Jennifer Aniston’s Fitness Regime Is A Game-Changer For Menopausal Women
Jennifer Aniston constantly defies the age barrier. A recent insight on her impeccable fitness has been deemed the reason why and it is not surprising given how fit and fabulous she looks all the time.
She is known to follow a fitness routine called Pvolve – an at-home, low-impact resistance exercise programme that is incredibly effective for menopausal women according to a research by the University of Exeter. The study suggests that Pvolve is “effective at improving strength and balance in women during and post-menopause”.
What Is Pvolve?
A pilates-inspired workout, Pvolve exercises include strength training and cardio bursts, which help in improving the body’s overall balance and mobility. This method uses simple techniques of bending, rotating, walking and reaching to small limits gradually increased by the instructor. It significantly works in various parts of the body without putting much pressure on joints that may have become weaker due to age.

According to a report on Telegraph, the at-home exercise became popular during the COVID-19 lockdown phase when people were adapting newer means to stay fit and healthy. The iconic Jennifer Aniston stepped into this fitness programme in 2021, calling it a “game-changer.
The same report claimed that the research, published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, study examined 70 moderately active women in the south-west of England, whether the fitness programme could improve strength, balance, and body composition. The study specifically clarified that the selective women belonged to that group who have not been undergoing the hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Surprisingly, a few women aged between 40 to 60 who followed the programme got better results than those who followed the standard government health advice to do 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week.
The findings saw the exercise had a 19 per cent increase in lower body strength and hip function, a 21 per cent improvement in lower body flexibility, a 10 per cent increase in balance and stability of the body, and a certain amount of increase in lean muscle without increasing the body mass, and shoulder strength in those who followed Pvolve for 12 weeks compared to those who didn’t. Prof Francis Stephens of the University of Exeter Medical School, who led the research, stated, “This ultimately increases the risk of falls and fractures later in life, particularly of the hip, which is why it’s so important to find a way for women to maintain that strength and balance as they get older.”
He continued, “The great thing about these simple resistance exercises is they can easily be performed at home, and we’ve now shown they’re effective at improving strength and balance in women during and post-menopause.
