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.’

AUSSIE singer Natalie Imbruglia is loving life on the Gold Coast, nearly four weeks after she was scheduled to return to England.
As reported by CC on Saturday, Imbruglia has been seen regularly at Main Beach eatery DLish and before that at Noir at Palazzo Versace. She’s also been spotted pumping iron with personal trainers and on Friday was at surfing’s Quiksilver Pro.
Imbruglia, who has been on the Coast since before Christmas, has also spent her time at Summafieldayze, Byron Bay and shopping boutiques. While it was originally believed she returned to England a month ago, a source said she has been training hard, getting herself in tip-top shape. Imbruglia is so dedicated to her training that she was seen in the pouring rain at Miami headland last week, boxing and running up flights of stairs.

It looks like Natalie Imbruglia is getting back into the swing of single life.

After splitting from Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns in January, the singer seems to be concentrating on her appearance.

Natalie spent the morning power walking with a friend near her home in Windsor.

And perhaps she is hoping that blondes do have more fun, as the star has also bleached her hair, making a dramatic change to her usually brown locks.

The Australian actress, who sold her £2.2million mansion in Los Angeles last year, has told friends she has ruled out a reconciliation with Johns.

She is now considering selling her Spanish-style country house in Windsor to buy a smaller property she has found in Notting Hill, West London.
