Actress Jennifer Aniston is 53 years old – and is training harder than ever, as her personal trainer revealed to a US magazine. The secret: periodization.
From around the age of 30, the musculature of the entire body begins to recede in humans. This process accelerates from the age of 50. Experts therefore recommend regular, targeted muscle building training from the age of 40 at the latest. There’s no need to tell Jennifer Aniston (53) – the actress knows how to keep her body young and fit and the importance of regular exercise. Both in the home gym and with a personal trainer.

In the home gym, she relies on simple exercises and weights
How Jen steels her body in the home gym, she shows on her Instagram channel. With simple exercises like bicycle crunches and squats, she gets her muscles burning. The “Friends” star doesn’t need a lot of equipment: she intensifies her training with kettlebells and some dumbbells, which can be seen in the background. Her dogs, who don’t leave her owner’s side during training, provide the necessary variety in between.

Aniston trains according to the principle of periodization
Jennifer Aniston trains up to ten and a half hours a week to keep her body young. That’s what her personal trailer Leyon Azubuike revealed to the US edition of “Women’s Health“. He also provided details on their training technique: At Aniston, training is carried out in cycles – called periodized training. For example, the 53-year-old starts with 45-minute workouts per week in the first phase; After that, she increases and changes the training – both in scope and in the number of sets or exercises – so much that the monster training weeks mentioned above are due at the end: 7/7 days, one and a half hours each. It helps Jen to be in super shape – and has also proven useful in that it fits in well with the actress’ chaotic schedule. “If I know there’s a shoot coming up, I won’t destroy her legs the day before,” Azubuike told the magazine. In other words: if it fits, you work hard.

“We box, jump rope, do strength training and work a lot with resistance bands,” says Azubuike. He always organizes the training in such a way that it is constantly more difficult and that Jen is constantly challenged.

Aniston doesn’t rely on the same training all the time, but constantly gives her muscles new stimuli to get stronger. As evidence, he cites that Jen is easily able to plank for up to three minutes at a time. A sign of a strong core.

What is special about Mandy Ingber’s yoga practice: She combines classic yoga with cardio elements. In an interview with “Daily Mail“I do 30 minutes of spinning and 40 minutes of yoga with Jennifer Aniston. I include some of my hybrid exercises, i.e. a yoga pose paired with a toning exercise. We did some power yoga, vinyasa flow, and then some yin yoga stretching, finishing with the infrared sauna.” And the extraordinary workout is having an impact, as Jennifer admits: “When I started doing yoga with Mandy, I was noticed many things: My legs became slimmer. My arms got stronger and most importantly, I noticed an inner strength.”
