As Jennifer Aniston traveled to Hawaii earlier this year to work on the Adam Sandler comedy “Just Go with It,” word somehow got out in the media that she stayed in such enviable shape by going on the baby food diet every once in a while. Though she denied the rumor, it still persisted. Now, on the occasion of the launch of her first fragrance, Jen reveals the secret for her killer bod.

Speaking with the Mirror, the actress says that, before anything, she wants people to know that her incredibly toned body at 41 is the result of very hard work – for seven days every week, no less. Though women (but not exclusively) may tend to deceive themselves with the idea that one can look stunning without putting too much effort into it, in Jennifer’s case, the exact contrary applies. Luckily, she’s an actress, which means she has plenty of time to dedicate to working to look good.

“It takes a brave star to stand before their tone-perfect, heavily airbrushed publicity shots. But Jennifer Aniston proved she is every bit as lean and glamorous in the flesh, as she posed beside posters for her new perfume campaign yesterday. Sadly for women everywhere, she also revealed the secret to her toned size six figure – hardcore gym workouts SEVEN days a week. Looking stunning in a beige, bow-detail minidress, the actress, 41, spent an hour chatting to fans and signing autographs at Harrods, promoting her new scent, Jennifer Aniston: The Debut Fragrance,” the Mirror says.

Of course, the question of her diet and workout routine did come up. “It’s simple. Run, work out every day. I do a lot of running – exercise is so important. Plus it’s all about balance. Work, exercise, diet, you need balance. I am, perhaps, fortunate in that my career, the public awareness it brings, gives me a certain freedom in this way. But, of course, there are positives and negatives in any career, it’s not all going to be perfect,” Aniston explained.

Also then, Jennifer talked about the decision to launch her own fragrance, thus joining the likes of Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham and Halle Berry, to name just a few. She said she did not want to simply put her name on the bottle and call it a day, but rather chose to be extensively involved in the process, which is why it took 2 years for the perfume to come out.
