Britney Spears To Release Workout DVDs As Inspired By Fitness Guru Jane Fonda

Britney Spears is set to release a series of workout DVDs. The "Womanizer" singer, who proudly showed off her newly toned figure at the MTV Video Music Awards last month, has been inspired by fitness guru Jane Fonda to don a Lycra leotard and help her fans get in shape.

A source said: "Britney wants to put out a series of workout videos. The idea was inspired by Britney's love of dance and how it helped her get back into shape. It seems Britney found her mom's old Fonda tapes, popped them into an old VCR machine and got a big kick out of watching them."

Although the 26-year-old star is yet to confirm her DVD venture, her record label has fueled the rumors.

A Jive/Zomba representative said: "The idea makes perfect sense, given Britney is a singer who uses dance so much in her act."

Britney is currently preparing to release her new album Circus on December 2 and is hoping it will be a huge success.

A source said: "Britney is telling everyone she doesn't just want to debut at number one, but she wants it to break all kinds of records for a new release."
