Kaley Cuoco hits back at criticism for wearing a face mask while working out

Kaley Cuoco doesn't have time for the haters.

The Big Bang Theory star, 34, shared a motivational workout video on social media while wearing a mask during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"Jump It Out," the actress captioned her video on Tuesday. "My newest obsession during COVID/quarantine! All you need is 20 mins, a jump rope, and good music !"

While she encouraged many of her followers with positive energy, others were more focused on the fact she was wearing a mask while exercising.

"Take off the mask !!" one user wrote. While another added, "With mask workout is very dangerous."

Despite the heavy criticism Cuoco received on her post, the star explained in the comments her reasons for wearing it.

"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."

A number of fans came to the defence of the Harley Quinn star, supporting her in the comments of the post.

"If she feels comfortable working out with a mask, good for her. That is her prerogative," one follower wrote. "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," said 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!!"

Cuoco is staring in a new drama The Flight Attendant, which recently resumed production after being halted by the coronavirus pandemic. The actress plays Cassie Bowden, a flight attendant who wakes up in the wrong hotel and in bed with a dead man and no memory of what happened.
