Feeling the burn: Mel B and two fitness instructors do some squats


As the 'face' for a fitness group, Mel B has to practice what she preaches and here she is being put through her paces.

Scary Spice, in black and lime green gym wear, looked svelte as she filmed a video in a London park with two fitness instructors last week.

The mother-of-two, 35, who was also wearing a pair of bright pink trainers and had her extremely long hair loose, is fronting a new set of classes for Fitness First.

It includes a boxing-style warm-up and full body workout which will help those striving for the star's enviable washboard stomach.

The former singer is also said to be in talks to be a judge on the U.S. version of X Factor, which starts next year.

But she was also tipped to take part in the UK show while Dannii Minogue was off on maternity leave and it never happened.

The position was filled by a range of stars including Katy Perry, Geri Halliwell, Pixie Lott, Natalie Imbruglia and Nicole Scherzinger.

Despite now living in LA most of the year, she is also endorsing its International Fitness Week for the third year in a row.

Melanie, who is originally from Leeds, lives there with second husband movie producer Stephen Belafonte and their family.

She has an 11-year-old daughter Phoenix by first husband Jimmy Gulzar and three-year-old Angel with actor Eddie Murphy.

The couple, who have been married for three years, are said to be talking about having a child of their own sometime next year.

Meanwhile, the former Spice Girl is also working on the band's musical Viva Forever which is being written by Jennifer Saunders.

Her reality series Mel B: It's A Scary World about her family life in LA is currently being shown on Style.
