Post-baby body workout: Netflix style

At 32, I know she's a little old to be considered a "Young Mommy," but I have been eyeing Mel B (from Spice Girls and Dancing With The Stars fame) for about a year now, ever since she seemingly popped out a kid and then paraded around in a bikini three weeks later.
