainer, Dani Coleman.

The shift to low-impact fitness came after aggravating a lower back injury in 2021 during harness work on a film. Encouraged by a friend, she began resistance training to strengthen the muscles around the injury — a move that helped her recover without having to stop completely.

“I could rehabilitate my injury by strengthening everything around it,” Aniston says. “I personally feel like I’m the strongest and in the most in shape that I’ve ever been.”

She also acknowledges the importance of strength training — not just with bands or bodyweight, but also lifting heavier weights to support her joints and bones as she ages. “It’s important to build our muscles for bone support and joint support, especially as we grow older,” she says.

Gone are the days of “no pain, no gain” for Aniston. “I always thought you have to push your body … and it’s just not the case. You don’t have to break your body or spend hours in the gym,” she says. “Remember, we want this body to carry us through the rest of our lives, through a second and third act — so we need it to be on our side.”

Today, she listens to her body first, adjusts her workouts as needed, and focuses on longevity over intensity. Her advice: “Know your body and let your pain be your guide.”
