Kaley Cuoco has taken to social media to share a workout video, but while she aimed to spread some positive energy, some of her followers chose to focus on the fact that she was wearing a mask while exercising.
"Jump It Out. My newest obsession during COVID/quarantine! All you need is 20 minutes, a jump rope and good music! [sic]" the actor who is best known for her role on the Big Bang Theory, wrote alongside a video of herself skipping.

While we were impressed with her co-ordination and jump rope skills, some of her six million followers chose to lambast the 34-year-old for wearing a mask while she worked out.

"You’re wearing a mask because why?” wrote one Instagram user, while another corroborated, "You don’t need a mask when you workout."
"Don’t use mask to exercise. CO2. Nice going," a third added.
Kaley, however, was quick to clap back. She took to the comments to defend her decision, writing: "For everyone and their mask comments. I wear a mask when I’m in an enclosed space around others, which I was. I’m protecting myself and everyone around me. That’s why I choose to wear a mask. Thanks for playing."
Amen to that.
The actor was praised for her consideration.
One fan wrote: If she feels comfortable working out with a mask, good for her. That is her prerogative. Out of respect for people, that’s what I do as well when in the gym. It’s safer for you and the others around you."
"Wearing a mask is not dangerous if you listen to your body," wrote another. "Kaley will likely feel a lot fitter after exercising like this once she can train without wearing a mask. It’s like athletes doing altitude training. She is being a responsible citizen, it’s a shame more people can’t be!"
