Britney has had a bumpy ride in recent years but the vixen herself has proven all you doubters wrong in a new video which shows that those enviable abs are real and indeed her own.
After a year of heartache following the revelation that her two-timing ex boyfriend David Lucado had cheated on her, instead of heading straight for the ice cream, Britney shrugged off her breakup by working on her unbelievable physique.
The 33-year-old mother of two really has never looked better and whatever the critics say, here's the proof.
The Baby One More Time superstar, who is no doubt working up a sweat every night as part of her Piece Of Me Las Vegas residency at Sin City's Planet Hollywood, is back to her circa Slave 4 U self.
On the controversial cover, which as it turns out isn't controversial at all, Britney poses in nothing but a peach coloured bikini and unzipped black jacket exposing her ripped stomach - last seen at the 2001 VMA's carrying a python.
In the video, Britney herself takes us on a guided tour behind the scenes of the shoot where you can see her abs in all their glory - PROOF that Britney is abs-olutely working it bitch!
In the magazine, Brit attributes her crazy new body to her love for raw food, explaining that basically having the diet of a rabbit really has helped to keep her figure in shape.
The Everytime chart-topper munches on "any kind of fruit". We'll just put that cookie back then.
Discussing her relentless work out regime she explains: "I like my workouts to be effective in a short amount of time. I start with 20 minutes of intense cardio - usually running - move on to light free weights, body-weight exercises such as push-ups, squats, and sit-ups, then finish it off with a stretch."
