David Beckham poses topless in new self-care video – and wife Victoria has the cheekiest response

David Beckham takes wellness very seriously. The sports star – who follows a strict seven-minute skincare regimen, and regularly trains with Gunnar Peterson – is also a fan of cold therapy.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, David, 48, gave fans a glimpse of his latest ‘Self-care Sunday’ at what appears to be his £12 million Cotswolds home.

Sharing a video of himself outdoors, the former football star captioned it: “Self-care Sunday. 3 degrees today, perfect for a Sunday rest day @victoriabeckham can I get a HOT CHOCOLATE with a Nespresso shot. Sorry, Victoria just said ‘what’s the magic word’ PLEASE.”

Prompting a flirty response from his wife, Victoria, 49, promptly replied in the comments. “As you asked so nicely and are just wearing your tighty-whiteys,” she teased.

Cold water therapy, also referred to as cold body therapy or cold therapy, is simply being exposed to cold temperatures. According to Dr Sarah Brewer, medical director of supplement brand Healthspan, cold water therapy can improve circulation, reduce water retention and even regulate blood pressure, as it improves the responsiveness of blood vessels.

Additionally, exposure to cold water can help support our immunity, because it increases the supply of powerful antioxidant glutathione, which is important in our immune response. As for the mental benefits of cold water therapy, Dr Brewer explains that it “stimulates endorphins to improve mood to help combat stress, anxiety and depression.”
