Jennifer Aniston, 56, Shows Off Abs and Shares Smart Muscle-Building Tips

Jennifer Aniston has been seen in two new photos as she promote Pvolve.

The Friends actress flashed her very strong abs as she wore a black sports bra and matching leggings with her blonde hair down.

The 56-year-old siren from Sherman Oaks, California said she has found a ‘smart’ way to build muscle, which is with the Pvolve system she uses daily in her home gym in Bel Air, California.

‘Strength isn’t just fitness—it’s the ultimate anti-aging secret. And Jennifer Aniston is doubling down,’ the press release shared on Wednesday.

‘With Pvolve, she’s discovered a smart, safe, and powerful way to build muscle, increase load, and support longevity. Now, she’s taking her own evolution in fitness to the next level with the The Longevity Bundle.’

Inspired by her sessions with Pvolve VP of Training and Head Trainer Dani Coleman, Pvolve’s Longevity Bundle is designed to help women boost metabolism, protect bone density, and fight the effects of aging—all while building lean, functional strength.

The bundle includes Jennifer’s favorite Pvolve equipment, featuring the brand-new Body Band, a versatile tool that adds resistance without heavy weights. Use it to target every muscle group for incredible results without the strain of dumbbells or barbells.

To celebrate, Pvolve is launching the Fall Strength Challenge (Oct 29–Nov 12). For every challenge completed, $1 will be donated to Women in Medicine, supporting groundbreaking research in women’s health.

This comes after size two Aniston shared what she eats on her cheat days.

The ex-wife of Brad Pitt told People there are many ‘comfort foods’ in her new book Cooking With Clydeo, which was released on September 9, that she whips up when she has a hankering for something naughty.

Aniston will have ‘pizza nights, burgers or Mexican food,’ she told the outlet.

But the red carpet regular also likes to dine out. ‘I’ll go to my favorite restaurant with some girlfriends, have a martini, and some delicious meal.’

Some of her favorite Los Angeles restaurants are the Japanese eatery Nobu in Malibu and the Mexican joint Casa Vega in Sherman Oaks.

She also told the site what her favorite item in the new book is: Aniston’s ‘personal favorite’ dish is a savory snack called Enchilada Bites.

‘It’s guilt-free, because they’re just little bites. You can stretch it into two bites, but definitely, definitely yummy, yummy, yummy,’ she said of the cheesy recipe.

Cook with Clydeo includes 35 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, most of which come from the perspective of a dog named Clydeo. Next she will come out with Clydeo Versus Peanut Butter later this year and Clydeo Makes a Friend in winter 2026.

Aniston has talked before about her diet.

Last year Jennifer said she loves a ‘cheat day’ and will sip on a dirty martini cocktail when the mood takes her.

The Emmy winner is committed to a healthy and holistic lifestyle and follows a high-protein, low-carb and low-sugar diet.

Aniston will reward herself with cheat days when she wants to enjoy her favorite foods and drinks. 

Her alcoholic tipple of choice is the martini mix, which is made with gin and vermouth and garnished with an olive or a lemon twist.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: ‘Jen’s meals are rich in protein with a healthy amount of carbs, and she also indulges in treats and cheat days. 

‘If she wants to enjoy a dirty martini or tequila, she’ll splurge. It’s no big deal.’

When it comes to relaxing, The Morning Show star practices meditation and makes sure she gets plenty of fresh air with her pet dogs.

The source added: ‘She meditates, and loves hikes with her dogs.’

Jen is said to not be worried about ageing and has no interest in cosmetic procedures and instead wants to focus on being ‘healthy and happy’ as she continues to grow as a woman.

The insider spilled: ‘Jen feels fine about getting older. For her, it’s about being healthy and happy as she can be.’

The star also has an intense daily workout routine does intermittent fasting. Seen in Just Go With It in 2011

Aniston has been able to maintain her incredible shape even as she has settled into her 50s.

In April 2022, the Morning Show actress shared with First For Women magazine how she is able to look so youthful even as she works full time on her acting career and heads up companies like LolaVie Haircare.

The 5ft5in cover girl admitted that she keeps her diet in check by starting her day off with warm lemon water and she also takes climbing classes on her stair climber. But the best part of her day is the time she sets aside to meditate, she said.

In the section titled Curbs Cravings: Breakfast With A Twist, the blonde beauty said: ‘During quarantine I loved cooking.’

The Cake actress added: ‘When I wake up I have warm lemon water, then a shake or avocado and eggs. I found ways to make eggs every which way.’

The ex-wife of Justin Theroux then shared: ‘But I also do oatmeal with an egg white whipped in. Do it right before the oatmeal is finished cooking – it gives extra protein and this fluffy texture that’s delicious.’

In an interview with Radio Times, Aniston revealed that intermittent fasting (IF) has changed her life. She practices a version of IF called the 16:8 diet.

‘I do intermittent fasting, so no food in the morning. I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours.’ 

ANISTON’S FAVORITE RECIPE 

By Heidi Parker

 Jennifer Aniston has a new cookbook, Cook With Clyde.

The collection of recipes is for humans even though they are presented by a fictional dog named Clydeo.

And the offerings are far from diet-friendly as she covers pizza, lasagna and Mexican dishes. But the cookbook is meant ‘for kids,’ it is pointed out on the cover.

One of the top recipes the 56-year-old Friends shares was for the yummy Mexican meal enchiladas.

And the ingredients are packed with calories, which is surprising considering the beauty is an impressive size two.

The snacks are made in a muffin pan so they can be bite size, and maybe that is how the Hollywood stalwart – who is a size two – wins because the portions are small.

‘The recipes are simple but delicious, and my hope is that families will enjoy trying these new dishes and have fun while doing it. Bon appetit!’ Aniston told People.

Amazon said: ‘From breakfast through dessert, young chefs will learn how to make yummy, crowd-pleasing dishes, including Jennifer Aniston’s Easy Enchilada Bites, Clydeo’s Legendary Lasagna, and more!

‘With easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, helpful kitchen-safety tips, funny sidebars from Clydeo on how to add even more pizzazz to a meal, and stories of mishap and triumph from Jen’s kitchen, this book will empower any kid to grab an apron and take a bite out of life, just like Clydeo!’

The directions for the mini enchilada bites, according to People, are to preheat oven to 350°F. Place tortillas on a cutting board. Using a 3-inch circular cookie cutter, cut out 24 tortilla rounds. 

Then Aniston asks to brush 1 side of each tortilla round with oil. Push tortilla rounds into muffin wells, oiled side down, to make little cups.

Next, stir together Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese in a small bowl.

Then spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the enchilada sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons diced onion, and 2 teaspoons cheese mixture into each tortilla cup.

One has to bake Enchilada Bites in preheated oven until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy and golden on bottoms, 20 to 25 minutes.

Then one must remove Enchilada Bites from oven, and transfer to a platter. Sprinkle crumbled Cotija cheese on top. Serve right away with guacamole.

ANISTON’S ENCHILADA BITES

6 (8-in.) flour tortillas

1 Tbsp. avocado oil or other neutral cooking oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil)

2 oz. Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cup)

2 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cup)

¾ cup enchilada sauce

½ medium-size yellow onion, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)

2 oz. Cotija cheese, crumbled or grated (about 1/2 cup)

Store-bought guacamole

The snacks serve 12 people, though if each person has two, that would be six people, obviously.

It takes a total of 35 minutes to make these cheesy wonders.

Aniston released her debut children’s book, Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life, with illustrations by Bruno Jacob, in October 2024.

It was the first in a four-book deal between the actress, HarperCollins and Invisible Universe.

Per HarperCollins, the children’s cookbook will be followed by Clydeo Versus Peanut Butter later this year and Clydeo Makes a Friend in winter 2026.

This comes after the Los Angeles native discussed what medical procedures she has done.

The actress, who is known for her age-defying looks and toned frame, opened up about her beauty regime in the latest edition of Glamour.

Aniston was not alone in the interview as she was joined by her Morning Show costars Reese Witherspoon, Marion Cotillard, Karen Pittman and Nicole Beharie.
