‘I Don’t Believe That’s Her’: Jennifer Aniston Called ‘Totally Different’ after Quitting Damaging Workouts

• Jennifer Aniston's fans don't recognize her after she quit working out too hard.
• She shared that she had hurt her body with rigorous workout regimens but decided to stop.
• Now, she enjoys working out slowly and gently to accommodate her body.

Jennifer Aniston is one of Hollywood's most beloved actresses, with her career effortlessly spanning decades. Many also love her for her stunning good looks and fit physique.

However, Aniston has recently shared that her work-outs were doing her body more harm than good, so she switched up her workout routines to better accommodate her body.

Aniston revealed that she thought she had to do rigorous workouts each day to maintain her dream body but admitted that the thought of those workouts was daunting. She did those types of exercises for many years before she realized:

"I just burnt out and broke my body."

While Aniston doesn't enjoy rigorous workouts like boxing or Crossfit because of how hard they are on her body, she says she still doesn't feel like herself if she doesn't exercise, so she has switched up her routine.

She now does low-impact workouts for a shorter amount of time, with some exercises being just 15 minutes of movement. She was encouraged to do this by her physical therapist, who showed her a Barbie covered in kinesio tape to represent every injury Aniston had sustained over the past couple of years.

She says she no longer feels fatigued or like her body is broken whenever she finishes a workout. She now also prefers to work out with friends and an instructor, as she says she tends to do things differently than she should if she is not being guided.

In her 50s, Aniston says she realized that working out how she used to was not sustainable for her body, and she has switched it out for functional fitness, which prepares your body for daily movement.

The movement practiced in functional fitness easily translates into daily life, like squats which mimic getting out of bed, or lunges, which assist the body in easily climbing a flight of stairs.

While Aniston is finally happy with her routine and how it leaves her body feeling once she has completed a workout, her fans have not been as satisfied with the results after switching to functional training.

Fans Think Aniston Looks Older After Quitting Hard Exercise

Aniston has shared all the benefits she has experienced since beginning functional training. Still, when a photo of her went up on Facebook following her sharing this story, her fans were more critical than supportive of her appearance.

Last week, as Aniston left an LA gym, paparazzi snapped a few photos of her in her workout gear after a class. She wore no makeup and allowed her blonde and caramel hair to move with the breeze.

Aniston wore a pair of blue-tinted sunglasses and carried a red sweater over her arm as she kept her tank top and leggings looking effortlessly chic. However, these photos prompted harsh responses.

Two fans shared that they were 71 and 65, yet Aniston looked older than them, which meant the star, who is 54, looked decades older than her age.

To a similar tune, another fan mentioned that at 77, they looked younger than Aniston did in the photos. They then continued:

"I don't believe that's her; she looks a lot better than that!"

Many fans agreed that Aniston looked much older than she was, with one fan noting that Aniston's appearance was a representation of how celebrities looked without social media filters. Another fan said that while some thought Aniston glowed, they thought she looked tired.

Some fans believed these photos were much different than what fans usually see of Aniston, and another said the actress looked "totally different" from how she looked in all her commercials, even going so far as to say she looked like she was 80.

While some fans thought she looked much older than her age, they admitted she was in excellent shape regarding her fitness. Others shared that they were happy she found a regimen that suited her body and capabilities.

Many fans came to Aniston's defense, saying she looked like many other people in their 50s, and some said they loved how fit and filled with energy Aniston was and hoped to look as good as her when they reached her age.
