Jennifer Aniston reveals how working out 'too hard' took its toll on her body
Jennifer Aniston revealed this week that she has many injuries.
The 54-year-old beauty talked to InStyle about how she has beaten her body up over the past 15 years in order to look Hollywood perfect but it has taken a toll on her, Daily Mail reports.
While talking up her new collaboration with fitness brand Pvolve, she said now her mindset around health has shifted.
That means she no longer does exercises that are 'too repetitive' - like being on a StairMaster for hours.
'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,' she shared with the site.
'I believed it for so long. I just burnt out and broke my body.'
Sometimes she just worked out too hard. And a therapist had to point it out.
'My physical therapist gave me a Barbie doll that's covered in Kinesio tape,' she shared.
'It's a silly mental image until you realize the purpose of all that tape is 'to show every injury I've had in the last 15 years.'
How she cultivates the right workout vibe:
'I much prefer working out with friends,' she admitted.
'Doing your own workout by yourself, meh. If you get some good music going you can have fun, but I like to be guided. It's too easy for me to do things less correctly than I should.'
Turns out she jams to hip hop during her sweat session.
'It's hard for me to choose favorites. There are so many! I'm really into Lizzo right now, I love Rihanna, of course, and I love old-school '90s hip-hop.'
The Hollywood it girl started working with the program after hurting her back two years ago.
And she claims Pvolve helps 'strengthen and restore' her body through its on-demand classes.
'As we get into our lovely older periods, we have to keep it exciting. And we have to be kinder to our bodies,' the Friends vet told People this week.
