Jennifer Aniston has revealed she revels in a “cheat day” on which the she knocks back a dirty martini during a regular regime to keep fit and healthy.
The former Friends actress, 54, is committed to a healthy and holistic lifestyle and follows a high-protein, low-carb and low-sugar diet, combining it with a workout regime in which she also attends 10 to 20-minute Pvolve classes.
However, the 5ft 5in Hollywood star rewards herself with days when she can enjoy her favourite food and drinks, including a martini mix made with gin and vermouth and even something a little different.

When it comes to relaxing, The Morning Show star practices meditation and makes sure she gets lots of fresh air while walking with her pet dogs.
Pvolve is a workout method that combines low-impact fitness techniques using resistance-based gym equipment, with the source saying: “Jen feels fine about getting older. For her, it’s about being healthy and happy as she can be.’
Jennifer told British Vogue that she hates compliments such as “you look good for your age”, saying: “It drives me bananas. I can’t stand it.
“That’s a habit of society that we have these markers like, ‘Well you’re at that stage, so for your age…’ I don’t even understand what it means.
“I’m in better shape than I was in my 20s. I feel better in my mind, body, and spirit. It’s all 100% better.”

The Emmy nominee told InStyle about how she had gone over the top during the past 15 years to look right for her Hollywood role, working out for 45 minutes at a time.
She told the site: “I believed it for so long. I just burnt out and broke my body.”
However, her collaboration with fitness brand Pvolve had changed her view.
She said: “Our minds used to think, we have to hurt; no pain, no gain. It has to be an hour of a workout. You have to work out three times a day. With this, you can start gentle.”
She has been able to maintain her size 2 shape even as she has settled into her 50s, starting off her day with lemon water and later meditating.
