"It wasn't something that was easy," David Beckham said. "I think I'm the only one who could convince her and I did, eventually"

The former soccer star spoke with Netflix's chief content officer Bela Bajaria at the inaugural MIP London content and networking market on Tuesday.

David Beckham has opened up about his rigorous fitness routine, revealing that his wife, Victoria Beckham, isn’t one to take it easy in the gym. The football legend, who is set to turn 50 in May, has no concerns about reaching the milestone. ‘Doesn’t bother me one bit,’ he revealed in the interview for his new Men’s Health cover.

David’s workout routine includes strength training like pull-ups on most days, and he has slightly let go of his cardio obsession over recent years as he used to do two sessions of SoulCycle every day. However, with his wife Victoria also in the gym with him now, the footballer is still put to the test in the cardio department.

But these days, it’s his workouts with wife Victoria that bring him the greatest satisfaction. The pair train with David Beckham’s close friend – and a former Team GB judoka

David Beckham tells Men's Health he trains with wife Victoria Beckham five or six times a week and they have a great time roasting each other in their workouts.
