While Victoria Beckham has made no secret of her love of exercise in the past, the fashion designer has recently revealed the lengths she goes to in order to keep in such great shape – and it requires some serious motivation.

“I go for a three-mile run every morning and I work out for an hour with a PT, which gives me just enough time to get to the kitchen to puree Romeo’s avocados,” she told Vogue Netherlands. “His toast jumps out of the toaster the minute he comes down for breakfast.”

The mother-of-four is often snapped attending SoulCycle classes with her famous family and has been very honest in the past about how hard she has to work to keep so slender. Beckham talked about her morning work-outs in an interview with Elle in May, where she said: “Normally, I wake up, do half my work-out – an hour – wake the kids up, give them breakfast, take them to school, come back, do another hour, quickly shower and then come into work.”

She also told Elle US that her figure does not come easily. “You know, I eat very healthily,” she said. “I eat lots of fish, lots of vegetables and a lot of fruit. I work out every day, six or seven days [a week].”

While it sounds like an overly intensive routine to us (and not one we’d necessarily recommend you take up), we definitely admire Beckham for her focus and determination.
