Famous for: Playing soccer for the LA Galaxy (and marrying Spice Girl alum, Victoria Adams)
How he stays hot: Fitness coach Chris Neville of the LA Galaxy says Beckham’s secret is to always push himself that extra ten percent. Beckham added that he approaches training like he approaches a soccer match—he always puts in maximum effort. But when it comes to relaxing, he’s not a sportsman. “People always ask me, ‘Do you play golf?’ I used to play, quite a few years ago, but to be honest, I’d rather spend four hours with the kids than four hours on a golf course.”

I’m glad to hear that you are using metabolic circuit training to lean out. This type of training gives you the greatest return on time spent in the gym, and it really cranks up your metabolism for hours after the training session ends. As for using nutrition to optimize these training sessions, specific strategies and supplements can help you maximize fat loss.
With metabolic circuit training, the goal is to do as much work as possible with as little rest as possible. So one of the main areas that we will focus our efforts on is blood flow.

We are responsible for creating building blocks for a sound foundation, and I want to sculpt a slender flexible body with the best interests of my 100 year old booty.
I needed to challenge my mental capacity and put forth a concentrated effort to be in the “best shape of my life”. I believe a lot of health problems and ailments are preventable with the right actions early on.
How I Did It
I completely immersed myself in this positive “transformation” and eliminated all the discouragers/ temptations.

And never too early either, considering I’m posting this at 6:30am after already hitting the gym.
Flying to Orlando later this morning, because somewhat like the proverbial Super Bowl MVP, I’m going to Disney World. Literally. Because apparently that’s where Joel Marion, John Romaniello, Vince and Flavia, and other fitness people hang out.
5am workout:

Stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart and hold the ball overhead. With your arms slightly bent and back flat, brace your core and slam the ball onto the ground between your feet, bending your knees as you follow through. Quickly squat, pick up the ball, then return to start. That’s one rep. Last updated: February 3, 2011
