“I can’t believe I’m the one teaching somebody about this!” Jennifer Aniston tells me excitedly over Zoom. We’ve just chatted about the data-tracking Oura ring, and she’s talking all about her exercise stats—and showing me how to register and interpret the data, too. “Isn’t it such a love-hate relationship with this thing?”
It is. Aniston, who is known for her burnished abs and toned arms, also shares that when she gets a bad “Readiness Score” (aka Oura ring’s calculation of how you’re doing that day), only one thing will make her feel better: a killer workout through Pvolve. “It makes me feel like, even if my sleep has sucked, I can at least make up for it with my activity during the day,” she says. Today, her Readiness Score is clocking in at a phenomenal 90/100.
We’re on Zoom to talk about a divisive topic: exercising while you’re on holiday. Aniston is firmly in camp “do it” but knows “it is the hardest thing to do.” That’s why she’s excited about Pvolve’s new Sculpt Anywhere bundle, which includes five pieces of the actor’s favorite exercise equipment, all packaged up and ready to go. “Whenever I was traveling for movies or anything, I’d always have to find a gym—and sometimes there wasn’t even one at the hotel. It felt impossible to get your workouts in on the go, but these you can do in literally any small space you have.”
Just because she’s so gung-ho about working out on the go doesn’t mean she always likes it, though. In fact, there’s one ultra-toning move she always wants to skip. “Oh, the slant board! Especially with ankle weights, it’s just so hard because it’s challenging your balance and your core. It’s just a beast. Sometimes, I really just get sad when I see the slant board. I have to remind myself that it’s so effective that it’s crazy.”
Another hot topic? Checking a bag vs. carrying-on. “When I go on a trip with my friend Courtney [Cox], she’ll roll up with some little teeny luggage while I can’t make up my mind when I’m packing—I need options! But then, she’ll realize she forgot something, and luckily I have basically packed for two people.” And the better to fit her Pvolve bundle, too.
