Pop queen and Pilates fanatic MADONNA has given Britney Spears ‘ new single the ultimate endorsement – she works out to it every day.

The Material Girl visits a private gym near her London home every day for a grueling Pilates training session, and she loves working up a sweat to the soundtrack of Spears’ new track Break The Ice.

Speaking to New York radio station Z-100 FM, in an interview Madonna revealed, “I actually love Britney Spears’ new album… I usually work out to her record. I do a combination of Pilates and dance aerobics.”Spears on the other hand reportedly works out to Madonna tunes says Spears’ trainer, Manny Bujold who revealed how Britney Spears has lost 26 pounds and lost another 12 pounds in little more than a month after her pregnancy.

“She works extremely hard,” says Bujold. Two to four days each week, at Spears’ home in Beverly Hills, the trainer works two hours with the 5-foot-4 Britney.

Spears also torches the calories (up to 1,500 an hour) with jazz and hip-hop dance classes at North Hollywood’s Millennium Dance Complex. “Her body was in phenomenal shape,” says instructor Darrien Henning.
As for Britney Spears’ diet, she has swapped the Cheetos for healthy sushi (she’s a fan of the California rolls at L.A.’s SHU sushi) and eats six mini-meals a day.
“She likes the Pilates-style body: lean muscles, very toned,” says Bujold.

In her smash hit “The American Dream” Spears sang about her Pilates workouts

“I do yoga and Pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So I’m checking out the bodies
And you know I’m satisfied”

Spears, featured on the cover of People’s Magazine told the interviewer she working out by doing cardio, Pilates, yoga and weights in addition to going for long walks with her baby. She has to keep it relatively light on the cardio workouts because of a knee injury from 2004.
