Rock Hard Abs:Image Skinny vs. Curvy

Mel B was in great shape when she was on Dancing With The Stars in 2007 but she has managed to get into even better shape now. With Mel’s new found interest in a fit life she plans to release her own fitness DVD and has landed a deal with lingerie label Ultimo.

Mel achieved this look by working out three times a week for 90 minutes. Each workout is pretty intense and includes strength training as well as high impact cardio. To keep the workouts interesting she also incorporated swimming, capoiera, yoga and walking in the park. It’s important to push your body to other levels so it does not hit a plateau. If you want ab’s like Mel, follow the step by step tips below.

Want Washboard Abs Like Mel's? Follow These Top Diet Tips
1. Reduce your salt intake. Instead of adding salt to food for added flavour, which instantly causes water retention, season your meal with herbs.

2. To help zap stomach fat, eat protein-rich oily fish like salmon and mackerel at least three times per week like Mel, and make sure to include flaxseed oil in your diet.

3. Swap fizzy drinks for mineral water, making sure to drink at least two litres per day to keep the belly bloat at bay.

4. Ditch refined foods like white bread and regular pasta as these can make you store fat. Instead, opt for low GI wholemeal varieties, making sure portion size is no bigger than your fist.

5. Make sure your main evening meal is packed with lean protein rather than heavy carbs, and try to eat before 8pm to avoid going to bed on a full stomach.
