LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash - FlashNews) – Shaking your booty can do a body good.

That’s what former Spice Girl Melanie Brown found out after giving birth to her second child and competing on Dancing With The Stars to regain her pre-baby body.

Now, Scary Spice is helping others shed weight as host of the new season of Dance Your Ass Off, premiering June 7 on Oxygen, where pudgy contestants get fit by dancing.

Brown can “sympathize and empathize” with their struggle since she used dance to drop the pounds like they were hot, and assures that getting down to ditties is the best workout.

She says, “You can do it with a hairbrush in front of a mirror or while out with your friends. Everybody loves dancing, and it motivates you to work that weight off.”

Brown vouches for any music that gets people moving, whether it’s Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and, obviously, the Spice Girls.
