For Hollywood icon Jennifer Aniston, fitness once meant 45-minute sessions of intense cardio like running or boxing. After years of high-impact training, her body began asking for a more sustainable approach—movement that felt kinder yet equally effective. That shift led her to Pvolve, a low-impact workout method focused on functional strength training.
Focusing on Strength and Longevity at 56
Now at 56, and guided by her longtime trainer Dani Coleman, Jennifer prioritizes building strength, stability, and long-term health rather than pushing intensity for its own sake.
Why Building Strength Becomes Essential With Age
“Muscle supports our skeleton,” Jennifer explains. “As we get older and naturally lose muscle mass, our bones can become fragile and may lead to osteoporosis. One of the biggest risks for older adults is falling and breaking a bone due to insufficient muscle support. That’s something we want to prevent.”
Wellness That Goes Beyond Exercise
Fitness is only one part of Jennifer’s broader wellness philosophy. In a recent conversation with Women’s Health, she shared the everyday habits that help her feel energized, grounded, and content—including quality time with her two cherished dogs.
Jennifer Aniston’s Healthy Habit Q&A
What’s the first thing you do in the morning?
After letting my dogs, Clyde and Chesterfield, outside to run around, I mix 16 ounces of water with colostrum, hair-growth peptides, and the juice of a whole lemon. I drink that 30 to 45 minutes before having coffee or breakfast.
Who inspired you early in life?
My grandmother. I loved sitting with her in the kitchen while she prepared spanakopita, cookies, and Greek pastries. She had such a wonderful sense of humor and always cared for me with so much love.

What simple moment brings you the most joy?
Nothing compares to curling up on the couch with my dogs, getting comfortable, and watching a great show together.
Your must-have habit for physical longevity?
Maintaining healthy muscle mass is key. I do Pvolve sessions with my trainer, Dani, about three to five times a week, and I occasionally add a Pilates class to keep my routine fresh.
How do you support your mental well-being?
I aim to meditate daily. Some days don’t allow for a full 20 minutes, but I still take 10 minutes—or even a brief pause—to breathe, reset, and calm my mind.
When did you last feel truly accomplished?
I always feel that way after finishing a project. Completing something that demanded real effort and held meaning is deeply rewarding. Most recently, that feeling came after wrapping season four of The Morning Show.
