Victoria Beckham’s diet and workout routine at 50 has her feeling stronger than she did in her 20s

The fashion designer added weight lifting to her routine a few years ago.

Victoria Beckham may be married to one of the most iconic athletes of all time (David Beckham), but she can also hold her own in the gym.

“Victoria treats training like brushing her teeth –it’s something she wants and has to do and it sets her up for the day. It’s just part of her lifestyle,” her personal trainer Bobby Rich previously told Vogue.

As a member of the Spice Girls, Beckham was known for her posh style and thin physique, and not much has changed since then. But after turning 50 earlier this year, Beckham told Grazia that her perspective on body image has shifted in recent years.

“I never want to look like I’m complaining, but there were times in the past that I haven’t felt confident enough to sit on a beach and watch my children play. I remember after I had Brooklyn, my first outing was on the front page of the newspaper, with arrows pointing to where I needed to lose weight. Those things can affect how you feel and conduct yourself in public,” she said. “Now, if paparazzi want to take a picture and say something — too bad, it doesn’t bother me in the same way.”

Beckham seems to be more confident —and fitter — than ever and she has diversified her fitness routine in recent years to include weight lifting, a practice she told Grazia makes her feel “stronger than I did when I was 20.”

Here’s what Beckham has shared about her go-to workouts and approach to her diet.

She likes to work out with her husband

The Beckhams certainly keep each other motivated in the gym. They both have the same personal trainer — Bobby Rich — and work out together regularly.

“I train both of them five days a week, in person. When they’re on the road, it’s remote, five days a week. Nothing changes,” Rich told Vogue in 2023.

Beckham occasionally posts videos of her joint sweat sessions with her hubby on Instagram. In 2023, she shared a video of her morning workout with the former soccer player.

While chatting with Grazia in 2022, Beckham said her husband is a “hilarious” workout partner. “I mean, obviously he’s amazing in the gym, but in our sessions he’s always the one who procrastinates,” she said.

She adopted strength training in recent years

Like many women, Beckham was once hesitant to start lifting weights for fear that she’d bulk up.

“I’ve always been a bit scared of weights, but it turns out I love them. I’ve even got those special gloves to wear! It’s good to switch things up and keep your body guessing. I’ve got so much more muscle tone now,’ she told Grazia in 2022.
