Spice Girls: who has the better post-baby body?

It's a Spice Girls post-baby body battle according to Closer mag

Round 1: Mel B (Scary Spice) can't believe Mel C (Sporty Spice) needs a personal trainer to lose her baby weight.

The 34-year-old singer was shocked when she discovered her fellow Spice Girls star had hired an expert to help get her figure back after giving birth to baby Scarlet in February.

"I read about Mel C's post-baby fitness regime and thought, 'Good on her! I was surprised she has a trainer though, because she's always been so good at doing her own workouts and training - she is Sporty Spice after all."

Mel B is now famous for her toned physique and her crazy relationship dramas with Eddie Murphy.

She explained: "It's really important to take things slowly when you've had a baby because your body has been through so much. After Angel, I went for long walks and got back into weights and cardio only when I felt up to it. I found breastfeeding really helps the weight fall off too."

So does that explain why she had lipo after having her second baby?

No hombirth for Sporty Spice

Charlotte Church, 22, gave birth to her second child, a boy, at home on Sunday. The young mum has spoken out a number of times this year about her positive homebirthing experiences.

There will be no homebirth for former Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm. Due in February, the singer is freaking out thanks to some not so supportive words by fellow bandmate Mel B (Scary Spice). "Mel B has been talking me through all the fine details of giving birth and has told me loads of horror stories," she said. "Well, she is Scary, isn't she? So I suppose it's her job to scare me a bit."

"I want to give birth in hospital, rather than at home, just in case something goes wrong - especially as it's my first," she says.

Scary Spice: on 'bouncing back' and baby weight

Rumours abound that Victoria Beckham has told her fellow Spice Girls to shape up or else in preparation for their upcoming reunion tour. According to the Sunday Mirror, Mel B (Scary Spice) has lost more than 2.5 stone since the birth of her daughter in April. Apparently the paternity suit with Eddie Murphy hasn't interfered with her 6 days per week workouts and in fact, started her workouts only 5 days after the birth, determined to shed the weight.

According to her trainer she's done it with a strict diet and exercise regimen using the Brazilian combination of martial arts and dance called Capoeira, traditional martial arts, yoga, water exercises, and lunges.

Her trainer, Joey Kormier says:
"Plus the right food and nutrition are vitally important. Everything Mel eats is organic, and she has flax seed oil, and salmon at least three a week, which help burn stomach fat."

Mel was 11 stone in pregnancy and is now back to 9 stone just in time for American's Dancing With the Stars.
