Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, is a member of the ultra-exclusive Sports Club LA in Beverly Hills where she works out six days a week.  A source from the gym told the Daily Mail about what entails a typical workout for Victoria.  The source said that she runs approximately eight miles on the treadmill, and has also done pilates and spinning.  The source quoted,

“Posh is in great shape and says she has never felt better. She’s naturally thin but says she is eating more now because the workouts have fired up her metabolism. She’s become a real gym bunny and says if she misses a session she can feel it.”

In a recent interview, Victoria was quoted saying,

“I feel energised and healthy. I get up in the morning, drop the kids off at school and then go to the gym. It helps me think properly for the rest of the day.  David puts music into my iPod for me, so I listen to that while I work out, and Gordon Ramsay bought me trainers that have a little chip allowing you to clock how far you’re running.”

Other stars that train at Sports Club LA are Jessica Alba, Heidi Klum and Justin Timberlake.

The latest speculation from Hollywood, where celebrity weight is a spectator sport, is that Posh is making her new found celebrity pals Katie Holmes and Eva Longoria lose weight. An “insider” reveals to In Touch magazine, “everyone around Posh seems to be getting thinner.”

After getting weight loss tips from Posh, best pal Katie Holmes appears to have lost weight around her hips since the birth of her daughter Suri. And Eva Longoria, who used to say she loved to eat, was seen out with Posh at Chateau Marmont and barely touched her food.

That Posh is influencing her new found A-list Hollywood pals to be as thin as she is, is entirely plausible. A recent study revealed that obesity is contagious, when one person gains weight their friends tend to gain weight too. Less widely reported is that this study also found the same “friends” effect for weight loss.

When in Hollywood, this adds a whole new meaning to the expression “it’s important who your friends are.”

Posh Spice has certainly been making headlines recently although her reality TV show “Victoria Beckham: Coming to America” has been resoundly panned by the critics. Her husband, “bend it like” Beckham, has joined the Los Angeles Galaxy at yet another attempt to resurrect pro-soccer in America. According to New! Magazine Posh is keen on getting her band mates (Ginger, Scary, Sporty, and Baby Spice) in top form for their upcoming tour by placing them on a strict diet and exercise program.

Posh Spice: Diet
Posh’s diet is reportedly edamame beans, strawberries and lettuce. “She always orders a bowl (edamame) when she comes to eat here” says the general manager at London’s celeb hangout, Nobu.

200 sit-ups a day

Celebrity Diet Doctor Weigh in
While I am all in favor of more fruits and veggies, which is great for weight loss, this diet seems a little ridiculous and extreme. I’m sure this got a little lost in the “tabloid translation,” otherwise these girls will become the “Scary Skinny” Spice Girls.
