EVEN when you’re a big a Hollywood star, it’s the simple things that mean the most.

Reese Witherspoon says she likes nothing more than hitting the gym with her favorite gal pals.

“I try to exercise every day,” the Legally Blonde star tells In Style magazine on how she stays in shape. “I like to run for about an hour, and I’m big into working out with girlfriends.

“It’s an acquired skill, being able to discuss your love life, children and friends, all while you’re running! But we have mastered it.”

The 33-year-old says she’s more confident now than she’s ever been in her life.

“As you get older, you know what you like and what you don’t like and you’re not apologetic about it,” Witherspoon says. “I used to judge myself so harshly — I think women in their 20s do. But you start to realize that none of it is really all that important. As long as you’re comfortable, the best parts of yourself come through no matter what.”

Reese — who has two children with her sexy ex-husband Ryan Phillippe — also revealed how she survived her 2007 divorce.

“You just have to keep going,” said the star, who is currently dating Jake Gyllenhaal. “You have to keep it together for your kids and for 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.”
