I Tried Jen Aniston’s Go-To Workout For 2 Months—Here’s My Honest P.Volve Review

P.volve P. Ball

View On Pvolve.com

My favorite piece of equipment from P.volve, the P.ball, offers a unique way to strengthen your lower body. It’s essentially a mini exercise ball held in place with a thick resistance band. To use it, you slide your feet into the band on either side of the ball, moving it up and down your legs to target different muscles. What makes it so challenging and effective is that you have to either squeeze the ball or push against the band to keep it up—meaning there’s constant resistance from every direction. 

Once it’s centered between your legs, you can complete exercises like glute bridges, donkey kicks, lateral leg raises, squats, and more. You can also simply squeeze the ball or push against the bands, using the resistance to target your inner and outer legs. 

This is one of the most innovative workout accessories I’ve ever tried, as it combines two really great pieces of equipment. The band is removable and adjustable, with five hook and loop closures and an optional extender. Plus, the p.ball also comes with a hand pump, needle, and a tape measure to ensure your ball is always inflated to the correct size (a diameter of 18-21 inches).

P.volve Heavy Ankle Resistance Band

It’s like a resistance band but different. P.volve’s heavy ankle band, also designed to target the lower body, is an innovative approach to traditional resistance bands. It features two velcro cuffs that wrap around each ankle, connected by a thin latex band that holds them together. You can use this band both standing and lying on your mat by pressing your feet away from each other to build resistance. I used the band to complete exercises like side lunges, side-lying hip abductions, side steps, and more to target the outer glute and leg muscles. 

What I love about the ankle band is that it stays put, unlike other resistance bands I’ve used in the past—allowing me to do more dynamic exercises. Plus, I love how simple it is to use. Although it’s only designed to target the lower body, you can use it for so many different lower body exercises that it’s worth the purchase.

P.volve P.Band

The perfect complement to the heavy ankle bands, the P.band strengthens your upper body by using (you guessed it!) resistance. It’s a thin latex resistance band that connects two gloves (made from polyester, neoprene, and cotton) that you can slip your hands into and then secure with the velcro wrist strap. 

What sets the P.band apart from any other upper-body-specific accessories I’ve used is that it lets you target small, hard-to-reach muscles you otherwise would miss. That’s because it gives your full range of motion to work your arms, back, and shoulders at different angles and levels of resistance. My upper body has never felt more sore than when I used this product for the first time. 

While testing the P. Band, I used it for chest flies, lat pull-downs, and other upper body resistance band exercises. In many P.volve workouts, you can combine the heavy ankle band with the P.Band for a total body workout—one of my favorite things to do!

P.volve Ankle Weight Set

Ankle weights have been a regular part of my workout routine for some time, so I was super excited to try P.Volve’s 1.5-pound ankle weights. These small, versatile weights that can be used on your wrists or ankles offer a gentle way to add resistance as you walk and do other movements to engage your upper body, lower body, and core. 

A weight that’s less than 2 pounds may not seem like a lot, but it works to build up tension in the muscles—leaving me sore after each P.volve session. I love that these weights feature an adjustable velcro strap that stays in place, which I especially appreciate during my 12-3-30 treadmill walks. While I still love my tried-and-true Bala Bangles, P.volve’s ankle weights come in a close second.
