Victoria

THE CATCH-UP BY EL BROIDE Beckham

VICTORIA BECKHAM , despite mothering four children, has an amazing body, having found a way to keep herself lean and fi t. The great news is that we get to fi nd out just what that way is, having got the chance to hear from her former trainer Louisa Drake, who opened up on how a mix of Pilates, yoga, ballet and barre has helped Victoria look so damn good. “We would prep for events and roles several � mes a year, and this would dictate the intensity of the training schedule and the overall focus of the results. I was always so impressed with how driven and disciplined she was,” Louisa tells us on her � me training Victoria , adding that Posh enjoyed a balanced workout and pushed hard to exercise every part of her body. “She loved working her core, arms and legs, so she was pre� y keen on all elements of her training. Vic is a busy, ac� ve woman who is really disciplined and never missed a workout. She trained as a dancer, so she naturally had a great sense of what her body can do [regarding] co-ordina� on, fl exibility and range.” To start her day, Victoria heads out on a 5km- run. “I go for a run every morning and I work out for an hour with a PT, which gives me just enough � me to get to the kitchen to puree Romeo ’s avocados,” the star said in a recent interview. “I’ll then fi t in another hour’s workout before I go to the offi ce. I’m very disciplined, I have to be. It’s really the only � me in the day I get to myself.” owever, her strict exercise rou� ne isn’t the only way Victoria gets her body so lean. She relies on a healthy ea� ng plan as well. The star swears by star� ng her day with apple cider vinegar to clean her gut. “Be brave! Two tablespoons fi rst thing on an empty tummy,” she says. Victoria starts her day with a bowl of sprouted grain cereal containing wheat, barley, beans, len� ls, millet and spelt, which she then tops with ‘unsweetened organic almond milk’. She also likes making her family her signature ‘green monster’ smoothies, which contain chopped apple, kiwi, lemon, spinach, broccoli and Chia Seeds all blended together. For lunch and dinner, Victoria loves her vegetables, par� cularly broccoli, beans and peas, and typically pairs them with fi sh ‒mostly salmon. Victoria also loves indulging in sushi and it’s something the whole Beckham family enjoys together. The star adds that she has cut out all milk and cheese from her diet as well, which has given her body a healthy boost. For her skin, the star says she ‘eats three or four avocados a day’ to keep it healthy. Avocados are a rich source of monounsaturated fat and they also feature high amounts of vitamin E, which is an an� oxidant that helps protect cells from oxida� ve stress, which has been connected to ageing. “I enjoy ea� ng healthily,” Victoria says. “And I’m in the fortunate posi� on where it’s easy for me. I can aff ord to eat well. I expect a lot from my body and I’m never sick. You have to be kind to your body if you expect a lot from it.” We couldn’t have said it be� er ourselves.

THE actress wowed the crowds when she hit the Oscars looking trimmed down and totally glamorous in an old Hollywood style gold ruched gown and a deep pink off-the-shoulder number. This has not been through an overnight fad diet though. Rebel started her weight loss journey in 2016. She has now made a complete lifestyle change to be healthy instead of a crash dieting, which is damaging to one’s health and ultimately always unsustainable. It hasn’t been easy for her, as she revealed that while ‘others turn to alcohol or drugs to celebrate or self-medicate, she turned to food for comfort or reward’. “I love me some ice cream or dessert, and it comes at times when I’m happy or sad. You would probably describe it as emotional or stress-eating, ” she admitted. With that dependency behind her, here’s how she’s dropping the kilos: The Jojo Rabbit star is on a seven-day cardio programme with trainer Jon Castano, which involves walking and jogging. His tip is to always keep moving and he recommends counting your steps, aiming for 10 000 per day, something Rebel swears by. She also does circuit training in the gym three or four times a week. This consists of the assault bike, battle rope slams, and TRX squats. For the fun part of exercising, she loves tennis and hiking. Diet-wise she does not count calories, rather focusing on eating healthily and avoiding junk food. She tries to consume 35g of fibre a day, and relies on snacks like cashews and almonds, zucchini chips with veggie humus, or carrot and cucumber with guacamole. She ensures that she incorporates healthy fats such as oily fish and avos, and sticks to the lean proteins such as chicken breasts. Rebel also always has water at hand while exercising, to keep hydrated. We’d say it’s totally working for her! AUSSIE actr has called 2020 her ‘year of health’ and it’s showing!

THE CATCH-UP IDE G NESIS OF THE JENNER SIS

HOW the Jenner sisters bloomed into international superstars over the last decade. A T the beginning of last decade, one would never have thought that Kim, Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian’s younger sisters would go on to build an incredible empire in their own right. Through the ’10s, Kendall worked her way to becoming the highest-paid supermodel in the world while Kylie Jenner went on to become the youngest self-made billionaire. We take a look at how the past 10 years have shaped Kendall and Kylie into the superstars that they are today. Kendall

Kendall in 2010

A DECADE ago, Keeping Up With The Kardashians was in its fourth season and the family was well on the way to building the empire they have today. Kendall was just a shy teenager who almost seemed like a deer in the headlights when the cameras were around, but life is very different for the reality star today. Kendall has gone on to becoming one of the series’ favourite cast members and has built an exceptional career as a model. It was in 2010 when Kris Jenner set Kendall up at Wilhelmina Models and after a series of events, saw her becoming the highest-paid model of all time. Kendall has since walked for international fashion houses like Burberry, Fendi, Versace, Balmain and Tom Ford and walked in the famous Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for the first time in 2015 – any model’s dream. She essentially became one of the biggest influencers in the fashion industry and has brands lining up at her door to dress her for events, premieres and other red-carpet shindigs, and she’s one of the biggest fashion icons in the world. The star wore a stunning feathery Donatella Versace gown to the Met last year and had the world abuzz. But she has the world abuzz with pretty much every aspect of her life, not least of all the romantic side, and the fact is she essentially had to learn how to date in the public eye. Over the past decade we’ve seen her connected to the likes of A$AP Rocky, Harry Styles, Blake Griffin and Ben Simmons, and we have to admit, we’re eager to see where things go from here. One thing’s for sure: whoever does end up with her will be one lucky dude; the elder Jenner sister has thrived and her rise to almost blinding success has been fascinating to track.

OF THE JENNER SIS Kylie

AT the start of the decade, Kylie Jenner, the youngest in the KarJenner clan, was only 12 years old and no one could have predicted the impact the star would have on the world just a few years later. Today, she is the youngest self-made billionaire and a mom, and continues to push boundaries while paving the way for women around the world. It’s a world she grew up in front of, and with that came a steepish learning curve for the star. Unfortunately, the ’10s saw a massive increase in cyber bullying and Kylie , being in the public eye at such a young age, needed to find a way to deal with her own share of trolls. This is why she opted for lip fillers at an early age. Following that, Kylie went from a starry-eyed teen to a fully-fledged bombshell. While she’s received criticism for her excessive use of fillers, it became the catapult for her cosmetics range which, today, is valued at over $1.2-billion. Kylie launched Kylie Cosmetics back in 2015 and it instantly became a phenomenon with young women around the world; now the star’s recently sold a stake in the business for $600-million, making it one of the biggest deals in beauty this decade (if not, like, ever...). Besides being an incredibly successful businesswoman and social media star, Kylie , like Kendall, is a style icon as well. She too has designers waiting to dress her for any occasion and often pulls out all the stops when it comes to her red-carpet attire. Relationship-wise, she started last decade with flings with Cody Simpson and Jaden Smith but it was her two-year on-again-off-again romance with Tyga that saw the star in her first media frenzy. After their breakup, Kylie started dating rapper Travis Scott in 2017 and welcomed their daughter Stormi Webster into the world. Although she faced a lot of criticism for getting pregnant at such an early age (and even went into hiding for most of her pregnancy) the younger Jenner sister is seemingly just as good a little mom as she is a businesswoman. Though she and Travis announced they had split a few months ago, they co-parent their little girl just fine, which is the important thing. Of course, life still has its fair share of challenges for the billionairess; 2019 proved a somewhat uncomfortable end to the decade, thanks to the media frenzy that nearly swept her away when her best friend Jordyn Woods kissed Khlo é Kardashian ’s baby daddy Tristan Thompson at a party. The two had had an extremely tight bond but unfortunately the betraying of Kylie ’s sister seemed too much for their friendship to get past. Kylie in 2010
