Saturday appears to be abs day in the Beckham household!

On Saturday, June 22, David Beckham posted a series of videos on his Instagram Stories of himself using a pull-up bar to sculpt his abs by doing crunches.

The soccer icon, 49, performed his workout shirtless, with his muscles and tattoos on full display. He wore only navy blue shorts, turquoise sneakers and tube socks.

Beckham tagged coach Bobby Rich in his social media post, thanking him for the toning workout.

“I have so many incredible memories of the Champions League,” Beckham said, referring to when he played for Manchester United. “With Manchester United, 1999 will always be incredibly special given that we won the Treble, something no other club had done before.”

Beckham continued, “I can’t believe it’s 25 years ago this year. I remember that final so clearly, it gives me goosebumps thinking about it now.”

“To win the Champions League with that group of players who I’d grown up with — it doesn’t get much better than that,” he added.
