We reveal how to get the physiques of  the stars. This week: Cameron Diaz's arms.

Super-fit Cameron Diaz once avoided exercise. It wasn't until her mid-20s when filming Charlie's Angels that the actress, now 41, became hooked on exercise.

She surfs, swims, hikes and goes to the gym regularly. She says she trains hard to stay svelte. Cameron also sometimes runs a mile as fast as she can.

What to try: The upright row exercise is a great way to tone the bicep muscles in the front of the arm as well as the shoulders.

You will need a set of dumbbells or bottles of water or sand.

 

More...

Stand upright holding a weight in each hand. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart and your hips square to the front. Lift the weights towards your chest by bending your elbows and then raising them outwards.

Raise until your upper arms are level with your shoulders and the weights are at chest height. Return to the start position and repeat 12 to 15 times.
As you get fitter, try two to three sets with a 60-second break between each.

The best advice for women to get those arms is don't be afraid to lift heavy.

Truth, and to show that muscle, you've got to build muscle and lose fat. Don't be afraid to build that muscle.
