Jessica Alba gave fans a glimpse of her gym routine with a mirror selfie that quickly attracted a stream of compliments.
The 45-year-old actress posed with one hand on her hip, wearing a black sports bra with white trim and matching high-waisted leggings. The coordinating set featured a square neckline and white detailing running down the sides of her legs.
Her brown hair was swept into a high ponytail, while small earrings, a black sports watch and a pale manicure completed her workout look. Exercise equipment, weights and a bench could be seen behind her.
Jessica's followers were quick to respond. "Beautiful," wrote one alongside a red heart, while another commented: "God was in a really good mood the day he made you."

Jessica has spoken openly about the effort involved in fitting exercise around her work and family commitments.
In a May interview with People, the actress explained that she gets up earlier than she would ideally like to make time for meditation, before trying to fit in a workout.

"Usually if I get it done early in the morning, then I feel like the rest of the day, I'm good to go."
Repeating the same workout isn't her preference. As Jessica told E! News in 2024: "I get bored. So I do spinning and I do cross training with a mix of weights and cardio."

Fitness has featured in Jessica's recent outings, too. On October 19, she and boyfriend Danny Ramirez were photographed getting coffee after a workout in West Hollywood.
Earlier in the month, she was pictured leaving a hot yoga studio, another of the activities she has spoken about enjoying.
Her gym wardrobe followed a more formal fashion moment at the Academy Museum Gala on October 17. Jessica attended the Los Angeles fundraiser in a strapless black gown with a dramatic ruffled train.
She was also a member of the event's host committee. The evening honored Charlize Theron, Colman Domingo and John Carpenter, raising more than $14 million for the museum's exhibitions, education and public programming.
Away from red carpets, Jessica has described a personal approach to exercise that centers on how she feels. Speaking to Real Simple in 2024, she explained: "I listen to my body and try to feel strong."
