She was voted one of the most naturally beautiful women of all time in 2004.But like any normal woman, Natalie Imbruglia has to work hard to keep her incredible figure.The Australian beauty was spotted being put through her paces by a tough personal trainer in Los Angeles.
Natalie, 36, puffed and sweated during the workout as she lifted 8kg weights, did lunges, boxed with her trainer and even struck a downward dog pose.
And there was no time for glamour during the rigorous session.The singer and actress opted for a comfortable T-shirt and track-pants and no make-up. And there was no assistant on hand to bring the equipment she needed – Natalie was spotted carrying her own yoga-style mat to the session.
Natalie is currently writing songs in LA for her fifth album, which is set for release next year. She is also the spokeswoman for the UN Campaign to End Fistula. Obstetric fistula is a hole in the birth canal which develops during an obstructed labor and can result in the loss of the baby and women in poor countries being shunned. It is reventable and easily treated but many poor women can’t afford the operation.
‘I’m very passionate about it,’ Natalie told AFP last week. ’I intend to continue my creative endeavours. I’m songwriting at the moment, in Los Angeles, and working on some other projects. ’But most importantly, we’re planning a trip to Africa and possibly India and elsewhere.’
The cause reportedly caught her eye in 2005, when friend Richard Branson urged her to harness her fame into activism. ’It just jumped out to me as a woman, and the fact that they didn’t seem to have anybody speaking for them.’ UN Population Fund chief Babatunde Osotimehin recently hailed her ‘extraordinary work to fight this terrible childbirth condition.’ ’Her travels across the globe and her efforts to raise money to support fistula rehabilitation centers and training for community educators are essential in bringing help and needed health care to women and girls.’
