15-15.15 method
"If I'm being honest, my first thought is spending 15 straight minutes on the bike, elliptical, and treadmill sounds pretty boring, but it works for me and it can't be that bad, right?" the actress said.
Aniston uses the strategy of breaking up the cardio session, something that makes it more dynamic than doing 45 minutes on a single machine.
The actress confessed her weakness for disciplines such as Pilates and yoga, which she practices constantly.
However, a few years ago an ankle injury kept her away from these activities.
When she recovered from the injury, Aniston added a new routine to her workout to increase cardio exercise, the

What is the advantage of Jennifer Aniston training
Chelsea Labadini, an American physical therapist and fitness trainer, explained that the advantage of Aniston's 15-15-15 method, compared to other forms of cardio, is that the three blocks can make it much more attractive than limiting yourself to one machine for 45 minutes.
"Changing the team can make training much more interesting," explained Labadini.
He added: "
There is nothing magical about combining these machines or specific times
, but it is good if you want to do a considerable amount of cardio without getting bored."
Another important fact is to know if, at 54, the age of the actress could have been what led her to face this type of exercise.
As it turns out, Labadini is betting yes, since the 15-15-15 method has many benefits for people Aniston's age.
Jennifer Aniston achieved a new level of her training.
"In general, I think women this age prefer low-impact workouts, and this workout is low-impact for the first 30 minutes," the trainer explained.
Also, according to Britain's National Health Service,
the average age of onset of menopause in the UK is 51, and Labadini adds that the running part of Jen's 15-15-15 method could be useful for increase bone density
, which decreases with menopause.
"Running involves weight bearing, and weight-bearing activity increases bone density by promoting the activity of osteoblasts, the cells necessary for new bone growth," Labadini explained.
Who can't do Jennifer Aniston's workout
Labadini says it's best to avoid this type of exercise as the foundation of your regular routine if you're "trying to build muscle."
Instead, he recommends "lifting weights," but notes that "
the 15-15-15 workout can be modified depending on what you want to accomplish with it."
"If you want some low-impact cardio, for example, stop running and get on the bike and elliptical, or trade the run for a walk..." said the trainer.
Something that the actress does and is doing very well.
