"Doctor-approved longevity workout." That's how Pvolve defines itself, the method that has found in the sculptural Jennifer Aniston its most devoted follower and universal inspiring muse. Designed by women for an essentially female (and mature) audience, according to its creators, Pvolve's main mission is to 'educate' women on the importance of resistance training to build a strong body and mind at every stage of life.
Amenable and super effective, the Pvolve method is focused on functional training. What does this mean? It aims to sculpt a strong, healthy, and efficient body to face all the tasks that we theoretically have to deal with in our daily lives: bending, lifting weight, climbing stairs, sprinting to catch the bus... An objective achieved through exercises developed to work the three planes of the human body: sagittal (flexion and extension), frontal (abduction and adduction, for example, opening and closing arms or legs laterally), and transverse or horizontal (rotations).
The movement pattern worked on is meticulously designed to activate deep muscles, improve mobility and balance, enhance strength, and promote natural body alignment. All of this makes this system a true fountain of youth that Jennifer Aniston has become addicted to. "Physical activity has always been very important to me, and as science confirms, strength training is essential to keep us healthy and active as we age. After training with Pvolve for almost four years, I have learned that we can do a lot to counteract the natural changes our bodies experience with age, because with this method, we can become stronger than ever," the actress has stated.
But beyond the physical and mental benefits attested by its followers, the best thing about this new method - whose sessions are held in person and also online - is how fun its practice is, both due to the repertoire of exercises and the equipment used to carry them out. Bands, ankle weights, sliding discs, and dumbbells are the stars of a complete set of equipment (available for purchase on the Pvolve website) for training and 'playing' at any time of the day to achieve quick muscle activation, just like Jennifer Aniston does while making coffee or cooking or before attending an event.
Training in a fun way, with basic equipment, anywhere (even in the office) and at any time. The plan couldn't be more enticing. The question is: where can we find all of Aniston's 'toys' if we don't have access to the Pvolve platform? Well, the solution is much simpler (and even cheaper) than we might imagine, because at Decathlon, for example, we can find bands with handles (with different resistance levels, from the lowest to the most advanced), ankle weights, sliding discs, pilates ring, massage kit, and dumbbells. The key, however, lies in knowing how to use them correctly to make the most of all their benefits and, above all, avoid injury, a mission in which there is no better ally than a qualified fitness and sports professional. So, everyone, let's train. No excuses!
