David Beckham recently partnered with Mark Wahlberg, Cindy Crawford and Greg Norman joining F45 Training. “I’ve been a fan of the F45 franchise and training model since being introduced by my friend, Mark Wahlberg,” he explained to the press. “Health and fitness have always been a big part of my life and, since my days playing football, I have always found I’m at my best when training as part of a team. F45 has a strong community and trainers that help you reach your goals and achieve powerful results. This partnership is an exciting business venture for me also, and I’m looking forward to the journey with F45 as the business continues to expand globally.”

“You don't have to go and spend a huge amount of money going to the gym,” Beckham explained during a recent panel. “Three or four times a week I walk my daughter to school instead of driving her, or she bikes home with me. It's the little things that make a difference.”

3. His Workouts Are Hardcore

David doesn’t mess around with his sweat sessions. “Just a gentle workout to start the day,” he captioned a recent Instagram post, executing a tough looking ab roll. To make his treadmill runs harder he even wears a weighted vest.

4. His Drink of Choice? Coffee

David regularly shares photos of himself with his “cup or three” of morning coffee. “While past studies hinted that coffee might have a dark side, newer research suggests that it may actually have health benefits,” explains the Mayo Clinic about the zero calorie pick-me-up. “When newer studies adjusted for such factors, they found a possible association between coffee and decreased mortality.” Coffee may offer some protection against Parkinson's disease, Type 2 diabetes, liver disease, including liver cancer, and heart attack and stroke.

5. He Cooks

Cooking your own food is a great way to ensure healthy eating, and according to Victoria, David is the family chef. He regularly shares photos of himself whipping up meals on social media.

6. He Plays Tennis

Soccer isn’t the only sport Beckham relies on for fun and fitness. “Found a new sport,” he captioned a recent post adding a tennis emoji, “back is gonna hurt in the morning but who cares.”

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.

1. Victoria is Disciplined

“Since I met Victoria, she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables, she will very rarely deviate away from there,” David said on a podcast. “I mean, talk about making me sound boring!” Victoria told Vogue Australia. “No. What he meant is that he’s never met anyone who’s more disciplined with the way that they eat. I eats lots of healthy fat: fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing. I do drink alcohol, unless I have a reason not to. I’ll detox from anything for three to six months where I won’t drink. I’m quite extreme in anything I do, whether it’s eating or working out or drinking or not drinking.”

2. Healthy Fats are Essential

“Focus on replacing foods high in saturated fat with foods rich in unsaturated fat. Try these tips to reduce unhealthy fat in your diet:

• Use oil instead of butter. For example, saute with olive oil instead of butter, and use canola oil when baking.
• Eat fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, instead of meat at least twice a week.
• Choose lean meat and skinless poultry. Trim visible fat from meat. Remove fat and skin from poultry.
• Limit processed foods, which often contain saturated fat. Instead reach for whole fruits and vegetables when you're hungry,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She is in a Supportive Marriage

Of her marriage, she told Good Morning America: “We're very supportive of each other. He's an incredible dad and a wonderful husband and we have a lot of fun. We support each other with everything that we do, but it's about having fun and enjoying that person's company. I genuinely love being with him. Yeah. Which is good after al these years.”

4. She Launched Her Own Line

Victoria launched Victoria Beckham Beauty. “It's been a passion of mine and was a big dream of mine to really focus on clean beauty. So beauty, formulas, and packaging that are clean but products that are the ultimate in luxury at an affordable luxury price point, products that really work, products that I've never been able to find in my makeup bag,” she said on the Tonight Show. “I’m a bit obsessed with makeup. And making sure it's inclusive so that you can find the perfect products, no matter what skin tone you have is really key. So inclusivity, clean beauty, but the ultimate in luxury, that was my goal. And I saw a space in the market where nobody else was doing that.”

5. Her Singing Days are Behind Her

“The Spice Girls was such a big success and something I enjoyed so much, but I think my times of singing on stage are behind me and the fans have always been so great and it was such a wonderful journey, but for me now, focusing on fashion and beauty, that's my passion,” she told GMA. “And what I love about the beauty is, you know, really getting in the lab and being creative and really focusing on that clean beauty message for me. That's my creative outlet. Now, if you like, rather than singing and dancing, it's developing products that I love working closely with my community. So ultimately I'm giving them what they want, what they really, really want.”

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.”

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.
