Britney famously sang "You want a hot body? You better work, bitch" and it seems she is really living by that motto these days.

The 90s' icon works out every single day and does a combination of cardio and light weight lifting - and posts the evidence on her Instagram page.

While she told Shape magazine she does two 90-minute yoga classes a week, and credits the stretch classes with keeping her toned. These are her favourite poses.

A quick scan of Britney's Instagram page reveals she's a big fan of press up, squats, pull-ups and sit-ups (doing up to 1,000 a day of the latter).

The good news is, all these exercises can be done at home, without any need for pricey gym memberships.

Britney first wowed with her toned bod in 2015, ahead of a new residency in Las Vegas.

She enlisted celeb trainer Tony Martinez, the man who once helped Janet Jackson shed a huge 4st 4lb in just four months, for the skinny mission.

His motto? "Workout smarter, not longer". Sounds good to us.

Britney worked out with Tony three or four times a week, doing "intense" 40-minute workouts, according to the Mail Online.

Workouts included running backwards, playing tennis and skateboarding. She also did lots of dancing, obviously.

Tony doesn't believe in crash diets, and recommends a goal of losing one to three pounds a week.

In December 2014, when she was working towards her Vegas goal, Britney wrote a workout schedule for Women's Health.

She explained that her breakfasts consist of scrambled egg whites on wholemeal toast, or a protein shake with milk.

Last year, a source told Now magazine Britney had cut out frappuccinos, Cheetos chips, chips and burgers completely.

 She's also cut out all her favourite junk foods, and eats a healthy breakfast of scrambled egg whites on wholemeal toast before working out

"She's banned bread virtually altogether. But it's all about moderation – if she does have a chocolate bar or a slice of pizza, she'll work harder at the gym," they added.

"She's doing 1,000 crunches a day to get her abs perfect – she doesn't quite have her stomach back to where it was before her kids, but it's almost there."

Britney's reported to have membership at five different gyms, so she can workout wherever she is.
