Insights from Jennifer Aniston's Favorite Workout – Plus, the One Fitness Habit You Should Adopt

Most workouts pick a lane: strength training, cardio, mobility work. You do them separately, if at all. PVOLVE does something different: It integrates all three into every single workout. 

The result is training that builds muscle, maintains freedom of movement, and creates the stability you need for healthy aging. Whether you have 60 minutes or 20 minutes, PVOLVE adapts to your schedule while delivering real results. 

We spoke with PVOLVE’s vice president of training, Dani Coleman, and chief training officer, Antonietta Vicario, about what makes the method different, why functional fitness matters, and how to build strength that translates to everyday life.

Q: What makes PVOLVE different from other workouts? 

A: We offer weight training and sculpt classes built upon our singular method that combines strength, mobility, and stability into every workout. These components are usually trained in isolation — but at PVOLVE, we integrate these key pillars of movement longevity so clients can expect to build strength and muscle, experience freedom of movement through enhanced mobility, and train deep core activation, balance, and control through stability. We have a proprietary line of resistance-based equipment that provides stimulus to your muscles, helping them grow stronger.  

How does the PVOLVE method support healthy aging, mobility, and longevity? 

PVOLVE: Muscle is important for longevity, as it helps maintain bone density, fuels our mitochondria, regulates blood sugar, and supports metabolic and cognitive health. Weight and resistance training need to be the foundation for healthy aging. However, that’s only one piece of the puzzle. Strength without mobility or stability has an expiration date.  

Mobility works our muscles and joints through their full ranges of motion to maintain freedom of movement. Tightness and restrictions limit our movement potential and increase our susceptibility to injury over time. Incorporating mobility helps people not only look but also feel amazing.  

Finally, our pillar of stability helps us develop better reflexes and control that support us throughout life. The ability to balance, move dynamically, and maintain control around our joints is part of the longevity trifecta at PVOLVE. 

For people who may spend hours sitting at a desk, how can functional exercises help reverse those effects? 

PVOLVE: Functional exercises move the body through all planes of motion, called multi-planar movement. A lot of exercise focuses on just moving front to back, like walking, running, and biking. But we live life in 3-D, so movement should mimic this. With functional movements, we add rotation, mobility, and stability exercises to help unlock tightness and create freedom of movement throughout the body.  

When working at a desk, the upper body and posture tend to get stuck in a rounded position. By incorporating thoracic mobility, we can open the area below our neck and above the mid-back, helping correct these postural imbalances. What’s amazing is how quickly we can alleviate the pain and tightness often associated with the head, neck, and shoulders once we start mobilizing the upper spine through PVOLVE’s upper back mobility and strength exercises. 

If someone has only 20 to 30 minutes a few times a week, which foundational movements should they prioritize for overall strength and daily function? 

PVOLVE: The beautiful thing about the PVOLVE method is that we take the guesswork out of your workouts for you, so you don’t have to choose between a quality workout and your time. You can have both. All our workouts are anchored in developing proper biomechanics through three-dimensional, dynamic movements that primarily focus on your hips and glutes. Through these movements, you’ll build better body awareness, improve overall joint stability, increase your body’s efficiency, and build strength that translates to your everyday life. Think sit-to-stand patterns, rotational movements, single-leg stability work, and hinge work. 

What misconceptions do people have about low-impact workouts, and why can they be just as effective as higher-intensity training? 

PVOLVE: A common misconception is that “low impact” means “low intensity.” However, anyone who’s experienced a PVOLVE workout knows that statement is false. Low impact refers to the amount of force placed on your joints and skeletal system. It has nothing to do with how hard your muscles work. While impact is not bad, low-impact workouts can be a more accessible starting point for clients and typically have a quicker recovery window between workouts. [They] can drive high muscular engagement, elevate your heart rate, and build multi-planar strength with less joint wear and tear. It’s not a “lesser” option, just a different and exceptionally effective way to build long-term strength. 

If you could give our guests one fitness habit to incorporate into their daily lives, what would it be? 

PVOLVE: I encourage our clients to ditch that “all or nothing” mindset and embrace “all or something.” Consistency isn’t built on 60-minute workouts alone. It’s built on meeting your body where it is every day. If your schedule is packed, opt for that five-minute P.band movement snack. When you have more time, add in that longer workout on-demand or in-studio. Removing the pressure of the “perfect” workout makes movement a sustainable part of your day, no matter what life throws at you.
