Aniston's exercise approach is actually quite doable. "I had an injury last fall and I was only able to do Pilates, which I absolutely love. But I was missing that kind of sweat when you just go for it," she recently told InStyle. "I'm going back to my 15-15-15, which is a 15-minute spin, elliptical, run. And then just old school: I can chase myself around a gym. I need some kind of movement, even if it's just 10 minutes a day on a trampoline."

If you want to look like Jennifer, you should eat like her. "I don't let eating habits get out of control where I need a reset button," she told Yahoo Food. "My general philosophy is to eat healthy. It's pretty clear: eat as much organic fruits and veggies as you can, keep sugar [intake] low, drink tons and tons of water, and get good sleep." 

During her new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she revealed the ingredients to the shake she enjoys most afternoons. It includes collagen peptides, antioxidants and a few other ingredients, mixed together in her blender. 

Jennifer advises against drinking your calories. "A margarita — clean, no sugar — or a dirty martini," she explained when asked about favorite drink. "I only have two to three drinks, tops, and I don't do exotic. When someone asks, 'Would you like a cranberry-coconut-cucumber-spiced or hibiscus whatever?' No, I would not. But when I moved into my house, a few people got me tequilas of the month as housewarming gifts. I have a cellar of all kinds of spirits — you could come here and probably order anything you wanted to."

Aniston prioritizes hydration, drinking a whopping 100 ounces of water per day. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet Coke—there's nothing like it!"

Aniston, Chief Creative Officer of Vital Proteins, adds Collagen Peptides to her coffee.  "I've always been an advocate for finding wellness from the inside out – and I'm so happy to share the importance of collagen," she revealed. 

"Variety is key," is Jen's philosophy when it comes to exercise. "Mixing it up is always fun because that way you know you're excited, and it's muscle confusion. It keeps your body awake," she told Women's Health. A few of her favorites include cycling, yoga, barre method, Body by Simone and more recently, boxing. "It's the longest workout I've actually stayed with consistently other than yoga," she told InStyle. "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 has serious willpower when it comes to sweets, maintaining she can eat just one chip or candy. "A chip. Crunch, crunch, crunch," she joked to InStyle about her stress-eating food of choice. "Usually. I'm good at that. I can have one M&M, one chip. I know, that's so annoying."

Jennifer surrounds herself with "evolved, positive people," and avoids playing victim, like her late mother. "I also grew up watching someone sit comfortably in victimhood, and I didn't like how it looked. I knew that this person was giving me an example of what I'd never want to be, and I will never ever be that. I think it's toxic, and it erodes your insides and your soul. And listen, is it a sliver of an annoyance to have to publicly go through dark shit in front of the world? Yes, it's an inconvenience, but it's all relative. So, I had a choice to make: Either I'm going to surrender into bonbons and living under my covers or I'm going to go out there and find a creative outlet and thrive, and that's what I did," she told The Hollywood Reporter. 

Aniston hasn't kept quiet about her opinions when it comes to vaccination, admitting she has been very careful since the start of the pandemic. "I'm prone to agoraphobia, and so I used to be like, 'Let's go to dinner,' and now I'm like, 'No, let's not. Come over, come over, come over.' I think I've been to five restaurants [since the pandemic began], and the same ones because they required vaccinations. You know, someone literally called me a 'liberal Vax-hole' the other day. I don't understand the disconnect right now, being bullied for wanting people not to be sick? I mean, that's what we're talking about," she told The Hollywood Reporter.
