In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, civilians – and celebrities – have subscribed to ‘social-distancing’ as a means of preventing the spread of the potentially deadly virus.

But actress Reese Witherspoon was spotted out in the open on Wednesday, while enjoying a midday calorie burn in close proximity to a friend in her Brentwood neighborhood.

The 43-year-old concealed her most identifiable features beneath a black ball cap and behind a pair of blue-tinted sunglasses during her daring fitness feat.

Witherspoon, noticeably makeup free, looked jovial, while navigating through both paved and unpaved terrain.

The Legally Blonde actress showed off her trim and toned legs in a pair of black form fitting leggings, which she styled with an oversized crewneck sweatshirt.

Her sweatshirt rocked a string of emoji graphics on one sleeve and the phrase ‘beam sunshine’ on the other.

Reese’s choice of top proved ironic with Los Angeles showcasing some unusually gloomy weather on Wednesday.

She rounded out her athletic attire with a pair of black and white Puma brand kicks, which became covered in debris upon the completion of Witherspoon’s workout.

Reese’s pal trailed behind her as the Big Little Lies star impressively power walked with stride.
