FitSugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 05:55:02 -0700

Is it just me, or do Cameron Diaz's arms look better than ever? The Summer heat has allowed the actress to show off her toned arms while promoting My Sister's Keeper, and those sleeveless sheaths are nothing but complementary. Cameron's trainer, Teddy Bass, kindly shared a few tips on how to work your muscles to tone up for tank top season. Free weights are the only equipment you'll need.

Heidi Klum and Cameron Diaz Are Fans of Core Fusion

FitSugar — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:25:39 -0800

Even if you can't make it to Exhale, the exclusive mind/body spa in New York and LA, you can still feel the effects of its Core Fusion classes. Heidi Klum and Cameron Diaz rave about this Pilates, yoga, and core conditioning regimen, which is now available in a pair of Core Fusion DVDs designed by the founders of this signature workout, Elisabeth Halfpapp and Fred DeVito.

The two videos - Exhale Spa: Core Fusion Body Sculpt ($15) and Exhale Spa: Core Fusion Pilates Plus ($15) - include the top moves you'd do if you took the class, but for much less money. To find out what I thought of them, read more.

Each video contains five 10-minute workout sessions that target and strengthen your abs, back, upper arms, thighs, and glutes. The reason this workout is so successful is because each move involves using your core. You'll need a set of lightweight dumbbells, a belt, a wall, a chair, and a mat in order to do these exercises. After doing some of these exercises, I felt a deep burn I've never felt before. It was amazing to target my muscles so intensely. By the end of each video, I felt both energized and relaxed. If you don't have a lot of time to work out, I'd recommend these Core Fusion DVDs, because you'll sculpt and tone your muscles in less than an hour.

Get Your Butt in Gear: Cammie's Ruffle Foldover Pants

FitSugar — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 12:30:00 -0700

Ever since seeing the always-dressed-to-impress Cameron Diaz in some really cute workout pants a while back, I haven't been able to get them out of my head. I've literally been searching for them high and low. Lucky for me, I've located the pants and already ordered a pair.

I love them for their simplicity but also because I think the cute fold over ruffle will distract from people looking at my rear (always a point of paranoia for me when I am running). At $75, I know you all are going to say they're a bit pricey, but to me feeling comfortable in tight pants, is priceless. Agree? Then buy them from ShopIntuition.com.

Too see Miss Diaz, looking fit and healthy in the very same pants, just read more

Get the Snack: Cameron Diaz

FitSugar — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 23:30:00 -0700

Cameron Diaz has been looking very healthy and fit these days. We've seen her hit the gym and the beach for workouts lately and it sure is paying off.

Cameron's known for eating a bunch of small meals throughout the day, so it's no wonder that she was spotted toting around a very healthy snack recently. Honestly, it looks like a snack I could get into, so here's what she's eating:

Blue Corn Chips: They're great because they're made with organic corn, no hydrogenated oils, no artificial flavors or colors, no preservatives, no trans fat, made with expelled pressed oil, Kosher certified and cooked in filtered water.
GT's Organic Raw Kombucha: It's got probiotics, live active enzymes, L-Theanine (an amino acid), organic acids and Polyphenols (antioxidants). The taste is an acquired one, one that you love or hate.
Water. I'm actually surprised that Cameron is not drinking out of a reusable water bottle, like a Sigg, but water is important to drink through out the day. Here she's opted for a 1.5 liter bottle of Poland Spring.

It also looks like she has some healthy leftovers too, which she does have in a reusable container. I'd also be willing to bet there is some protein in there too.

There are more pics of Cammie and her healthy snack, not to mention her cute (and simple) headbands, so read more

The Beach Is a Workout Waiting to Happen

FitSugar — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:30:00 -0700

Who doesn't love spending time at the beach? Cameron is one starlet that takes advantage of all the beach has to offer. I love that she doesn't just lounge on the sand, but plays in the water practically non-stop. Which is great since I believe the beach is a workout waiting to happen.

If you are lucky enough to live near the ocean or will be vacationing soon by the shore, you too should take advantage of all the beach has to offer. If you want a hard core workout try the Beach Body Workout on the beach. But let me tell you, there are more casual and playful ways to burn some extra calories while hanging out at the shore.

Here are some ideas:

Walking in the Sand: Sand provides way less traction than concrete sidewalk or asphalt roads. So take advantage of your disadvantage and walk the beach. Do walk in both wet and dry sand to challenge your body in different ways. There will be good people watching to entertain you too. Who knows maybe you will even see some wildlife.

Walking in the Surf: Just walking in ankle deep water is a great challenge. Add the ebb and flow of the tide and you have yourself a great lower body workout.

Playing in the Waves: Jumping up and down in the surf is great fun and a challenge to your entire body. Diving under waves and swimming against the tide is a great way to workout with the ocean providing extra resistance.

There's more to do at the beach, and there are more photos of Cameron frolicking in the waves. So just read more
Swimming: Swim out past the break and try some laps in the ocean. The current creates a natural challenge. Make sure you stay in sight range of the lifeguard. Remember: If you can't see the guards, they can't see you.

Body Surfing: Riding the waves without a board is a fun way to experience the ocean. You don't need any gear, although fins do help. eHow tips on body surfing are very helpful - check them out.

So get out there! Play in the waves - it is a great way to help maintain your beach body. Plus, it won't feel like a workout, it will just feel like fun.

How the Stars Get Bikini Ready

FitSugar — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 03:30:00 -0700

Life & Style is reporting on how our favorite stars are getting bikini ready this year. Looks like they are turning to Brazil. Brazilian trainer and author of The Brazilian Bikini Body Program, Regina Joseph, gives us the scoop.

Drew practices Pilates! Forget dieting! Drew Barrymore prefers to burn calories with a workout that includes Pilates, one of the most popular pastimes in Brazil. For a complete cardio session, fitness pro Joseph details a combo of core Pilates moves and capoeira (a Brazilian martial art that includes cartwheels, kicks and flips) in her book.
Cam eats early in the day! An always active Cameron Diaz gets going with a protein-packed breakfast of eggs and meat. "The beginning and middle of the day are when you need a big burst of energy," says Joseph. "In Brazil, evening meals are smaller and lighter." That leaves plenty of room for desert!
Denise's smart snack! "I need foods that energize me," says Denise Richards, who revs up on the Amazon-grown acai berry (now available in stores like Whole Foods Market. Says Joseph, "An Acai smoothie provides enough fiber and protein to last until lunch."
Kristen never feels hungry! "I stopped dieting because it made me binge," Kristen Cavallari tells Life & Style. The reality show alum solved her dieting dilemma by opting for smaller, more frequent meals (she snacks on almonds) to curb her cravings. Explains Joseph, "Meals and snacks spaced throughout the day help keep blood sugar up."
Gisele fills up on fruit! Brazilian-born Gisele Bundchen can thank her homeland for her supermodel bod. The Victoria's secret stunner says her fav foods are tropical fruits from her country - which she considers to be the "best place to live."

Get the Look: Cameron Diaz

FitSugar — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 07:30:00 -0700

Recently PopSugar has spotted Cameron Diaz going to the gym a lot. Yet another reason why I love Cameron.

One thing I noticed though, Cammie and I have the same taste in head bands (I always knew we were similar - woo hoo!). Turns out that neither of us will hit the gym without a Cotton Head Band ($8.00) from American Apparel. These great and versatile head bands come in 24 colors and they're stretchy enough to hold your hair back but loose enough that you won't feel like your brain is being squeezed out while you're exercising. The head bands are totally washable so the more you sweat the better. The best part? They are only $8.00! So buy one (or five) online at AmericanApparel.net.

There are more pics of Cameron gym ready in her head bands as well as some more sample color choice options, read more
