Cameron Diaz says that plenty of sexercise it the reason the reason her figure is so amazing.

Newlywed Cameron, 42, revealed that she and her new husband Benji Madden, 35, are keeping things active between the sheets because sex is a vital part of a healthy lifestyle.

“It’s something healthy that we need to be doing for many different reasons,” Cameron said in an interview with UK’s Cosmopolitan.

It’s not only sexercise that Cameron uses to keep fit though, as she says she has to work at it to keep in shape.

“You have to just do it. Once you commit and really put in the effort, your body goes, ‘Oh, it’s not OK to be without this.’ People say, ‘My body rejects exercise.’ No, it doesn’t. Your mind rejects exercise,” she said.

In spite of this though, Cameron says that she never denies herself the occasional treat.

“Wellbeing is an equation,” she continued. “Remember, you don’t have to have the whole cake, you can have a piece. Don’t deprive yourself. Have fun. Just be self-aware.”

Newlyweds Cameron and Benji couldn’t keep their hands off one another when spotted out for the first time together after tying the knot!

Just as all good nutritionists and fitness experts advise, Cam says it’s all about moderation.

“If your equation is 80 per cent good, 20 per cent bad most of the time, then a little movement toward the centre isn’t going to affect you much.”

It’s not the first time that Cameron has spoken openly about her belief that sex forms a vital part of an active lifestyle.

In 2010 she told UK’s Vogue that “The fountain of youth [for me], let’s see…I guess it’s exercise, healthy diet, lots of water, lots of laughter, lots of sex — yes, sex, we need that as human beings.”

You gotta love Cameron’s refreshingly healthy and shameless attitude! As she said: “It’s healthy, it’s natural, it’s what we are here to do!”
