Victoria Beckham, formerly Posh Spice of the Spice Girls, is known for her healthy habits and discipline when it comes to wellness.
Since entering the spotlight three decades ago, the fashion designer’s daily practices for peak health have evolved. While her diet remains consistent—fresh fish, vegetables, nuts, and seeds—her exercise routine and priorities have shifted now that she is in her 50s.
Here are four ways Beckham’s wellness routine has changed from the early 2000’s to now.
4 ways Victoria Beckham’s wellness routine has changed
1. She’s more flexible with her diet
“I do try to be quite disciplined in the way that I eat,” Beckham said on the BBC Radio program “Gordon Ramsay’s Perfect Christmas Lunch” in 2006 at age 32.
At the time, she prioritized a “really healthy” diet of fish, vegetables and fruit — and still does, she said. But these days Beckham is less rigid.
“I’m flexible with regards to food,” Beckham told Net-a-Porter in 2020. “My treat is a few glasses of red wine, and I also love tequila, and I do eat carbs. I have lots of avocado and really good fats, like salmon.”
2. She added weight training to her workouts
Over a decade ago, Beckham set a new year’s resolution to start going to the gym, she told The Guardian in 2014. “I’ve never stopped. Once I get into something, I do it properly,” she said.
Back then, she would exercise for 90 minutes with a trainer, attend SoulCycle classes and run often, sometimes for eight miles. By 2023, her workout routine looked much different.
“I usually workout every morning prior to beginning my day and recently incorporated strength training into my routine which has been a fun way to switch up my regime,” Beckham said in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
The following year, she shared that weight training at 50 made her feel “stronger than I did when I was 20.”
3. Sleep is key for her self care now
In 2013, Beckham’s three sons were still in school and her daughter was just one. Beckham started her days between 6:15 and 6:30 a.m., and would fall asleep sometime between midnight and 1 a.m., she told Harper’s Bazaar that year.
At the time, she was getting between five and six hours of sleep a night. “I like to get as much sleep as I can. But when you’re a mummy, you kind of—well, it would be nice,” Beckham said.
Ten years later, she told the publication that her best advice for self care was developing a healthy sleep routine.
“Creating healthy sleep habits is incredibly important; it’s become a key part of my self-care practice,” she said.
“I’ve been working on incorporating less screen time and more mindfulness into my routine, which means putting my phone away before bedtime.”
4. Wellness shots and green smoothies are a staple in her routine
Beckham also gets plenty of nutrients and vitamins from her daily beverages.
Earlier this year, Vogue covered Beckham’s morning routine based on stories shared to her personal Instagram account. The first thing she consumes every morning is apple cider vinegar, “a couple of tablespoons on an empty tummy,” she said.
Then, she and her husband David Beckham have their green smoothies which include:
- Broccoli
- Spinach
- Cucumber
- Celery
- Avocado
- Apple
- Ginger
- Lemon
After a workout, Beckham has another smoothie with berries, bananas, apples and almonds. She rounds out her morning with a wellness shot of lemon, black pepper, fresh ginger and turmeric. “One shot a day!!” she said.
