Eating the same meal every single day for 10 years? Sounds a little like Elvis; or even Einstein with that outfit. Quirky or not, it was a fact of life for the ‘Friends’ female-threesome: Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow.
The co-stars of the long-running popular sitcom are slender, fit and beautiful, and even since the final episode aired more than six years ago, we’re still keen on knowing how they do it.

Jennifer Aniston has one of the most coveted body’s in Hollywood. One of her best features are her lithe and lean arms which she credits to yoga. Her thrice-a-week yoga routine has helped her muscles get stronger without bulking up because of yoga’s ability to elongate muscle fibers.
In yoga, your body weight is your own gym. You rely on your own body weight to increase your strength rather than a hand-weight or bench press. The contraction and extension of yoga postures that use the arms like chatarunga dandasana, downward dog, hand-stands and hundreds of others strengthen and lengthen your upper and lower arms as well as your shoulders and back muscles giving your body a graceful yet strong look.
