ASHLEY GREENE'S AMAZINGLY TONED LEGS FROM PILATES

One of the world's favourite good vampires, actress Ashley Greene, was a vision in white at the premiere of her latest movie 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones', in Hollywood on Monday (see photo above). Greene's super-toned thighs stole the show as they peeked out of a beautiful mini-dress. How does she get these amazing legs, you may be wondering? Lots of exercise! 

Ashley works out 5-6 times a week, every week. She practises Pilates, yoga, martial arts, strength-training and cardio exercise. The actress's very athletic body (as can be seen in the Women's Health photo above) is also due to eating well, however she reveals that she refuses to starve herself or put her body through severe fad diets. 

"I don't do the diet thing anymore," Greene told Women's Health. "I'm a big believer in feeding your body what it needs. Deny yourself something, and you're going to end up shoving your face full of it."

Greene has received some slack over the past three years, as she has slimmed down quite considerably. However Ashley informs that she does not want to be a size 0 (Australian size 6). "A lot of people like to be super-tiny, but I don't want a child's body," she said. "I want a woman's body that is extremely fit. It's so much sexier."

Another way Ashley maintains her trim physique is that she does not drink often, for a few reasons. "I keep to the ground rules: I’m not going to get drunk at a bar," she said. "There are younger girls who look up to me, so I do my best not to stray too far. I definitely try to be a positive role model."

The stunning actress has no idea what is in store for her in the future. Greene says that whilst the 'Twilight' movie series did provide her with very valuable exposure to Hollywood, she still has to fight to receive good movie roles. "It has always been hard, but it is now very competitive," she said. "It's hard to break out, and it is still hard for me. I am fighting for my next job. Nothing is set in stone".We wish you all the best Ashley!

KHLOE KARDASHIAN TWEETS ABOUR HER LOVE OF PILATES

Khloe Kardashian, youngest sister on the hit Keeping Up with the Kardashian's TV show, has shocked viewers recently with her incredible slim down. The wife of basketball player Lamar Odom credits regular Pilates and boxing to her new toned shape. The 28-year-old revealed her exercise regime to US Weekly magazine; "I love to box. I'm good at it. Boxing keeps me entertained and you just shed weight...I also switch it up because I get really bored. So I do a lot of Pilates."

Khloe has always been very vocal and likes to use twitter to express her views on love, life and exercise. The photos above clearly show that she has been working hard to tone up her body and has been tweeting updates to keep herself and others motivated. Here's what she had to say this past week on her favourite topic of the moment; Pilates. 

“I can't believe I missed my Pilates class this am! Ugh.... I must do some cardio today!!! Talking myself into this process." Khloe followed this up with a tweet later in the afternoon saying that she had in fact fitted in a cardio workout. Clearly she is serious about improving her health with exercise and does not want to make skipping a workout a regular thing. Good on you Khloe, as we all know that it is very difficult to motivate yourself to do a workout on any given day! 

“I am in so much pain but I keep going back! Pilates, I might curse at you but once I'm done I always thank you." Just shows that Pilates can be a very tough workout to everyone out there who has not tried it yet! 

Khloe also tweeted on April 1 that she initially got addicted to Pilates as a way to reduce her stress but that she now loves it. 

We love celebrities like Khloe that lose weight in a healthy way with a balanced diet and frequent exercise. It is great to see her celebrate her slim down and her stronger body as she has struggled with her weight publicly for years. We are sure that she will never get bored with her challenging Pilates classes!
