- Jennifer Aniston swears by her Pvolve P.band, a portable resistance band she uses for quick strength training anywhere.
- “I don’t ever travel without this,” the actor says, noting that she loves doing simple arm workouts on set.
- Aniston’s beauty bag also includes Lolavie dry shampoo and Elizabeth Arden lip balm for all-day freshness.
Jennifer Aniston has been a style icon for decades. Most of us tried to replicate “the Rachel” haircut from her Friends days in the ‘90s, and when the 56-year old actor and producer appears on screen today, we still take notes on her stunning appearance. Recently, Aniston appeared on a segment of Harper’s Bazaar UK’s “Inside My Beauty Bag” series, where she showed viewers what she carries with her on the daily, from mineral sunscreen to a band that helps her sneak in an arm workout whens he has a bit of downtime.
Aniston said her beauty philosophy is simple: “Whatever works,” she shared. “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it … I don’t really follow trends. I like to stick with what works for me.”
She also said she feels “most beautiful” when she’s “taking care of” herself, which happens to involve carrying a small piece of workout equipment with her whenever she can.
“I don’t ever travel without this,” Aniston said as she pulled a resistance band-type piece of equipment from her bag. “This is my P.band. If you’re bored and have nothing better to do and are sitting around waiting on set, which happens, or just in between takes or set ups or you’re on vacation or you’re watching a TV show, this is just really good for working out and for giving your arms a little extra.”
Aniston’s P.band comes from Pvolve, a workout brand that pairs functional movements with resistance equipment to help improve strength, mobility and stability. Aniston has long been a champion of Pvolve, even sharing a look at her at-home Pvolve workouts on her Instagram account. “There’s all sorts of fun things you can do with this,” she said of the resistance band, specifically designed to sculpt arms through short workouts. “Don’t leave home without it.”

The resistance band can be purchased by itself, or as part of a bundle that includes other Pvolve workout equipment and a trial of Pvolve’s workout streaming service. I own Pvolve’s Signature Bundle and have used the P.band quite a bit to develop strength in my upper arms and shoulders. The glove design keeps the band in place, and I love that I never have to worry about it snapping back, rubber band-style, and hurting me. And, because Pvolve workouts work with your body weight and the way your body naturally moves, I find it to be a gentle but effective way to work my muscles as a mid-40s girl just trying to get some simple strength training in when I have a free moment at home.
Until I saw Aniston’s video, however, it hadn’t occurred to me to take my P.band on the go. Since it’s small, foldable and lightweight, it makes total sense. I think I’ll be tossing it into my own beauty bag in the future, so I can squeeze in some arm exercises while waiting to pick up my kids or sitting in the forever-long coffee shop drive-through line.
Planning on giving Aniston’s on-the-go arm workout tool a try? Be sure to help your body build muscle when it’s resting by eating delicious proteins like salmon, which can help build muscle mass. We also love Peloton instructor Ally Love’s advice of drinking water before, during and after a workout to make sure those muscles stay hydrated.
There are lots of other items in Aniston’s bag that just make sense, too, from an Elizabeth Arden lip balm she says keeps her lips moisturized for eight hours at a time (sign me up) to a new dry shampoo product from her hair care brand, Lolavie.
