The Workout Routine That Transformed Jennifer Aniston’s Body

Jennifer Aniston’s body has long been the workout inspiration of women around the world, and her trainer, Mandy Ingber, credits it to yoga.

The 48-year-old has been working with Mandy for over 15 years, and she says she’s seen her physical – and mental – strength completely change during that time

“When I started doing yoga with Mandy, I noticed many things,” Jennifer testifies. “My legs getting leaner. My arms getting stronger, and most importantly, I noticed an inner strength.”

The “yogi to the stars” (including Kate Beckinsale and Jennifer Lawrence) tells the Daily Mail that she’s seen the actor grow into a more grounded, empowered and confident person.

“She loves practising yoga and how she feels when she does it,” Mandy says. “In the beginning her body changed and she felt strong and healthy.  She’s felt like her muscles are getting leaner and stronger.”

So much of my life has already been played out. So many people that I have touched and met. The roads I turned away from and did not travel. The paths I took that others would deem impossible or unfruitful that, for me, were filled with accidental treasures i needed. I feel satisfied with where I have gone; with my accomplishments and also with the unrealized parts of me. Not a mother. Not a wife. Not an employee. Not a member. What defines me? What makes me this woman that I am? Am I largely based on perception? I hide behind your perception of me, thinking that will be enough to satisfy. I can skate by with that. Ultimately, that has failed me. Behind that facade is the real me. The scaffolding is up. I am excavating, under construction. Mining for truth. Uncovering and discovering. Where does one begin (and end)? I tell you the truth today. The truth is: there is more. Much more. A more authentic voice. I fuller feeling and way of love living, giving and receiving. That other girl is gutted. Finding the woman in me. All of these archetypes alive in me. Sorceress. Crone. Dark mother. Priestess. Transformer. Mother. Maiden. Child. Lover. She is all there. Almost all there now. I don't know what comes next, do you? Embracing the mystery. Loving the mystery. Welcoming that. Becoming full with the moon herself tonight and with the depth that brings. No matter how much that scares you (and me) I plunge in, howling, dancing, dying to what was and dipping into the dark to drink the forbidden nectar. All that can happen is that I become more of myself in this death. And rebirth. My desire, my wanting more is the driving force of my life. Insatiable and too polite. My father and my mother blend in me. The sun and moon. Two opposites tonite. #sameasiteverwas Full moon blessings to you tonite. . . . #fullmoon #fullmoonparty #capricorn #capricornfullmoon #astrology #trueself #trueselfie #fearless #fearlessleader #ritual #design your life

Mandy says she would incorporate other exercises into their, often daily, training sessions.

“With Jennifer Aniston, I would do 30 minutes of spinning, 40 minutes of yoga, incorporating some of my hybrid which is a yoga pose paired with a toning exercise,” she told the Daily Mail.  

“We would do some power yoga, vinyasa flow and then some yin yoga stretching, and then finish with the infrared sauna.”

And Mandy says the workout has some incredible benefits.

“People say that yoga is wonderful because it’s about strength, balance and flexibility. Usually the results are a toned flexible body with good posture. Reduced stress levels go a long way for shaping your body.”
