David Beckham’s fitness secrets revealed ahead of 50th birthday
How does the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star keep in shape?
As David Beckham approaches his 50th birthday in May, the former football icon continues to impress with his chiseled physique.
In a series of recent photoshoots, including a notable feature in Men’s Health magazine, Beckham showcases the results of his dedicated fitness regimen and disciplined lifestyle
Beckham‘s commitment to health encompasses various activities. He frequently engages in padel, a racquet sport combining elements of tennis and squash, playing three times a week.
This sport not only enhances his cardiovascular endurance but also offers a fun way to stay active. Additionally, Beckham maintains a consistent workout routine alongside his wife, Victoria, fostering mutual motivation and support.
Reflecting on their joint sessions, he shared, “I love training with her, but I often give her a lot of grief during our workouts.”
Structured weekly workout routine
To maintain his athletic build, Beckham follows a structured weekly exercise plan:
- Monday: Begins with a light jog, followed by strength exercises such as sled pushes, push-ups, rope workouts, kettlebell swings, and squats.
- Tuesday: Focuses on cardiovascular health with ten sets of one-kilometer sprints.
- Wednesday: Emphasizes strength with routines including squats, push-ups, leg raises, burpees, and plank-to-push-up sequences.
- Thursday: Mirrors Tuesday’s cardio emphasis with multiple sprint intervals.
- Friday: Concludes the week with a 20 to 30-minute treadmill session, occasionally incorporating yoga, rock climbing, or mixed martial arts.
Weekends are reserved for rest and recovery, though Beckham remains active through activities like hiking and walking his dogs.
