Victoria Beckham says she "works hard" to look and feel her best.

In a recent interview with Grazia, the fashion designer explained that she's "very disciplined" with her diet, exercise and career.

"This is how I look. I'm going to make the best of it, work hard at it," she tells Grazia.

"I'm very disciplined with the way that I eat, the way that I work out and the way I work. That's just who I am," she explained.

Even while Beckham was constrained to a moonboot after breaking her foot, she continued to show up to the gym for sessions with her personal trainer.

When the moonboot was finally gone, Beckham says her trainer was over the moon.

"He said it was like when his daughter started to walk," she tells Grazia.

In the gym, Beckham has switched up her routine to focus on strength training instead of cardio which makes her feel "stronger than [she] did when [she] was 20".

As a Spice Girl, television personality, beauty business mogul and fashion designer, Beckham is undeniably busy and her discipline is evident in all areas of her life including her diet and exercise.

But while she values the hard work she puts in, she admits she also values balance.

"But I do like to have a drink and I'm not going to be one of these, 'Ah, there are too many calories in a glass of wine,' types. Whatever. Life's too short. Let's have a nice time," she explains.

It hasn't always been as straight forward for her. Even Beckham, despite long being an icon of beauty and elegance has had moments where she struggled with her confidence and her appearance.

"I never want to look like I'm complaining, but there were times in the past that I haven't felt confident enough to sit on a beach and watch my children play," she explains.

"I remember after I had Brooklyn, my first outing was on the front page of the newspaper, with arrows pointing to where I needed to lose weight. Those things can affect how you feel and conduct yourself in public."

Thankfully for Beckham though she's been able to drown out the negativity.

"Now, if paparazzi want to take a picture and say something too bad, it doesn't bother me in the same way.'

Often when we are travelling by car, air, train, boat or sitting on an amusement park ride, some of us have motion sickness which can lead to fatigue, uneasiness, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Often motion sickness usually goes away when the motion stops. However, it can be quite inconvenient. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, motion sickness happens when the movement you see is different from what your inner ear senses. While there are many remedies and internet hacks to combat this nauseous feeling, you can also deal with it through a yoga mudra. Scroll through to know more.

Celebrity yoga trainer, Anshuka Parwani, known for training stars like Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday, Rakul Preet Singh and more actors, took to Instagram today to share a video featuring a yoga mudra that can help people with motion sickness while travelling. According to the post, one has to practice the Shunya Mudra, a hand gesture, while they are travelling. Anshuka said the mudra helps balance the elements in the body and calm the mind. Thus, reducing nausea. Watch the video below.

Anshuka captioned her post, "Do you suffer from motion sickness? Since ancient times Yoga mudras have been practiced to direct the flow of vital energy (prana) through the energy channels (nadis) in the human body. The Shunya Mudra is a hand gesture believed to have various health benefits, including alleviating motion sickness. Next time you hit the road, avoid taking medication and instead start practising the Shunya Mudra."

To practice the Shunya Mudra, one should place the tip of their middle finger at the base of the thumb. Then, press down gently on the middle finger with your thumb. Do the mudra with both hands.

As a mother of four and the boss of a fashion powerhouse, Victoria Beckham's schedule is undoubtedly a packed-out one, so it's no surprise that the 49-year-old prioritises her health and fitness to keep at the top of her game.

The former Spice Girls singer has been vocal about how she stays in such great shape and her love of exercise. However, her overall wellness routine is less spoken about and she has a few surprising methods up her sleeve she enlists as part of her regime.

Whether it's working out in a gym that is surprisingly relatable despite her A-list status, or her bizarre beauty gadgets, Victoria's wellness game is more than varied. What's more, she even has surprising ways of elevating her routine at her and her husband David's stunning farmhouse mansion in the Cotswolds.

Victoria is passionate about health and wellness

Victoria's wellness spends all rack up to an impressive amount of more than 16,000 so we took a closer look

We love that when Victoria previously opened up about her daily exercise routine, she explained how it was equally important to her to view it as "me time" as well as a pastime that is going to keep her in shape the ideal attitude when considering overall wellbeing if you ask us.

Speaking with The Guardian, Victoria explained her exercise regime is her opportunity to focus on herself, and usually takes place first thing in the morning at her home in West London before taking her daughter Harper, 12, on the school run.

Specifically, the fashion designer hops on the treadmill to clear her head and prioritise alone time."For me, that's where I go in the morning, that's 'me' time.

Victoria sees her workouts as 'me time'

"It's not just about how it makes you look. It's how it makes you feel. It really gets me ready for the day. It clears my mind. It's also where I have lots of ideas. It's a time when I'm not on the phone, I'm not with the children, I'm not with David; I can literally just be left alone."

Another method for Victoria to bask in some alone time and focus on wellness is to spend some time in their at-home sauna.

The Beckhams spent an eye-watering 15,000 to install a sauna in the garden of their 12 million mansion in the Cotswolds, and it wouldn't look out of place at a luxury hotel and spa! So it's clear that Posh and Becks take wellbeing very seriously indeed.

While most of us folk only get to enjoy saunas at our local gym or health spa, Victoria gets to bask in the heat therapy after exercising her muscles from the comfort of her own home.

The Beckham's have their own sauna at their country home

We're yet to see Victoria post a photo of herself enjoying the sauna but her husband is a big fan! David has shared clips of him taking to the plunge pool which is a few steps away from the sauna, and we bet the ex-footballer likes to engage in hot-cold therapy by immediately jumping into the sauna after an ice bath.

Hot-cold therapy is an epic way to elevate your wellness game, and there are so many mental and physical benefits (read our full review on why, here).

Victoria is never without her sense of humour. The fashion and beauty guru posted a photo of herself enjoying an LED mask while relaxing at home in some seriously chic loungewear.

Although the photo sparked a mixed reaction from her followers due to the mask looking a little jarring, her effort for great skin actually has many benefits.

Victoria Beckham uses LED face masks regularly

Dr Leah Totton, former winner of BBC's The Apprentice and founder of Dr Leah Cosmetic Skin Clinics, told HELLO! about LED therapy: "LED stands for light-emitting diode, a non-invasive treatment that offers a range of clinically proven benefits for the skin. Each colour of light penetrates the skin at a different level, triggering specific responses."

The good news is, LED masks are suitable for all skin types and do not cause UV damage, so there's no harm in trying them out and channelling your inner Posh Spice. However, it's worth noting that a high-end LED mask from the premium market can set you back a cool 500 or more.

Victoria is fortunate enough to have personal trainers at her fingertips and often works out in the gyms in her multiple homes, but it seems Posh Spice at times likes to keep things more low-key.

Most recently, the star was photographed at Gold's Gym, an American chain of international fitness centres, in London close to the family's Holland Park mansion.

Victoria Beckham is passionate about exercise

Surprisingly, the gym offers a range of facilities and fitness amenities such as Zumba, Yoga, Group Cycling, Mixed Martial Arts, Muscle Endurance Training, and Pilates classes, all for just 32.99 per month.

Victoria often posts snaps of her in the gym lifting weights or pulling off low-intensity exercises such as lunges and squats. She's often joined by former England Football captain David, too, who also ensures to keep on top of his fitness game.
