'Encourages you to keep going:' Jennifer Aniston uses this fitness tracker when working out
Staying in a consistent workout routine can be tough. Between busy work days, running errands, getting together with friends and spending time with family, it can seem like there's not enough time in the day. If you can relate, take a cue from actress Jennifer Aniston and invest in an Oura Ring.
The Oura Ring is a smart ring you wear both day and night that tracks over 30 biometrics — think your sleep, your activity, your stress levels, your heart health and so much more. You can easily view your results via the Oura app on your smartphone (which, full disclosure, does have a monthly fee of $6 after your first month).
Aniston listed the Oura Ring 4 as one of her favorite things and told The Strategist: "When did I get this (the bane of my existence) damn ring? I think I got it in 2021. It tracks my sleep, and I've gotten to the point where I don't look at my sleep from the night before until the middle of the day, because I just feel like shit the minute I wake up. Because it's like, 'And you've failed upon arising, you've already sucked today!' And then it's like, 'Don't feel bad, we can work on this!' But with my workouts, it's great because it tracks them, and that just encourages you to keep going."
To get the most out of it, you should wear the ring 24/7, but that doesn't mean you have to charge it all the time. The Oura Ring 4 has up to eight days of battery life, so you'll only need to juice it up about once a week.
If you don't know your ring size, Oura also makes finding your perfect fit easy — you can buy a sizing kit so you can try on the various sizes (from size 4 to 15) and choose which finger you want to wear it on. Plus, Amazon will give you $10 in credit towards your Oura Ring 4 purchase when you buy the sizing kit. Also worth noting — the Oura Ring is FSA and HSA eligible!
And Jennifer Aniston isn't the only fan of this smart ring. Nearly 800 Amazon reviewers have given it a glowing five-star rating.
One pleased user shared: "I've had an Oura ring since they launched. I always upgrade to the latest when they launch. Now, I've been a size 8 in all of my rings, til this one. Glad I did the sizing ring first (which goes towards your purchase of the ring anyways) and I'm a size 9 in this one. Setup was a breeze and it actually seemed more comfortable to wear and more sensitive in its readings. Worth every penny."
"It took me forever to finally move this from my wishlist to my cart. Not sure why because this has been a great purchase. It is helping me learn and start to create better sleep habits. It has allowed me to see how often I'm getting stressed and helped me pinpoint the triggers of those moments. It's still a work in progress and I'm still working on getting the most of out of the ring, but so far it's been a great purchase," raved another shopper.
A third fan wrote, "I absolutely love this health tracker. I've always worn a Polar watch after switching from Fitbit, and I highly value the health data this provides versus fitness data. It is spot on about when I need to rest and whether or not I am getting sick. Learning my sleep type was pretty cool. Battery life is great and I love how easy it is to sync. It also has built-in mediations based on your data."
While most shoppers gushed about the thorough data the ring provides and how easy it fits into their lifestyles, a few did have feedback on the style and fit.
One reviewer explained: "This ring gives lots of great health tracking info and syncs easily with my Apple Watch and health app. I got the brushed silver and it looks great and wears well (no scratches). Took off a star because it is a bit thick to wear all the time. I only wear it to track my sleep at night, and rely on my Apple Watch during the day."
Another Oura user cautioned others to "pick a ring finish carefully" and added, "I purchased the gold style and wear it on my left index finger. I normally take it off before undergoing any high-wear conditions and have been disappointed to see scuffs and scratches only after a short period of time and without much wear and tear (I have been babying it). While I have been told by others that it is not noticeable, I can notice it, and it was not what I was expecting..."
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

Henry Cavill Says His WARHAMMER Series Is a 'Dream Come True' and a Challenge He's "Enjoying Enormously' — GeekTyrant
It's been three years since Amazon first announced that it had teamed up with Henry Cavill to bring Warhammer 40,000 to life in live action. Since then, the updates have been slow, but Cavill hasn't let go of his dream. In fact, he's doubling down. In a recent interview with Esquire, the actor-turned-executive-producer opened up about what it's like to be steering the ship for one of the most expansive and intimidating sci-fi IPs out there, saying: 'It's different from what I've done before, in the sense I haven't had my hand on the tiller of things before. It's wonderful doing that. It is a tricky IP, and a very complex IP, and that's what I love about it. 'The challenges that come with putting this on the page in a way that is doing justice to that complexity, that trickiness, and that nuance, is a challenge I'm enjoying enormously.' For longtime fans of the Warhammer universe, and of Cavill, this is exactly the kind of commitment you want to hear. Cavill previously said: 'For 30 years I have dreamt of seeing a Warhammer universe in live action. Now, after 22 years of experience in this industry, I finally feel that I have the skill set and experience to guide a Warhammer Cinematic Universe into life.' But beyond that initial burst of excitement, details have been kept under wraps. At the tail end of 2024, Cavill offered a brief update, hinting that he and the creative team had zeroed in on their launch point for the franchise: 'Together, we've been sifting through the plethora of incredible characters and poring over old tomes and texts. Our combined efforts have led us to a fantastic place to start our Universe.' What that starting point is remains a mystery, but if Cavill's obsessive enthusiasm and long-running love for the source material are any indication, fans are in good hands. This isn't someone casually stepping into a producer role. This is someone who paints miniatures, builds custom gaming PCs, and actually knows what the Adeptus Mechanicus is. In a world where big franchises often fall into the hands of people who barely understand what makes them special, Warhammer 40K might have found its champion. Cavill wants to do it right.

Inside Giada De Laurentiis's Deal With Amazon
Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis discusses turning a two-minute demo into a two-decade career, going all-in on content and commerce and what she's building next with Amazon. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Giada De Laurentiis didn't set out to become famous. She wasn't chasing TV deals or dreaming of launching a digital brand. When Food Network first asked her to submit an audition tape, she resisted. "I just wanted a job so I didn't have to rely on my family," she tells Restaurant Influencers host Shawn Walchef. The camera saw something she hadn't planned for. So did the culture. Before the Emmy Awards and restaurant openings, De Laurentiis was a quiet kid in a very loud family. Born in Rome and raised in Los Angeles, she grew up in a household where tradition mattered, and heritage wasn't negotiable. Related: These College Friends Wanted to Sell Better Food. Now, Their Company Is Publicly Traded. Her grandfather was a towering presence. A pasta maker turned film producer, he brought the whole family to the United States, chasing the promise of success in Hollywood. Their world was a fusion of food and film. De Laurentiis remembers afternoons spent at her grandfather's Italian food hall, watching customers marvel at imported cheeses, hanging salamis and ingredients they had never seen before. This was long before Italian food had gone mainstream in America. The experience was immersive, almost theatrical. It left an imprint. She didn't know it at the time, but those after-school visits would shape how she thought about food, emotion and hospitality. What drew people in wasn't just the flavor. It was the feeling and the story. "I wanted to do something that created that same reaction," she says, thinking back to how guests responded to her grandfather's markets. Even as she studied food anthropology, trained in Paris and worked in fine dining, the storytelling instinct never left — it was part of her DNA. And when she finally said yes to a taped audition, it showed. "I honestly had no desire to be in front of the camera," she admits. "There was no plan." Everyday Italian became a breakout hit. But in De Laurentiis's mind, the goal was never stardom: it was independence and self-definition. Related: Fans Are Tattooing This Pizza Brand's Logo on Their Skin for a Year of Free Slices Building her Giadzy brand Giadzy, the lifestyle brand De Laurentiis launched in 2016, started as a simple blog. It's now a curated marketplace, media hub and ecommerce platform that reflects her take on Italian living: simple meals, joyful hospitality and stories that matter. With recipe kits, travel tips and premium pantry staples sourced from Italy, Giadzy is a direct extension of De Laurentiis's upbringing and personal ethos. That foundation has positioned her for bigger moves. She recently partnered with Amazon on both a digital storefront and a new multi-year Amazon Studios unscripted series deal for Prime Video. She and Amazon are blending content and commerce in a way that lets her audience go from watching to cooking to shopping — all in the same digital space. At the same time, she's expanding her restaurant footprint. De Laurentiis's Las Vegas location just passed the 10-year mark, a major milestone anywhere, let alone on the Strip. When she opened it, the Vegas dining scene was overwhelmingly male-led. As one of the few women stepping into that space with her name on the marquee, many doubted she would last. She didn't just last — she built something that redefined what Vegas dining could feel like. Related: This Chef Lost His Restaurant the Week Michelin Called. Now He's Made a Comeback By Perfecting One Recipe. She's now bringing the same approach to Chicagoland, where she's launching two new restaurants: Sorellina and Sorella. One casual, one elevated. Both are designed to feel warm, bright and inviting — no moody steakhouses or overdone menus, just intentional design and food that speaks. "I'm not trying to do what everyone else is doing," De Laurentiis says. "I'm trying to create places that feel like me." That's what her brand has always been about. Not chasing trends, but staying rooted in something deeper. "I don't know what I'm doing half the time," she laughs. "But I keep learning. And that's what keeps me going."
