We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Shape here on FitSugar.

Cameron Diaz is one hot mama! All right, all right…so she may not be a mom in real life, but she does play one (and a pretty smokin’ one at that!) in her newest movie, What to Expect When You’re Expecting.

In the funny flick, the 39-year-old actress heats up the big screen by shakin’ her thang in a super-skimpy red sequined number—and all we can say is WOW! With a body that slammin’, she plays the role of a celebrity weight-loss guru and personal trainer perfectly.

13 Simple Ways to Amp Up Your Pushup

Her character becomes pregnant (and sports the cutest baby bump ever!) later in the film, but it’s impossible not to notice her signature ultra-sculpted shoulders and buff biceps to match.

So just how does the charismatic star get those amazing arms? We spoke with her long-time personal trainer (and incredible inspiration himself), Teddy Bass, to steal some of his secrets to a Diaz-worthy bod.

Summer is in full swing! If you're like me, you've already been to a beach, river, or lake for some outdoor water fun. Even though a lot of you said you've been working hard to get in shape for bikini season, many of you are still worried about wearing a two-piece. Stars Brooklyn Decker, Audrina Patridge, and Cameron Diaz recently shared with Life & Style their secrets for getting bikini-ready — even at the last minute.

Check the tips out here:

• Brooklyn Decker focuses on toning — especially by doing ab exercises. She also eats a diet high in lean protein and healthy fats, which include Greek yogurt and nuts. But when shooting the Sports Illustrated cover, she was encouraged to eat whatever she wanted: "Sports Illustrated is never about losing weight. They encourage girls to eat cheeseburgers the night before a shoot because they love girls who are a little bit curvier."
• Audrina Patridge keeps her diet as clean as possible during beach season. She cuts down on carbs, sticking to lean proteins and leafy greens. "I also love shots of wheat grass . . .When I want to kick it up a notch, I get Sunfare meals delivered." Sunfare delivers already cooked meals to your door based on a "30/40/30" formula. All meals and snacks are comprised of 30 percent lean proteins; 40 percent whole wheat, low-carb or fresh, low-glycemic carbohydrates; and 30 percent monounsaturated fat.
• Cameron Diaz works out with trainer Teddy Bass to stay lean and toned. Teddy told Life & Style that the trick to looking like Cameron is "doing combination exercises that blast multiple muscles at once, like squats with shoulder presses." Check out this arm workout that Teddy designed for Cameron.

Cameron Diaz showed off some serious skin while on the set of Bad Teacher this week. The actress was seen wearing Daisy Dukes and a midriff-baring top that left many of us wondering how she always manages to look so lean and toned. Cameron's longtime trainer Teddy Bass shared with Us Magazine that Cameron uses a mixture of Pilates, cardio, and weight training to stay in shape.

"That seems to be the best combination for women over 30," he explains. "Women need weight — it's great for building the butt. And elongation and smallness is tapped by doing Pilates."

Bass says that he and Cameron hit the gym as "often as possible" and recommends that everyone should incorporate cardio into their routine three to five times a week. If he and Cameron are limited on time, they do 45 minutes of Pilates — using a mat and the Reformer — but if time isn't an issue, Bass adds weights and flexibility training to the routine.
