Jennifer Aniston is feeling more body confident than ever.

In an interview with Allure published on Thursday, January 2, the Friends star, 55, was asked about her relationship with her body. “Well, we really love each other,” Aniston shared.

She continued, “We’ve got to love our bodies. It’s doing the best it can. It’s been with us since the day we started, so we can’t be too hard on it.”

“I was working on a movie and there was an older man on set. I’d seen him on a couple of different jobs and he was just working, working, working. I go, ‘You are impressive. I mean, you just never stop.’ And he said, ‘I just don’t let the old man in.’ There was something about that,” Aniston added.

Jennifer Aniston was just 25 years old when she became a household name playing Rachel Green on Friends. After its September 22, 1994, premiere, viewers quickly fell in love with the stunning and funny star, and before she knew it, she was crowned America’s Sweetheart. With great fanfare came the not-so-great glare of the spotlight […]

The actress told Allure that she works out a minimum of four times a week, however, she didn’t always have such a healthy lifestyle.

“Of course, we’re all going to grow older, but how can we thrive as we grow older? And that is about giving your body the attention that it deserves,” Aniston said. “For me personally, I loved my 30s, but my 20s were nothing. I was a nightmare. I didn’t understand working out until my 30s and 40s.”

In addition to working out, The Morning Show star takes an 80-20 approach to indulgence.

“Eighty percent healthy living and then 20 percent is: Go have a martini, go have your pizza and burgers and stay up late with your friends. There’s a balance,” she said.

Aniston also shared her stance on aging as she enters her mid-50s.

“With positivity and gratitude,” she said of her approach to growing older. “I mean, we are still here. What’s the alternative? I’m trying not to think about growing older. I try not to think about age. The world will always be there telling us what your age is and what women should do in society when you’re this or that.”

She added, “I think we’re realizing how people are so impressionable. It’s like, ‘Okay, well if they say this happens at this age, that’s what happens at this age.’ But then you go, ‘No! Who’s making these rules?!’ Our muscles are going to go limp as we get older? No, let’s keep them strong. We can make our own rules. It’s all bulls–t.”
