It involves spin-yoga classes, dreaming of Mexican food, and, yes, a rest day.
It’s an especially good day to be Jennifer Aniston. The Friends star was just crowned 2016’s World’s Most Beautiful Woman by People, and she looks stunning on the cover of the mag’s special issue. Recently, the star’s shared how she keeps her skin looking flawless and her healthy diet. But we haven’t had a glimpse into her workout routine—until now.
In her People cover story, Aniston reveals that she’s not always excited about a sweat session.
“Of course I [get bored]. It’s when I take breaks and then I get back into it, that’s when it’s hard. But once I’m back into it, I love it and I crave it.”
Her typical fitness week sounds pretty well-balanced: She goes to a spin-yoga class—which is 30 minutes of spinning and 30 minutes of yoga—three times a week. Then, she does weight training at home another three days a week. Sometimes, she’ll spice it up by doing cardio at home, too. She calls her home cardio session a “trifecta.”
“I usually do a trifecta. Fifteen minutes on the bike, 15 on the treadmill running and then 15 on the elliptical. You have to shake it up, you know, muscle confusion.”
Contrary to rumors that she works out twice a day, she says she hits the gym once daily for around an hour. She usually takes Sundays off, too. A girl after our own heart! And, her motivation on days when working out seems like the worst is pretty incredible.
“Bite the bullet. Just bite the bullet and do it. Think of a wonderful pasta or Mexican meal that you want to have on the weekend and dangle that in front of you like a little carrot.”
We know she loves her hubby Justin Theroux’s pasta carbonara—maybe that’s what she pictures during an intense spin-yoga sesh. Thanks for the insights, ya beautiful lady!
