Despite it being a hot afternoon and a plethora of fancy Hollywood gyms at her disposal, the 17-year-old decided to opt for a more classic workout instead.

Unlike other famous celebrities her age, Elle skipped wearing any makeup and tied her blonde locks back into an unfussy bun.

While the fact she went for a jog despite Los Angeles' heat pushing 80F was impressive on its own, even more impressive was that the star somehow managed to muster the energy to do so after a long week of filming.

Elle has been busy filming 20th Century Women, which also stars Annette Bening, is about three women exploring love and freedom in the Seventies.
