It’s no secret that Jennifer Aniston has been looking radiant and toned lately, and the Friends icon reportedly amped up her fitness routine when she turned 55 back in February. According to an insider who sat down with Life & Style, the Morning Show actress has started to work out like a professional athlete.

“Instead of just accepting the whole aging process, she wants to fight back hard and the best way to do that is by packing on muscle,” the source explained. Aniston enjoys diversifying her exercise routine with activities such as hiking, walking, and yoga. When it comes to her diet, she focuses on protein and vegetables for her primary meals but allows herself indulgent cheat days on weekends.

The tipster went on, telling the outlet that Aniston is often “up at 3 a.m. to do her first workout of the day, then she’ll have a big breakfast and go back to bed for a few hours before her next workout.” They continued: “She’s doing 1,000 crunches every day, weight training five days a week, cardio, yoga and Pilates. She’s obsessed!”

In an interview with Women's Health in February, Aniston dished that her workouts “vary from week to week, depending on a work schedule.” The Murder Mystery 2 star added: Ideally, I would love four workout days a week, and then a day where it’s more of a major walk or hike,” she told the publication.  

“I can do 20 minutes and get as good of a workout as if I work for an entire hour. We think we have to work out for the solid hour and that can be a bit intimidating. You really can get an efficient workout with just a good 20 minutes if that’s all the time you have, even 10 minutes of doing something that gets your body moving. I just find comfort in that,” the LolaVie mogul shared.

Back in March, Aniston also took to her Instagram to reveal some low-impact workouts, which she is a huge fan of. She was filmed doing mountain climbers, acing single leg raises and squats on a raised platform, and tackling pushups with the finesse of a seasoned pro. She captioned her post, “If you’re having one of THOSE Mondays, I FEEL YOU. Just gotta do it!!”

Her preference is total-body workouts, she's said, and she also adds in yoga and pilates to her routine. “I rarely walk in and think, ‘I’m just going to hit the abs today.’ I really would like to get a full-body workout every time.”

As for her diet, it emphasizes balance, offering a satisfying variety without feeling overly restrictive. Aniston explained to Women's Health that along with her morning cup of coffee, she starts “off with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed in water, room temperature water, which is fantastic for my gut. I’ll usually have lunch around one or two, and it’s usually some form of vegetables and a protein.”    

When she needs an energy boost, she doesn’t shy away from snacks. Her go-to picks often include an apple with almond butter or a satisfying handful of popcorn.

Around dinnertime, she tends to stick with a meal akin to her lunch choice, “Dinner is just same thing, vegetables and protein, in some form that’s interesting and delicious.” On weekends, she typically indulges in her savory cravings, often opting for pizzas and burgers. “I’ll allow myself pizza or a burger or pasta or something extra special,” she revealed.
