Use Hamilton's equations in canonical action-angle coordinates. Since the Hamiltonian is independent of the angle variables, the action equations have zero right-hand side, and the angle equations are given by the gradient of $H$ with respect to the action variables.

The hypothesis already puts the system in the desired normal coordinates. The proof is therefore a direct substitution into Hamilton's canonical equations: no existence theorem for action-angle coordinates is being proved here.

[step: Apply Hamilton's equations]
In canonical action-angle coordinates $(I,\theta)$, Hamilton's equations have the form
\begin{align*}
\dot I_i=-\frac{\partial H}{\partial \theta_i},
\qquad
\dot\theta_i=\frac{\partial H}{\partial I_i}
\end{align*}
for each $i=1,\dots,n$.

[step: Use the action-only hypothesis]
By hypothesis, $H=H(I)$ has no dependence on the angle variables $\theta_i$. Hence
\begin{align*}
\frac{\partial H}{\partial \theta_i}=0
\end{align*}
for every $i$, so Hamilton's first equation gives
\begin{align*}
\dot I_i=0
\end{align*}
for every $i$.

[step: Identify the angle velocity]
Hamilton's second equation gives
\begin{align*}
\dot\theta_i=\frac{\partial H}{\partial I_i}
\end{align*}
for every $i$. In vector notation this is
\begin{align*}
\dot\theta=\nabla_I H(I).
\end{align*}
Thus the action variables are constant and the angle variables evolve linearly with frequency vector $\nabla_IH(I)$ on each invariant torus.
