David Beckham is celebrating his wife, Victoria Beckham, over the holidays with a rare swimsuit snap. In a new social media post the soccer star honors his former Spice Girl wife by showing her off in a blue cutout swimsuit. “Merry Christmas to my amazing family & feeling very thankful for everything they do for me , love you all,” he captioned the series of Instagram snaps, starting with a photo of his wife giving him a hug while showing off her washboard abs. How does the singer-turned-fashion designer approach health and wellness? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.
Victoria told The Guardian’s Weekend magazine that exercise is a daily habit, and “a really positive thing for me,” she added. “It’s part of who I am now, and I really enjoy it. That was a big part of why I wanted to work with Reebok – I had very specific ideas about the workout clothes that I wanted to wear and couldn’t find.”
Victoria added to The Guardian that she works out a whopping two hours every day, breaking her exercise time up. She starts the day by running a 7k on the treadmill at 6am, “a mix of uphill fast walking, jogging, running,” followed by a training session with a personal trainer, “30 minutes legs, 30 minutes arms, toning and conditioning, then loads of planks and that kind of thing for my core.”
Victoria has a trick to make her 45-minute cardio session go by faster: She watches TV. “That’s the only time I watch TV – boxsets, documentaries – so I look forward to that,” she revealed to The Guardian.
It is no secret that Victoria is incredibly strict with her diet. “I am very, very disciplined in the way that I work out, in what I eat. That’s how I’m happiest,” she told The Guardian. “I expect a lot from my body – I’m 44, I’ve got four kids, I work a lot, I travel. For me to do all that, I have to eat healthily and work out.”
Victoria is one of many celebrities who are obsessed with the Tracy Anderson Method, a dance inspired workout available in her studios and also online. She has also shared a video of her ab workout, which includes standing sequences and more traditional, crunch-inspired compound moves.
