Beneath the “it girl” persona she has embodied for decades, Jennifer Aniston says a previously “burnt out” body lays.
Aniston, 54, says the way she previously attacked her workouts was not only “daunting,” but also debilitating.
“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 told InStyle.
“I believed it for so long. I just burnt out and broke my body.”

Aniston said she has since pivoted to low-impact movement.
The actress said the best part of her new routine is that “After a workout, I don’t feel insane fatigue or broken or in pain.”
“Our minds used to think, we have to hurt; no pain, no gain. It has to be an hour of a workout. You have to work out three times a day.”
“Especially as we get into our lovely older periods, we have to keep it exciting. And we have to be kinder to our bodies,” she explained.
