It was revealed this week that Victoria has transformed her figure over the past few months through grueling workouts with a former Team GB star.
Though she’s known by her Posh Spice mantra, the 48-year-old star now seems more like Sporty Spice after embracing an athlete’s regime, according to London-based personal trainer Bobby Rich.
Bobby has also revealed that despite her husband David’s claims that she’s been eating the same meal for 25 years, Victoria’s active lifestyle means she can still indulge in healthy fats and even the odd alcoholic drink.

Speaking to The Sun, Bobby offered an insight into Victoria’s exercise regime and revealed that as she approaches 50 she has focused on keeping her joints healthy.
He said she goes to the gym with him five days a week and even on vacation maintains her routine through online sessions.
“My methodology and application for Victoria’s training is based on my own conditioning programming that I have used in competitions,” said Bobby.
Even when she’s gone! The star seems more like Sporty Spice now, having adopted an athlete’s regime and even training with husband David (pictured) on their summer vacation.
“I look at the year as a season and work my way through different blocks of training, identifying peaks and recovery periods to get the most out of the incredible effort Victoria puts into each session, mentally and physically.
“The biggest difference in Victoria’s training is the introduction of strength training and functional movements like overhead squats, cleans and snatches.”
A key part of Victoria’s workouts, snatches are a floor-to-ceiling weightlifting movement that primarily engages your core, shoulders, and glutes.

Victoria is expected to burn up to 600 calories during her workout, and she continues to burn them after her session is over.
The star is two years away from turning 50 and has started prioritizing her joints and mobility in her workouts, with Bobby revealing she’s focusing on “the smaller movements and accessory work.”
Victoria, who has been staying on a luxury yacht with husband David and their children, has continued to train daily during her summer break, with the footballer recently sharing a hilarious clip of the star jumping across the deck.
The singer is also known for her disciplined diet, with David recently claiming that she never deviates from a dinner of grilled fish and steamed vegetables.

Strict: Despite David’s claims that she only eats steamed fish and vegetables, Victoria recently hit back by explaining that she’s “more disciplined” and still eats healthy fats
However, Victoria’s athletic training regimen now means she can indulge in healthy fats like nuts, avocado and oily fish.
The star previously hit back at David’s claims about her diet, saying: “Talk about making me sound boring! no What he meant is that he has never met anyone who is more disciplined with the way they eat.”
“I eat a lot of healthy fat: fish, avocado, nuts and so on. I drink alcohol unless I have a reason not to. I detox from everything I don’t drink for three to six months.”
“I’m pretty extreme in everything I do, whether it’s eating or exercising or drinking or not drinking.”
drink up! Despite her strict eating habits, Victoria still allows herself the odd vice, whether it’s tequila or a glass of fine wine
It turns out she doesn’t go a day without drinking apple cider vinegar first thing in the morning and adding Skinaide collagen peptide powder to her coffee.
Despite her strict eating habits, Victoria still allows herself the odd vice, whether it’s tequila or a glass of fine wine.
Victoria’s daily routine revelations come after she was fired at by a famous Spanish chef for causing him grief with her “complicated” dinner requirements at a celebrity wedding.
Three Michelin-starred chef Dani Garcia, 46, claimed the Spice Girl “changed the whole menu” when former Real Madrid star Sergio Ramos tied the knot in Spain in 2019 with his model and wife Pilar Rubio had closed life.
Dani recalled how Victoria carried coconut water and bowls of mints “all the time” as he branded the habit “weird” in a new interview.
Delicious! Foodie David confessed on the River Che Table 4 podcast earlier this year, “I get very emotional when it comes to food and wine. When I eat something great, I want everyone to taste it.”
Disputing Dani’s version of events, a source close to Victoria said: “It’s a great story, but it’s not fair or accurate – the best thing Victoria would have done, if asked about her dietary needs, would have been plain fish and vegetables.”
Victoria’s “strange” eating habits have been the subject of intense scrutiny for years.
During Euro 2004, she reportedly stuck to a diet of strawberries washed down with mineral water.
The mother-of-four has previously revealed that she does not eat foods cooked in oil, butter or sauces, and she does not eat red meat or dairy products.
Last year, she said her comfort food is whole grain toast with salt on it, admitting, “For most restaurants, I’m probably their worst nightmare.”
