Melanie Brown (a.k.a. Mel B a.k.a. Scary Spice of the Spice Girls) will be the first to tell you that her stint on “Dancing With the Stars” in 2007 was a great way to lose weight. So she’s carrying over that idea as host of “Dance Your Ass Off,” a reality competition in which overweight contestants are judged on their dancing skills and how much weight they lose. The winner receives a prize of $100,000. The second season of “Dance Your Ass Off” premieres June 7 at 11 p.m. Eastern Time on Oxygen, and then begins its regular Monday time slot on June 14 at 10 p.m. Eastern Time.

Brown replaces Marissa Jaret Winokur, who hosted “Dance Your Ass off” in the show’s first season. It’s one of several changes for the show in its second season, says Brown, who recently spoke to journalists via a telephone conference call. During the interview, Brown (who came in second place on “Dancing With the Stars” Season 5) also talked about why so many dancing shows have been launched on TV; what kind of diet she recommends for people who go though an intense dance competition; and what surprised her the most about “Dance Your Ass Off.”

Mel B is enforcing her fitness credentials by teaming up with Fitness First for a second year running and becoming the face of International Fitness Week 2010.

Following the success of the campaign in the UK in 2009, the world’s largest health club group is rolling it out globally from February 1 – 7 next year to encourage the world to be a fitter place and become more active.

Mel B is fast becoming well known for her enviable figure and keen interest in fitness, following the success of her workout DVD ‘Totally Fit’, so it’s a great partnership.

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown is extremely eager to help people get fit – so much so that she wants to become a personal trainer.
The singer insists she is in the best shape of her life and after releasing her own fitness DVD, she wants to encourage people to shape up by working out with them on a personal basis, reports contactmusic.com

“Brown has never felt fitter, faster or stronger. Unlike some celebrities who endorse fad diets and daft fitness regimes, Mel is into old-fashioned sweat and tears to get results. She’s had a few PT (personal training) sessions and decided to get qualified herself and help others achieve the perfect body”, a source was quoted as saying.

The 34-year-old is apparently also preparing to start fitness classes soon.

“She’s launching a Totally Fit class, inspired by her best-selling DVD after becoming a Fitness First (British gym) ambassador. She’ll be working with industry experts to create a high-octane, fast-paced class, and will hopefully launch the programme herself, demonstrating to other instructors”, added the source.

Hi I’m Mel B and I’ve had a totally fantastic time putting this website together, and I can’t wait to get working out with you lot and getting you all Totally Fit!

We filmed the workout DVD’s in a beautiful setting in Malibu overlooking the Ocean over 5 gorgeous days in September. It was super hot and we worked up a real sweat during the shoot. On the DVD’s I’ll be inviting you into my home and sharing some of my favourite recipes, with cooking demos from yours truly, shot straight from my very own kitchen! I’ll also take you out and about in my car for a trip around L.A. to shop for some workout gear.

Working out and eating well are essential to my lifestyle, but I also love to go out for a run and a hike in the hills. I use a pedometer to calculate how many calories I burn, and I just strap it on at the beginning of each day, it’s so easy and it’s great to see the results at the end of the day, as it clocks everything! It’s a great way of pushing yourself to be extra active.

On this site you’ll find everything you need to get Totally Fit and I’ll be checking in on you on your progress, plus regularly updating my blog, so keep coming back, and make sure you keep me up to date on your Totally Fit journey!

Lots of love,

Mel x
