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.
