Victoria Beckham's trainer shares her 'impressive' workout routine

Victoria Beckham has been looking more 'sporty' than 'posh' recently thanks to a gruelling new workout routine.

The 48-year-old Spice Girl has teamed up with London-based personal trainer and former Team GB judo competitor Bobby Rich, who shared some insights into the star's dramatic fitness overhaul.

"She is with me in the gym five days a week," Rich said in an interview with The Sun.

"Her dedication is nothing short of impressive," he added, revealing that even if she is travelling they continue to work together via online sessions.

This is something fans may recall seeing when her husband, David Beckham, shared a video of his wife doing lunges with coffee in hand along the deck of their yacht while on holiday recently.

Previously, the mother-of-four was more prone to doing 10-kilometre treadmill sessions as an avid runner and plenty of steady-state low-intensity workouts.

But now, Rich said her training is based on his own conditioning programming he used when competing.

"The biggest difference in Victoria's training is the introduction of strength training and functional movements, such as overhead squats, cleans and snatches," he explained, saying she could expect to burn around 600 calories in a session.

He also said the workouts "put a lot of emphasis on the smaller movements and accessory work, which complements the major muscle groups and focuses heavily on joint health."

That can include functional movements using bodyweight, bands, and ankles weights.

A new woman

Beckham surprised fans earlier this year by proving she's just as strong as her football star husband.

In an Instagram story of herself using a heavy dumbbell, Beckham worked up a sweat, writing on the clip: "Trying to keep up with @davidbeckham in the gym!"

Beckham's trainer Rich also took to Instagram to praise his client for her impressive first-time use of the overhead olympic bar. "Unbelievable efforts," he gushed at the time.

In a recent interview with Vogue, Posh said she is also a fan of a new Gold's Gym intense training session called Diamond One.

"I look at it and feel physically sick," she said.

It was also reported she sometimes does workout sessions over Zoom with Gwyneth Paltrow's American personal trainer, Tracy Anderson.

A friend told The Sun Beckham's whole outlook has changed, moving away from "looking skinny".

"Nowadays she wants to look athletic and be a great role model... She's never been so lean, while also putting on about 2kg in pure muscle."
