10 steps to get MEL B'S BODY
LOOK AS FABULOUS AS THE SPICE GIRL IN YOUR BIKINI THIS YEAR WITH OUR TOP BODY-SHAPING TIPS
By Laura Bond
The Spice Girls tour may be over but Mel B's still making the most of her amazing new shape.
Spotted in a bikini on the beach in Miami last week, it's hard to believe the mum of two lost 3st in only eight weeks.
After her amazing appearance on US show Dancing With The Stars, it seems the secret behind Mel's super-toned body is starting her diet and exercise regime just five days after giving birth to Angel Iris in April last year.
The Spice Girl's weight loss may sound dramatic but her trainer Joey Kormier insists it was entirely healthy, due to the mix of workouts and carefully planned meals.
Follow our 10 steps below and you could achieve Mel's fab shape in no time...
DANCING
With all the dancing on The Spice Girls tour and Dancing With The Stars, the inches literally fell off Mel. So why not join a local salsa or belly-dancing class for a fun and sociable way to get a super-toned body?
KICKBOXING
Trainer Joey gets Mel to build up a sweat with kickboxing sessions. This cross between martial arts and western-style boxing is perfect for general fitness and stamina.
YOGA
For a more relaxed approach to toning your body and soothing your soul, do as The Spice Girl does and take part in a bit of stress-lowering yoga.
SLENDERTONE FLEX BOTTOM AND THIGH TONING SYSTEM
This is quick and easy fix to getting Mel's firm and toned muscles. You can tone up while relaxing and think about what bikini to wear.
STOMACH CRUNCHES
Get killer abs like Mel's with this basic tummy exercise - you can do them in your bedroom.
30/40/30
According to Mel's trainer, her diet was planned around the idea that 30 per cent of what she ate was protein, such as chicken or fish, 40 per cent was wholewheat or vegetables and 30 per cent of it was monosaturated fat, such as mackerel or salmon. This will help burn carbs quickly and uses fat cells to provide energy, helping you lose weight.
WEIGHTS
Get yourself a pair of dumb-bells for a sure way to lose fat, while sculpting your body so it's tight, toned and ready for the beach.
WALKING
Mel may have been hiking up in the Hollywood hills but walking to work is just as beneficial, and it's free! A pedometer is a great motivational tool - it counts your steps and the number of calories you burn too.
PROTEIN SHAKES
Kick start your day like Mel with a protein shake. It's the building block of muscle, helps you lose weight and tones your body. They can taste great too - just like a normal milk shake.
POWER PLATE
This exercise machine reduces a full body workout to just 15 minutes and with three sessions a week, you'll be well on your way to losing those pounds and getting a bikini body.
