Reese Witherspoon, 48, does this full-body workout 'every day'
Reese Witherspoon has been busy announcing new books, running her book club, starring in movies, and working on her production company. But besides all that, the 48-year-old also maintains a consistent health and fitness routine. Here’s everything she swears by to feel her best—physically *and* mentally.
So, what does Reese do for her workouts? Here’s what she’s shared.
She exercises ‘every day.’
Fitness is super important to Reese, which is why she does it often. 'I exercise every day and eat right every day, no matter what is going on,' she said at the 2023 Australian Real Estate Conference, per Marie Claire Australia. 'If I’m working way into the night, I eat with frequency and I take care of my mind and spirit.'
She even has a range of fun playlists she uses when she works out, which range in genres from country to pop. Songs include "What A Man Gotta Do" by the Jonas Brothers, "You Need to Calm Down" by Taylor Swift, and "Green Light" by Lorde, per EatingWell.
She’s super into cardio.
In December 2020, Reese launched 30-day walk/run challenge, sharing a new workout each day in her Instagram Stories.
But at the time, Reese admitted that 'some days are just slow,' and that on certain days, she 'walked more than [she] ran,' per EatingWell.
Reese is known for her love of cardio: her trainer Kirschen Katz says that Reese will often do a three-to-five-mile run as a warm-up before diving into other parts of her workout, he told Popsugar. She does at least 30 minutes of cardio six days a week, according to another trainer, Michael George.
Pickleball is apparently now in the mix, too:
She adds upper-body weights and yoga to her workouts.
Remember that three-to-five-mile run? Reese follows that up with upper body strength training like bicep curls and upright rows using lighter dumbbells. 'I like to do two sets of about 12 to 15,' Kirschen told Popsugar. 'We do biceps, we do triceps, we do three or four different shoulder movements.'
After that, she may spend 30 minutes on yoga, working her way through moves like headstands, handstands, or wall dogs, along with sun salutations, warrior poses, and chest-opening poses, Kirschen added.
She recovers with foam rollers and breathwork.
When Reese is done with her workout, she likes to wind down with foam rollers and breathwork. That includes Khumbhaka breath retention: inhaling for four counts, holding for four, then exhaling for four, per Popsugar.
Keep on crushing it out there, Reese!
