David Beckham has taken up Pilates.
The soccer superstar, 34, says he is in his best shape in years due to an hour-long daily routine of stretching and breathing.
The hunky star was introduced to Pilates while on loan at Italian football club AC Milan.
“I do an hour of Pilates a day. The medical set-up at Milan is fantastic and fitness-wise I am the best I have been for a long time,” he said.
Beckham is said to be desperate to show England boss Fabio Capello he is fit enough for next year’s World Cup in South Africa, and play on for years afterward.
David and his wife, Victoria Beckham, 35, have signed up for Pilates classes at Los Angeles’ exclusive Sports Club.
“He might get a bit of stick from the England lads as Pilates is seen as a bit of a girlie fitness fad — but he won’t care if he gets to South Africa,” a source told British newspaper The Sun.
