The new DVDs, endorsed by Hard Candy Fitness, which Madonna co-founded, will feature the star alongside Miss Winhoffer, whom she has been working closely with since the rift.

Madonna appears to be throwing a punch at former trainer Tracy Anderson.

The Material Girl and her new trainer, Nicole Winhoffer, have released their own collection of workout DVDs to cash in on the January health and fitness bandwagon.

But according to The New York Post, the new Addicted to Sweat series is 'a way to get back at Anderson, whose DVD series has become a major part of her empire.’

Madonna’s rep insists the release has nothing to do with Ms Anderson though. 

'This is not about being competitive with Tracy. It’s just timing,' they said.

'Nicole was on tour with Madonna all over the world, so she wasn’t available to do much promotion for the DVD series. But now she’s back in New York.'

A source close to the fitness guru scoffed to the Post: 'Madonna and that trainer are not on her radar. She could not care less.'
