David Beckham Shirtless Does 1,000 Push Ups in New Video

David Beckham is showing off his pushup game — shirtless, of course. In a new Instagram video the football legend shows off her famously fit body while perfectly executing pushups. “998, 999, 1000,” he captioned the video. Aside from pushups, how does the sports star approach fitness? Celebwell has all the details.

1. Most People Struggle to Do Push Ups

Push Ups are one of the most common exercises, but many people struggle to do a few of them – let alone 1,000! One recent survey found that most Americans can’t complete five in a row, and over half the 1,400 people included on the survey admitted they can't complete 10 push-ups in a row.

2. Beckham Does a Push Up with a Pair of Dumbbells

In Beckham’s clip he perfectly demonstrates how to do a push up, using a pair of dumbbells, which helps him stay in a neutral position and keeps him grounded.

3. After He Retired, He Adapted His Workouts

“I could never keep up with the level of the workouts I was doing when I was playing professional football,” Beckham confessed to Men's Health in 2022. “And obviously, I’m getting older now as well... I need to train with people. I’m not very good at training on my own, so I need to be motivated by people in a community environment.”

4. He Created His Own “DB45” Workout

You can pump it like Beckham with his DB45 workout. In an Instagram video he does elevated split squats, box jumps, running in place, and more. "Got to create my own workout with @gunnarfitness for @f45_training, can't wait for you all to try it (raised hands emoji),” he captioned it. "It's obviously tailored to what I used to do in my career, some of the exercises," Beckham told The Associated Press, adding, "We never tailor anything to any specific sport or athlete because our community is not about athletes. Yes, there's some people that are ex-athletes that come into F45, but this is not a workout designed only for elite athletes." It involves 11 stations, each one being football-themed, including "midfield" stations that work on agility and "defenders" stations targeting functional resistance training.

5. Hiking

Beckham also stays active with his family by hiking. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

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.

2. Breaking Up Her Workouts

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.”

3. Watching TV During Cardio Sessions

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.

4. Discipline

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.”

5. Tracy Anderson Method

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.

Exercise is a daily habit, and “a really positive thing for me,” Victoria told The Guardian’s Weekend magazine. “It’s part of who I am now, and I really enjoy it.” Victoria sweats 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.” According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

2. Strength Training

After cardio, Victoria works out 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.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

Victoria has a drink every now and then."I'm not going to be one of these, ‘Ah, there are too many calories in a glass of wine' types," she said. "Whatever. Life's too short. Let's have a nice time.

5. Grilled Fish and Veggies

According to Victoria’s husband David Beckham his wife has “eaten the same thing for the last 25 years,” he revealed on Ruthie's Table 4 podcast. “Since I met her, she only eats grilled fish [and] steamed vegetables,” he said. “She will very rarely deviate from that." According to the soccer star, she cheated when she was pregnant with their daughter, Harper. “The only time she's probably ever shared something that's been on my plate was actually when she was pregnant with Harper and it was the most amazing thing,” he said. "It was one of my favorite evenings."
