The Pussycat Dolls were as well known for their washboard abs and dancer physiques as their cool pop beats.

And while it may have been nearly five years since the six-piece group went their separate ways, with rumours of a reunion sparked by Nicole Scherzinger, it seems some of the girls are keen to prove they've still got it.

Kimberly Wyatt, who has worked as a DJ and a judge on Sky1's Got to Dance since her pop star days, has been working hard on whipping her body into shape and is proud to showcase the results (as well as share a few of her secrets).

Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fit like me! Kimberly Wyatt, who shot to fame as one sixth of the Pussycat Dolls, still keeps her body in shape and has shared her secrets with Health and Fitness magazine

Posing on the cover of Health and Fitness magazine, Kimberly reveals that being a member of the Pussycat Dolls ignited her passion for fitness.

She said: 'There was a lot of pressure from the management label to stay in shape. I knew we were replaceable, so the pressure of wanting to stay in the group kept me in the gym.'

Flexible: The 32-year-old says that exercise absolutely has to work with her life and she credits hot yoga for helping her stay in shape

The Dolls would usually have a group gym session before starting dance practice and she and close friend and fellow bandmate Ashley Roberts would do circuit training together as well.

The 32-year-old does, however, admit that it's harder to stay in shape these days explaining that she's had to find a routine that fits her busy schedule.

Kimberly works out three to five times a week, incorporating hot yoga three times a week for an hour and a half, as well as dance and circuit training.

When she's over in Los Angeles, she loves to play volleyball outside and says she really enjoyed trying the winter sports she was challenged to on the TV show The Jump.

Healthy diet: Kimberly starts the day with chocolate porridge with skimmed milk and blueberries and snacks on cucumber, peppers or carrots with houmous

Supple: She says fitness is all about keeping workouts mixed and having something to look forward to

'Exercise absolutely has to work with my life and be something I can live with,' she said.

'It's a priority because it's a source of stress relief and fuels my determination. It's all about keeping my workouts mixed and having something to look forward to.'

As well as working on her toned physique, Kimberly has been focussing on her DJing and has been working with Maxinutrition, promoting the fit and healthy lifestyle that she loves.

She has also been filming for the next series of TV show Got To Dance, which airs in August, and her make-up company, Beautiful Movement Cosmetics, will be going into Holland & Barrett stores.

Finding fame: With over seven million records sold, five hit singles worldwide and two world tours, The Pussycat Dolls were one of pop's biggest success stories
