London, UK:
Hollywood actress Eva Mendes has become the new ambassador of footwear brand Reebok EasyTone. Following in the footsteps of supermodel Helena Christensen and British beauty Kelly Brook, the 'Hitch' star is the new face and body of the toning trainers, reported Contactmusic.
The 36-year-old brunette beauty admitted the sports footwear, which tone muscles in the legs and bottom as the wearer walks, are a vital part of her wardrobe as they allow her to get a "little extra" exercise as she goes about her life.
"I feel better when I'm in good shape, and that's what I like about Reebok EasyTone - it gives me a little extra as I go about my daily activities," said Mendes. "Between long days on the set and travel, it's not always possible to get a full workout in, so I have to make the time I have count. As an actress, being fit is important, and EasyTone is my great secret!"
Uli Becker, president of Reebok International, said Mendes was chosen as the new ambassador because she is "committed to fitness". Celebrity fans of the fitness footwear include Israeli model Bar Refaeli and pop star Nicole Scherzinger.
