"My major motivation is but to receive warm and be sound and bear the most active life that I can because that`s important 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 want to be active. I really feel health is really significant and we get to get charge of our bodies and it`s only something that I`ve been doing for a really long time."

LATERAL SLIDERS
Start with feet hip width apart. Place a Glider or towel under one foot. Begin to shift the leg with the towel or glider laterally until your feet are shoulder width or wider apart. Use your adductors or inner thighs to have to the starting position.
Things to focus on for pure form: Keep your core engaged, legs straight, hips squared or even and your feet in a straight 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 paradigm of motion 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 right 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 remaining leg, stepping into a deep lunge by moving the right leg behind the odd and turn the right knee. Repeat for 12-15 reps before switching to the odd leg.
Things to focus on for pure form: Keep your core engaged; stand up tall making sure to preclude a neutral spine. A slower more controlled tempo is better for this exercise.
Reps/Sets: 2 or 3 sets of 12 - 15 reps
Progression: Add light weights
Regression: Lower the yard or decrease 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 focus on for pure form: Keep your chest up but put your hips low. Make sure to take on the whole foot and not just 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 office 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.
