1. She Takes Daily Walks

Reese prioritizes daily walks for a little exercise. It’s inexpensive, gives her fresh air, and helps her with her physical and mental health. According to thechalkboardmag.com, she even started a run club, admittedly more of a walking club, to keep her focused. "Physical activity, such as walking, is important for weight control because it helps you burn calories. If you add 30 minutes of brisk walking to your daily routine, you could burn about 150 more calories a day. Of course, the more you walk and the quicker your pace, the more calories you'll burn," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Spends Time in Nature

Taking things a step further, Reese will often set out into the woods to go on a more intense hike when she wants to challenge herself. The different terrain can be beneficial for various muscles in your body. It’s something you can do alone to clear your mind or with some friends to catch up and socialize.

3. She Stretches and Foam Rolls

Witherspoon does a series of floor stretches with her foam roller to make sure that her muscles are kept in tip top shape. There are a lot of benefits to foam rolling, essentially giving yourself a deep tissue massage, working out the muscles. Try a foam roller on yoru upper back, says the Mayo Clinic:

"1. Lie on your back and place a foam roller underneath your mid-back. 2. Lift your hips off the oor and place your hands behind your ears to open your chest. 3. Slowly push through your heels to move yourself back and forth from your mid-back to the top of your shoulder blades. 4. Keep your spine and head aligned in a neutral position. 5. When you nd a sore spot, stop and hold the position for at least 30 seconds until you can feel the muscle relax."

4. She Connects With Her Fans For Support

Just like any normal person, Reese can use support sometimes. She even started a workout challenge on the treadmill to avoid running otuside in the cold where she did a series of intervals. Usually focusing on a book club with her fans, back in December she encouraged them to set monthly activity goals with her.

5. She Still Has Fun

Reese seems to have a really good surrounding support system of friends and family and she loves hosting pool parties and get togethers. At those parties, she’ll sometimes relax a little with some of her favorite southern foods. That could include fried chicken, fried okra, squash casserole, and more. She doesn’t deprive herself, but loves to include veggies. Everything in moderation, if she indulges one day she also really loves green smoothies and veggie packed meals. It’s about balance.

1. Be Self-Confident

Reese points out that it is important to realize how great you are. “I've said this to Oprah before, but LeBron James doesn't go, ‘I'm kinda sorta good at basketball.’ He's like, ‘I'm the best there ever was.’ So, yes, I do think I'm very good at what I do. I've been doing it for 30 years. I know what I'm doing. Give me the ball.”

2. Don't be Afraid to Learn

Compared to men, Reese believes another crucial quality that females bestow is the ability to be humble. “Another important difference is that women have humility. I have no problem saying to people, ‘I don't understand what you're saying, can you please explain it to me?’ Self-doubt is a good tool. You shouldn't know everything. Turn to somebody, but advocate to learn more and do better,” she said.

3. Feel Young

Reese finds ways to feel young, including being compared to her daughter. “Well, I love being mistaken for her because it makes me feel so young. I'm so proud of her. She really rolls with it. I'm sure it's not easy looking exactly like your mother,” she said.

4. Accept and Embrace Your Body

Reese’s secret to looking good? “In my 30s, I learned to accept my body for what it is. This is what looks good on it. It will never look good in that thing over there with all the fabric and the bows and the ruffles. It just won't,” she explained.

5. Spend Time with People You Love

As she has gotten older, Reese prioritizes spending more time with people she loves. “I'm 45. I know who I want to spend time with and who I don't. And that is one of the great things about getting older — it just clears out so much space. I want to be with my mom, my kids, and the people who fill my tank. And everybody else, I wish them well,” she says.
