Watch Jennifer Aniston Attempt to Do a Core Workout While Her Dogs Interrupt
While Jennifer Aniston mostly limits her Instagram to behind-the-scenes shots from her various projects, Friends nostalgia, and random snaps with famous friends, she occasionally slides a little fitness content into the mix here and there.
Case in point: A new Instagram Story that shows the 52-year-old actress trying to squeeze in an at-home workout while her dogs romp around her, getting in the way. There’s Aniston doing bicycle crunches as her dogs play with a stuffed animal right around her legs (and stepping onto her yoga mat), Aniston trying to grab a kettlebell from between her dog’s legs, and finally, attempting to do squats while her Lab is parked right in front of her. The whole thing is relatable for pet parents who have ever tried to work out with their dogs around.
Of course, The Morning Show star manages to get plenty of workouts in without being interrupted. Her trainer, Leyon Azubuike, previously told Women's Health that his famous client works out up to seven days a week for an hour and a half each time. They tend to follow a training cycle, he said, and "depending on where we are in that cycle dictates the duration and intensity of Jen's workout.”
"If I know Jen isn't filming anything, it's a different phase than if I know she has something coming up tomorrow,” he continued. “If she's going to be walking up to receive an award, I'm not going to destroy her legs in the gym the day before.” Fair.
During those workouts, Aniston will box, jump rope, do strength training, and resistance band work, Azubuike said."We rotate these things so it's always hard, she's consistently being challenged—I'm a big fan of switching things up, so the body reacts in a positive way and changes,” he added.
She’s also big on yoga, and demonstrated some impressive moves in a December Instagram post:
Aniston also previously talked to InStyle about her intense boxing workouts. “I love it," she said. “It's the longest workout I've actually stayed with consistently other than yoga. There's something about the mental aspect of boxing—the drills, your brain has to work, you're not just sitting on a bike. It's amazing.”
Jennifer also said that boxing is “a great way to get aggression out. You get a mental release of all this crap you're taking into your ears and eyes every day and have little fantasy moments imagining who you're punching.”
