**Jennifer Aniston’s 15-15-15 Workout Routine**

Since she shot to meteoric fame and success as Rachel Green in the hit sitcom Friends, Jennifer Aniston, and her lifestyle choices, have been the talk of the town.

**The 15-15-15 Workout**

When it came to light that the actress, 55, had been eating Cobb salads on set everyone was out buying lettuce and a new chopping board to jump on the hype. But it is also the workout that sits alongside Jen’s healthy diet that fascinates her fans.

**Simple Yet Effective**

The Murder Mystery star admitted in an interview with InStyle that she follows what has been dubbed the 15-15-15 workout. What sounds like a complicated regime is actually super simple.

**The Routine**

The Marley & Me actress follows a plan that involves 15 minutes on a bike, followed by 15 minutes on a cross trainer, rounded off with 15 minutes on the treadmill.

**Old School Fitness**

“I had an injury last fall and I was only able to do Pilates, which I absolutely love,” Jennifer recalled. “But I was missing that kind of sweat when you just go for it,” she admitted, letting fans in on the 15-15-15 routine she picked up once recovered.

**Benefits of the Cross Trainer**

Using a cross trainer is a way to do steady state cardio. A continuing repetitive movement that works multiple muscle groups will give you all the mental health benefits of more intense conditioning, without risking impact injuries.

**For Women Over 50**

As we age, using a cross trainer is lighter on joints while still feeling like you can get a sweat on. Nancy tells us: “Lower impact cardio is a hugely beneficial way to get your heart rate into a ‘working’ zone, without putting your body through too much stress.”

**Alternative Options**

Fret not if you are not a gym-goer or do not have access to a cross trainer. Nancy reassures that a great alternative is brisk outdoor walking, with some kind of weighted vest, or weighted backpack, to mimic the resistance element of the machine.
