Jennifer Aniston has revealed that she’s sustained “many injuries” with her intense workout routine over the years.
The Hollywood star admitted that she burnt herself out by constantly doing punishing high-impact workouts that she said, ultimately “broke her body”.
However, the 54-year-old has now switched up her approach and revealed that she now avoids repetitive exercise such as “the monotony of banging yourself out on a treadmill for 45 minutes”.
The Friends actress, who has just unveiled her collaboration with fitness brand Pvolve, told InStyle: “When you’re in a mindset of, ‘I need to do 45 minutes of cardio or I won’t get a good workout,’ it’s daunting. I believed it for so long.
“I just burnt out and broke my body.”
Aniston then revealed that her physiotherapist gave her a Barbie doll “covered in Kinesio tape” to “show every injury I’ve had in the last 15 years”, which was a turning point for her and how she tackled her fitness.
In a separate fitness interview, the Along Came Poly star revealed how she became “addicted to physical activity” after an agent once branded her “chubby”.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan, she shared: “I had an agent one time mention to me that I was a little roly-poly-not rol, chubby.
“Chubby – anyway, I became way more mindful about not eating, like, egg salad sandwiches and tuna sandwiches and French fries and gravy and all the things I had as a teenager all the time.
She continued: “And then I just got really addicted to physical activity and mindful eating and healthy eating, which is changing every year.
“It’s always evolving; what’s better, what’s good for you, what’s not good for you. And then you’re like, Okay, well, now that’s not good for you? Well, what is good for you? You’re just trying to keep up with the times.”
