Kaiser covered Jennifer Aniston’s lengthy interview in the September issue of InStyle and how the 49-year-old actress has taken up boxing to stay in tip-top shape. She admitted “It’s the longest workout I’ve actually stayed with consistently other than yoga. There’s something about the mental aspect of boxing — the drills, your brain has to work, you’re not just sitting on a bike. It’s amazing.” Jennifer is currently in Italy working on a film with Adam Sandler. (WHY, JEN, WHY?)

At home Jennifer trains with Leyon Azubuike, an “ex-sparring partner to a world heavyweight champ” and the co-owner of LA’s Gloveworks fitness facility. After the story was published, and Leyon discovered his client believed he “hung the moon,” he posted a photo to Instagram, holding the magazine. In his caption, he calls Jennifer “one of the most AMAZING human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure to have in my life” and “the hardest working, beautiful, vigorous, most extraordinary person.” Wow. If you interviewed my former personal trainer, he’d say “Well, she’s not a complete wuss. She only cries in the last 10 minutes of our sessions.”

Leyon, who also trains Jennifer Love Hewitt, says that working with the former Friends star has been a “great experience.” He went on to praise her, noting:

“She’s very diligent. She is ready to work out hard, every single time she hits the gym. Whether it be a 45-minute session, whether it be a 2-hour session, she’s always ready to go. Incredibly consistent and hardworking, and that makes my job a little bit easier. She’s a very good, natural athlete.”

Throughout the course of my career, I’ve had the pleasure to wake up every day and do something I love with people I care about, people who share that same passion, energy, and infectious positivity for the task at hand, and to see those same characteristics transcend just the physical part of the exercise. This right here, this is very very special to me, being that it comes from one of the most AMAZING human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure to have in my life ?. So to the hardest working, beautiful, vigorous, most extraordinary person- way to absolutely CRUSH this??. Pick up your @instylemagazine September fashion issue on the stands now! I’m proud of you Jen, and forever proud to be your coach ?? . . . #JenniferAniston #Gloveworx #Fitness @underarmour @gloveworx @goodmorningamerica

Since most of us probably couldn’t afford working with Leyon, he shared that his workouts are based in strength conditioning, utilizing resistance bands and light weights paired with work in the ring using glove. Sounds Google-able. I’m no natural athlete, but this sounds like a workout I could probably get behind, especially because of the “mental release” that boxing provides. And, if I could look just a tiny bit like Jennifer as a result, I’m in.
