According to People, Witherspoon and her friends love to go Burn 60 classes in Los Angeles. Burn 60 consists of 45 or 60 minute classes that focus on training one section of the body.“It’s a smart way to get the most bang out of your buck if you have limited time, because you spend half of your time doing strength training work with resistance bands and dumbbells and barbells and body weight, and half of the time on the treadmill getting your cardio in,” Burn 60 trainer Keith Anthony told People.

4. She Works Out With Her Friends

I also run, I Spin, I do yoga. Physical strength is important."
