Reese Witherspoon loves exercising with friends.

The 33-year-old actress struggles to find the time to work out and socialise, so arranges meetings with her pals at the gym.

 

She told Americas InStyle magazine: “I try to exercise every day. I like to run for about an hour, and I'm big into working out with girlfriends.”

 

Reese has overhauled her life since her divorce from actor Ryan Phillippe – with who she has children Ava, 10, and five-year-old Deacon – in 2007.

 

The split encouraged the ‘Monsters Vs. Aliens’ actress to take more time out from work and do things she enjoys.

 

She explained: “You just have to keep going, you have to keep it together for your kids and yourself too. I'm trying to learn from the things that have happened in my life, live more in the moment, and have more fun.”

 

Among her hobbies is spending time with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal at her farmhouse outside Los Angeles.

 

She revealed: “Jake is a great cook, he does a lot. We spend the weekends at my farmhouse. We have chickens and we grow cucumbers and tomatoes. It reminds me of where I grew up in Tennessee.”
