So you want to lose the beer belly and recreate a David Beckham
washboard stomach? Well it's not as hard as you think. We all kept a
close eye on Beckham during this year's World Cup. Girls drooled and
blokes went green with jealousy at the sight of his six pack. But
achieving that toned tummy is not as hard as it looks - just follow our
nutritional and fitness advice and you could soon have a body to die
for, or tone up a bit at least!
One of the most recognizable sportsmen on the planet, Beckham has
enjoyed the spotlight since making his Premier League debut for
Manchester United in 1995. His workout and diet are the secret to his
killer, ripped figure. David prefers total body routines, versus
focusing on one body part, to get the lean, muscular look he‘s known
for. And he also performs compound movements rather than isolation
exercises for the same reason.
Diet plan of the football star - David Beckham
•Don't cut out all fat - Stick to Mediterranean-style fats like
olive oil, fish, nuts and avocado. These will help to keep cholesterol
levels lower without risk of heart diseases.
•Cut out carbonates - This means no full-sugar fizzy drinks, even the
diet versions as these drinks can cause bloating and water retention.
•Calci-yummy - Cut out full-fat dairy products and instead use
low/non-fat products that are high in calcium. Research has shown that
people who included non fat calcium sources in their diet lost more
weight than their calcium free counterparts.
•Get drinking! - No, not the six pack of Stella - get drinking water.
It's great for flushing the toxins out of your system and can also help
you burn extra fat. Weight loss experts believe that drinking only one
ounce of water is effective for fat burning - but try and drink at least
eight 8-ounce glasses a day, it can only do you good.
•Reduce starch - Many people over eat carbohydrates. Try and cut your
usual portions of rice, pasta and potatoes by half. In their place have a
cupful of vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans. While a
cup of white rice contains 240 calories, a cup of steamed veg has only
50 - you do the maths!
•Pump up the protein - It's important to increase your protein by an
extra 20 per cent, if you are planning on reducing your total calories.
It will maintain your muscle mass and keep your metabolism at a high
gear.
•Creatine - Well-known for being used to pump up muscles, it can also
help burn calories - as many as 100 a day. Try taking five grams a day
after your workout for at least six weeks.
Workout of the football star - David Beckham
David Beckham’s well toned physique is due to three essential
components to a perfect body: strength training, cardio/endurance
training, and diet/sports nutrition. In some ways David Beckham’s body
is similar to that of the greatest fitness icon of all time, Bruce Lee.
David Beckham has minimal body fat, well toned, but not overly bulky
muscles, and a lean and lithe appearance.
David prefers total body routines, versus focusing on one body part, to
get the lean, muscular look he‘s known for. And he also performs
compound movements rather than isolation exercises for the same reason.
To get one of the most intense workouts you can give your body, David
will focus his workouts on his maximum heart rate, and will do
high-intensity interval workouts in accordance with them.
Footballers include in their work plyometric training routines, as well
as classic old school circuit training, such as shuttle runs, squat
thrusts, jumping jacks, skipping, jogging forwards and backwards, plus
abs/core workouts and upper-body conditional with crunches, leg raises
and press-ups (push ups).
