Jennifer Aniston ~ hot yoga body for Smart Water

You have probably seen this ad of Jennifer Anisons' for Smart Water.

Makes you want to work harder and drink Smart Water right??!!!
Jen's yoga instructor Many Ingber tells:
"We do 30-40 minutes of cardio in one form or another; elliptical, spinning, any version of cardio, really, and not every time either! Then we do 30-45 minutes of yoga. I like to do sun salutations with her, and a little bit of flow yoga with toning exercises from a chair, squats, lunges, pull-ups from a plank and then ab work. We mix it up like that. And then we’ll always do 15 minutes of stretching.”
