-Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston is a Wellness Goddess due to her dedication to every aspect of health. Through yoga she embodies both physical and mental wellness, but her diet also follows suit and is one to be emulated. As Sexiest Woman Alive in "Men's Health" magazine and "Fitness" magazine's most wanted body in 2011, she must be doing something right.
Some find it hard to believe that she is achieving such a great looking body without using fad diets and quick fixes. Some newspapers have even said she was eating 14 portions of pureed baby food per day, in order to lose weight. In response Jennifer said "Sorry, but the last time I had baby food; I believe I was 1, I've been on solids for about 40 years now.” Her humor here shows grace and a refusal to be brought down by those too petty to recognize success when they see it.
But I'm sure what you are most interested in is how Jennifer Aniston achieves the body and health that she has. Basically, she works out five or six days a week and makes no excuses. Some use vacation or traveling as a reason to take a break from their workout or diet but Jennifer does not do this even in the busiest of times. She says she brings 8 lb. weights with her where ever she travels in order to leave herself no leeway to avoid working out. Also she always finishes the day with a set of stretching and sit ups.
More specifically Jennifer does Budokon along with her yoga. Budokon means "the way of the spiritual warrior" and is a type of martial art that is very physically demanding and uses aspects from yoga and meditation. This is an all-encompassing work-out which has (1) high intensity cadiovascular workout (2) low impact technique (3) strength workout and (4) meditative technique.
In regards to yoga, Jennifer trains with Mandy Ingber, an expert of yoga.
Some specific moves Jenifer does are pictured below, and I urge you try them.
Crescent Pose Plank
Tree Pose
Try a few of these poses or even the ones posted in the video. Yoga is a great way to achieve both physical and mental wellness.
As far as Jenifer's diet she uses the 40-30-30 regimen. 40% Carbohydrates, 30% Protein and 30% Fat. I do not recommend this for everyone but for someone as active as Jenifer it is great. She also suggests drinking water, and making veggies the star of the meal.
