"My major motivation is but to find warm and be intelligent and endure the most active life that I can because that`s crucial to me," Cameron Diaz told us when we asked about her sexy and shapely legs.
"I do all kinds of exercises, everything from lifting weights to running," she revealed.
"I wish to be active. I truly feel health is very important and we get to get charge of our bodies and it`s merely something that I`ve been doing for a very long time."
Want amazing gams like Cameron`s? ADVANTAGE Trainer Nina Moore at The Sports Club/LA, where celebs Katie Holmes, Victoria Beckham, Chris Brown and Justin Bieber work out, shares some leg toning exercises to get you going.
LATERAL SLIDERS
Start with feet hip width apart. Place a Glider or towel under one foot. Begin to slip the leg with the towel or glider laterally until your feet are shoulder width or wider apart. Use your adductors or inner thighs to give to the start position.
Things to concentrate on for pure form: Keep your core engaged, legs straight, hips squared or evening and your feet in a direct line throughout the movement. 
Reps/Sets: 2 or 3 sets of 15 - 20 reps
Progression: Add a medicine ball or dumbbell push press
Regression: Limited the image of movement by 2 or 3 inches
Primary Muscles Worked: Adductors
STEP UP TO BALANCE/STEP DOWN TO LUNGE
Start facing side of bench, step or platform. Place the proper foot on top of the bench. Step up into a single leg balance (left leg is non-weight bearing). Step down from the judiciary with the left leg, stepping into a deep lunge by moving the right leg behind the odd and bend the proper knee. Repeat for 12-15 reps before switching to the odd leg.
Things to concentrate on for pure form: Keep your core engaged; stand up tall making certain to prevent a neutral spine. A slower more controlled tempo is best for this exercise.
Reps/Sets: 2 or 3 sets of 12 - 15 reps
Progression: Add light weights
Regression: Lower the pace or lessening the act of reps
Primary Muscles Worked: Quads, Glutes
SQUAT JUMPS
Start with feet hip width apart. Jump into a wide stance, keeping hips parallel to your knees. Jump again into a narrower squat, again holding the hips low.
Things to concentrate on for pure form: Keep your chest up but cast your hips low. Make certain to bring on the whole foot and not merely your toes.
Reps/Sets: 2 or 3 sets of 10 - 20 jumps or see how many jumps you can do in 30 seconds
Progression: Hold a light/medium weight medicine ball close to the bureau while you jump
Regression: Do fewer reps
Primary Muscles Worked: Quads, Hamstrings, Glutes and Calves
JUMP ROPE
Add jumping rope to your workouts for really sexy, toned and defined calves.
