Cameron Diaz, who last appeared in 2014’s Annie, surprised everyone by coming out of retirement to co-star with Jamie Foxx in the upcoming Netflix action comedy film appropriately titled Back in Action. But to no one’s surprise, she still looks fit and trim. The A-lister was one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood for decades but stepped away after Annie to make time and space for personal reasons, including raising a family. Still, the Something About Mary star clearly took time to stay fit and looks happy and healthy. Read on to see five ways Cameron Diaz stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Sweats Every Day

Diaz wrote The Body Book: The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Amazing Body, about " the essential role of movement, the importance of muscle and bone strength and why we need to sweat a little every day." Sweating can cure or improve some organ diseases, the National Library of Medicine said, adding, “Persian medicine physicians believed that sweating, hot and dry baths, and diaphoretic herbs [are] a simple, safe, and affordable method … to prevent and treat diseases."

2. She Does Interval Cardio

"What you want to do when you do cardio is be a fire hydrant like in New York City that just got busted open, and you're pouring out after, and everybody gets wet," Diaz told Oprah. "I get on my elliptical, and I do intervals.” “Interval training can give you the benefits of exercise in less time,” said Howard Knuttgen, research associate in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard University-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. “If you can reduce your moderate 30-minute workout to 15 or 20 minutes of interval training, the cardiovascular benefit should be about the same.”

3. She Loves to Cook

Diaz loves being in the kitchen whipping up delicious food and sharing the recipes with her 9.5 million Instagram followers. People who cook meals at home eat healthier and consume fewer calories than those who cook less, according to new Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health research.

4. She Eats Plenty of Veggies

Diaz uses fresh vegetables in every dish and loads up on greens such as kale. Using more fruits and vegetables, along with whole grains, lean meats, nuts, and beans, is a safe and healthy way to lose or maintain weight, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

5. She Enjoys Healthy Snacking

Diaz likes a good summer salad and posted an Instagram video making a healthy one as a snack. "Hey y’all, just cookin’ a summer snack. It’s a quick pan-roasted corn and fresh pea salad with feta cheese and a champagne orange and garlic vinaigrette. Pairs well with @avaline white wine !! Hope you enjoy!" Harvard Health said the benefits of snacking include the following.

  • “Provides a boost of energy if several hours pass between meals and blood glucose levels drop.
  • Helps curb appetite to prevent overeating at the next meal.
  • Provides extra nutrients when choosing certain snacks such as fresh fruit or nuts.
  • Can help maintain adequate nutrition if a person has a poor appetite or cannot eat full meals because of illness or other factors.”

Cameron Diaz is aging gracefully. The 49-year-old made an appearance on pal Drew Barrymore’s Instagram feed, looking just as gorgeous as ever.

Read on to see 8 ways Cameron Diaz stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!

1. She Is “Finally Taking Care Of” Herself

“I just decided that I wanted different things out of my life,” Diaz told pal Gwyneth Paltrow in 2020 on her “In Goop Health: The Sessions.” “I’d gone so hard for so long, working and making films, and it’s such a grind. I didn’t really make any space for my personal life. And then I decided to stop making movies and really focus on my personal life, my personal relationships with my family, with my friends." She explained that when making movies she felt “owned” and that she didn’t have time for anything else. “I realized I handed off parts of my life to all these other people. … I needed to become self-sufficient again, you know. I really needed to know that I could take care of myself and that I knew how to be an adult,” she continued. “I got a peace in my soul because I finally was taking care of myself."

2. She Makes Her Life “Manageable”

In an interview with Kevin Hart earlier this year, the actress explained that she doesn’t need a lot of help anymore. "I just really wanted to make my life manageable by me," she explained. "My routine in a day is literally what I can manage to do by myself. It's the best feeling. I feel whole."

3. Her Family Is “The Most Fulfilling Thing”

Cameron told Yahoo Finance that forming a family is "the most fulfilling thing" she's ever done. "[To] have a family and be married and have our little nucleus of a family — it's just completely the best thing," she said. "I don't have what it takes to give making a movie what it needs to be made. All of my energy is here."

4. She Eats to Nourish

Cameron loves to cook nourishing food, sharing video cooking tutorials on her social media. Many of her recipes involve using whatever you have in the fridge, like her “whatever-you-got-ramen”

What is Diaz’s favorite part of aging? “What I ​have to offer the people around me, the wisdom I have gained through the experiences I have had, and looking forward to all of the years I have ahead of me,” she told Goop.

6. This Is Her Secret to Healthy Aging

Cameron’s mantra is “aging is living,” she revealed to Goop, adding that “knowledge and acceptance” are the key to healthy aging. “We only know it from what we see on the surface, not on a cellular level. All aging is a result of our trillions of cells aging, and once you understand the science, it gets way less scary,” she explained. In her opinion there are a few things that lead to premature aging: Stress, inflammation, lack of movement, poor nutrition, lack of sleep, not ​being connected to the people you love.​

7. Her Exercise of Choice? Strength Training

Cameron revealed to Goop that her favorite way to break a sweat is via strength training. She also maintains that if you do “the right kind of cardio” you don’t need to do anything else. “Your most important muscle in your body is your heart,” she explained in a video for OWN.

8. She Drinks Vino

Cameron recently launched her own wine, Avaline. The “clean, delicious” wine is made out of organic grapes, no “unwanted” additives and is vegan and contains less than one gram of sugar.

Country darling Carrie Underwood ditched calorie counting and instead started keeping track of macros. “I would ‘fall off the wagon,’ then feel terrible and repeat the cycle,” she explained to Women’s Health about her struggles with trying to stay slim in her younger years, sometimes eating as few as 800 calories per day. “Your body is screaming ‘I need more calories. I need more carbs!’" The “wannabe vegan” works with nutritionist Cara Clark, focusing on maintaining a healthy balance of 25 percent protein, 45 percent carbs and 30 percent fat. "I love rules," she admitted to Women’s Health.

2. Jennifer Lopez: Work Out “Harder and Smarter”

Jennifer Lopez has adapted her fitness regiment over the years. However, instead of working out more, she is smarter about her workouts. "In my 20s and 30s I used to work out but not like I do now. It's not that I work out more; I just work out harder and smarter,” she told InStyle. “And it doesn't take me as long as it did in the past. I do it more for my health than I do for looks, which is funny. When you do things for the right reasons, you actually look better!"

3. Vanessa Hudgens: Work Out with Others

Vanessa Hudgens can afford to pay a personal trainer for one-on-one workouts, but opts for group fitness and workout buddies instead. "I'm the type of person that needs to be in a class," Vanessa told Popsugar. "I need someone telling me what to do, and I love being in a group environment because I'm very competitive, so it pushes me to work harder than I would if I was by myself." The 32-year-old is a devotee of The Dogpound, a hardcore boot camp style studio The Dogpound she regularly visits with her friends. "HOT GIRL SUMMER IN FULL EFFECT," the gym recently wrote on Instagram, sharing a video of sweating alongside GG Magree in an intense HIIT workout.

4. Rebel Wilson: Approach Weight Loss From All Sides...Including Emotional

Working out and eating right are only part of the equation to weight loss, per actress Rebel Wilson, who lost a whopping 60 pounds in less than a year. While she majorly revamped her diet and embarked on a fitness routine, it was the work she did on the instead that helped her achieve her goals. "I think because I approached it from all areas ... the biggest thing that I haven't ever worked on was the emotional side, what I suffered from, I guess, as classical emotional eating … so I really worked on that side," she told Extra.

5. Rita Ora: Focus On Strength, Not Weight Loss

Instead of trying to lose weight or get to a certain clothing size, Rita Ora suggests putting your focus on getting stronger. "I didn't start working out to get skinnier—I started working out to feel better. And I think it's important for women to know that,” she told Shape. “Don't be obsessed with being thin. You just have to be fit, healthy, and strong," she said. "I love my shape because it's curvy. I have thighs. I'm a size 28 in jeans. And that's an average, normal size. I'm proud that I'm normal."

6. Kate Hudson: Move a Little Every Day

Kate Hudson has always been devoted to fitness. One of her stay-fit secrets? She moves every day. "Now that Rani is getting a little bit older and her nap schedule is longer, I've been able to work out at least 30 minutes a day, maybe five times a week,” she told InStyle. “I make sure that I don't go a day without doing something for 30 minutes. I've been doing that since April and I've noticed enormous changes in my body."

7. Jessica Simpson: Get Your Steps In

After tipping the scales at 240 pounds during her pregnancy with third child, Birdie Mae, Jessica Simpson started walking her way to a 100-pound weight loss with the help of trainer Harley Pasternak. He started off by setting her goal at 6,000 steps and then eventually upping it to 14,000. "It had to be more than just getting back from her baby weight, but how do I keep whatever I am doing now forever. That's why we are not a big fan of doing any extreme diet or radical forms of exercise,” he told E! about the weight loss strategy he developed for the star, which also included healthy eating, sleep, and full body workouts. “Woke up before all 3 kiddos to get my steps in and spend time with me, myself, and I. Move move move for your own mental health,” she captioned a 2020 Instagram post.

8. Halle Berry: You Have to Commit

Halle Berry, 54, looks half her age. According to the star, her biggest secret to staying in shape is her commitment to healthy living, including workouts with her trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, diet tips, and healthy living mantras. “You just have to have the will and the desire,” she told Harper’s Bazaar about what it takes to stay fit. “And you have to make up your mind that it's important. That's the hard work that people have to do."

9. Nicole Scherzinger: Everything in Moderation

"Don't deprive yourself of anything because eventually you'll crave it and then you might binge on it. Everything in moderation," Nicole Scherzinger told Women's Health UK about her dietary rule. "For breakfast I love eggs and toast and smoked salmon or bacon, or porridge. For lunch I like maybe some soup or some sushi. For dinner, anything from pasta to rice, and meats and veggies, to sushi. When I'm going to indulge, I love pasta, pizza, I love Mexican with lots of cheese. I love French fries, or crisps – salt and vinegar crisps. In terms of snacks: almonds, coconut water, bits of coconut, baby carrots."

10. Gabrielle Union: Don’t Commit to One Workout Only

Gabrielle Union allows her workout routine to evolve. "As the workout phases come and go, I'll try everything," she previously told Women's Health. "Nothing, not one thing, has stuck. I've tried kickboxing, cardio barre, I've tried a SoulCycle class...I'm not a class person." In a 2019 Instagram post, she also revealed that her motivations for exercise are also evolving. “There are times I workout for a job or specific athletic goals but usually I workout to maintain my peace. Sometimes i grunt, grimace, scream...many times I've cried while training. I've cried due to frustration. I've cried from physical pain. Many times I've cried as my fears and anxiety leave my body. For me, I'm always working out my spirit and exercising my soul. This morning felt like the end of a week of taking Ls, but today I got up and reminded myself that even when I lose, I win because I'm committed to learning and evolving,” she wrote.

Jennifer Lopez celebrated the holiday weekend – in the sun. The sultry-at-53 star shows off her famous figure in one of her latest social media posts, sitting poolside in the Hamptons. “Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend filled with love, family, friends and fun,” she captioned the curation of Instagram photos and videos. How does the star maintain her fit physique? Read on to see 5 ways Jennifer Lopez stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Dance Cardio

Jen, who runs and lifts to stay in shape, also gets her cardio in at the studio. "I've been dancing a lot over the past two months as I'm gearing up for my album to come out, so that's taken over as my main fitness routine," she told Popsugar.

2. Her Workouts Have Evolved

Jennifer switches up her workout routine as she ages. “In my 20s and 30s I used to work out but not like I do now,” she explained in InStyle’s 2021 The Beauty Issue. “It's not that I work out more; I just work out harder and smarter. And it doesn't take me as long as it did in the past. I do it more for my health than I do for looks, which is funny. When you do things for the right reasons, you actually look better!”

3. She Hydrates

Jennifer’s trainer Dodd Romero once revealed that she “drinks a minimum of seven glasses a day,” he told US Weekly. "Incorporating hydration into my day is a top priority for me as it helps me perform my best. For me, hydration is key to keep me going and have energy to do everything I am asking my body to do," she added to Popsugar.

4. She Maintains a Healthy Diet

“You got to work out, you got to watch what you eat,” Jennifer confessed to Us Weekly about her approach to staying in shape. “It’s a job— you’ve got to buckle down.” Per Dodd her diet consists of a lot of protein, vegetables, fats, carbohydrates and water. Additionally, she “stays away from processed foods and gets her nutrients from whole sources.” Egg whites, white meat turkey, chicken breast and grass-fed beef three to four times a week serve as her main protein sources. Healthy fats in the form of fish like salmon and sea bass packed with high levels of omega-3s and 6s and “a handful” of nuts per day are also go-to foods. She also eats lots of veggies and complex carbs like sweet potatoes, brown rice, quinoa, rice bread and oatmeal, which she’ll eat with fresh berries.

5. She Makes a Choice to Be Healthy, Every Single Day

"I always find a way to prioritize my physical and mental health,” Jennifer told Popsugar about her commitment to health. "Working out is a choice that I make every day, and I feel that it unlocks the best version of myself. I've had to perform at a high level for many years, so it's important to find the right balance to go harder and to get better without compromising things that are important to me."

Teri Hatcher has always kept fitness top of mind, never more so than in her 50s (she's now 57). "Exercise has become a source of well being not a means to look good naked," she wrote once. "So why actually post a pic of myself in a bikini? Well, this is my truth and being in this 55 year old body actually feels liberating. Here’s the thing. I’ve finally figured out how to be comfortable in my own skin. Maybe not every day but a lot of them. Age allows you to be clear on your purpose and cherish who and what you are grateful for. You have enough age to see the miracle of life and enough youth to revel in that knowledge. You can be vulnerable and strong at the same time. You can forgive others and yourself. You are willing to put in the effort to reach a goal...or not. And that’s okay. Mostly, you know to make the most of every moment. For me that is sharing joy & positivity, knowledge I’ve gained through experience both successes and failures, and helping to lift others up. Sharing myself in a bikini (which I may or may not ever wear again) Is me Being open to others, open to life... finding glorious connection and community. No filters, no makeup, no airbrushing, no negativity. Be strong enough to be vulnerable." How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Teri Hatcher stays in shape.

1. Exercise Is Important To Her

She cares more about making exercise a way of living and a means to better health, than just a way to look good. "Exercise has become a source of well being, not a means to look good naked,” she said. According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), “the ideal workout regimen balances cardiovascular work and strength training. Their guidelines recommend 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity each week or vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for a minimum of 20 minutes three days a week. Additionally, you should do strength training twice a week.”

2. With Age Came A Clear Mind

Age doesn’t matter, it’s all about how you feel and your mental health. “Age allows you to be clear on your purpose and cherish who and what you are grateful for,” she said. “For me that is sharing joy & positivity, knowledge I’ve gained through experience both successes and failures, and helping to lift others up.”

3. Exercise Is A Way Of Life

She stays in a good place mentally. "I feel the most beautiful when I am being my most authentic self," she said. "When I'm treating myself well, eating right, exercising, being creative, and being social with a community of people that I really care about—all of those things drive towards self-acceptance."

4. She Ran A Marathon

She ran a marathon to challenge her athletic ability. “Something about the ups and downs of training for such a physical feat as a marathon — that sort of vulnerability, the adversity that you have to get through and pushing through walls together — and having that experience as a team; it’s just a bonding thing that you can’t really replace or have from any other experience. And I think we both wanted that together,” she said.

5. She Stays Hydrated

She aims to drink nearly three liters of water daily. "I did it on the advice of a nutritionist and a week after I had so many of my friends ask, 'What are you doing to your skin? It looks amazing.' I couldn't think of anything different other than the water,” she said.

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."
