As she celebrates her 52nd birthday, the Daily Mail takes a look at her fitness and skincare tips
When it comes to fitness, Victoria's workout routine is not for the faint-hearted, squeezing in exercise almost every day of the week.
'I work out every day, six or seven days [a week],' she previously told Elle.
She typically starts her day between 5:30 am and 6:00 am to fit in her workout before her family wakes up.
In her Netflix documentary, Victoria said she does a 'Stairmaster for half an hour' on her own before her personal trainer, Bobby Rich, and husband David arrive, then they do a session together.
'Then I do about an hour with them. It sets me up for the day. It's that discipline, it's what I do, and I like routine,' she said.
Victoria has also been a fan of treadmill workouts in recent years.
She previously said that she started the day with a 7km run with a 'mix of uphill fast walking, jogging, and running', watching boxsets to pass the time.
In 2023, she began to incorporate heavyweight lifting and strength training into her routine to build muscle and improve long-term health.
At the time, Victoria told Grazia that she was 'scared of weights' at the beginning, 'but it turns out I love them'.
'I've even got those special gloves to wear,' she told the publication. 'It's good to switch things up and keep your body guessing. I've got so much more muscle tone now.'
After her cardio session, she does '30 minutes legs, 30 minutes arms, toning and conditioning, then loads of planks and that kind of thing' for her core.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, her personal trainer Bobby gave further insight into her gruelling regime.
He said: 'She is with me in the gym five days a week – and even if she's travelling, there are no excuses as we move to online sessions. She is putting the work in.
'I treat the year as a season and work through different training blocks, identifying peaks and recovery phases to get the most out of the incredible efforts Victoria puts into each session, mentally and physically.'
Bobby explained that each workout consists of using her own body weight, resistance bands and ankle weights to achieve her goals.
To keep her workouts interesting, the fashion mogul also loves to attend classes.
She's been spotted multiple times at LA's cult-fitness studio, SoulCycle, and she'll also fit in a workout at Barry's Bootcamp when she can.
When it comes to fueling her body, Victoria claims that she has 'eaten the same meal every day for 25 years'.
She told Vogue: 'I eat lots of healthy fat: fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing.
'I do drink alcohol, unless I have a reason not to. I'll detox from anything for three to six months where I won't drink.'

As for skincare, Victoria has been hailed as a member of 'Club Ageless' after she turned 50 two years ago due to her youthful looks.
'It was because of my skin that I became very careful about what I ate,' she told the Telegraph, after revealing that she's also eliminated wheat and flour from her diet, in addition to meat, sugar, processed foods, dairy and gluten.
Victoria's skincare focuses on intense hydration, collagen-stimulating technology, and high-performance, science-backed products.
She swears by Augustinus Bader's TFC8 technology and uses a Dermalux LED device for 30 minutes every morning in her effort to maintain her youthful skin.
Sharing her quick routine with her followers in an Instagram clip, she said: 'My goal really is for my skin to look the best it possibly can. How do I ensure that my skin is looking fresh and hydrated?
'You can start with a cleanser – that is the most important part. It's how I start my day, it's how I end my day... every single day.'
Victoria then shared that her go-to cleanser is her very own beauty brand's The Daily Cleansing Protocol.
She added: 'I wanted a cleanser that took off my makeup, that took off unwanted oils but didn't strip my skin of the oils that I want to keep on my skin.'
She then revealed that she swaps between the cleansers, using the oil-based one some days, and the lactic acid-based cleanser on others.
After massaging it into her skin, she uses a resable make up remover pad to wipe it away.
After removing the cleanser, Victoria said: 'Now that my skin feels super clean, I am going to start applying my Power Serum, which I use twice a day every single day.
'I use it over my whole face and neck, but one thing I really like to do is pay attention to the eye area.'
She finishes her routine with a Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturiser with TFC.
Victoria added: 'You really will notice a difference in the fine lines around your eyes. Your skin will feel tight and lifted, but also look at that glow. It really is the most amazing product.'
At the end of her routine, Victoria said: 'My skin feels fresh and clean and hydrated and nourished, but also firm and quite lifted – and there's nothing wrong with that.'
The Spice Girl turned beauty CEO has also been indulging in skin-tightening aesthetic treatments.
A source told Closer: 'Vic's been having micro-current facials, contouring, cold therapy and a mix of micro needling and radio-frequency therapy.
'She's started undergoing Coolaser skin resurfacing, which stimulates collagen and reduces acne scars.
'As well as undergoing a non-surgical facelift, which involves strategically placing fillers for natural skin rejuvenation without going under the knife.
Her fitness and skincare secrets come after reports that Victoria's birthday will feel more like an ordeal than a celebration after her son Brooklyn's allegations that she 'hijacked' the first dance at his 2022 nuptials to Nicola Peltz.
Last year, A-list facialist Keren Bartov shared an Instagram post of her performing a 'mini lift' on Victoria.
In the clip, she describes a 'medical device' around Victoria's eyes, giving a running commentary: 'Lifting the eye area, like surgery without surgery.'
Keren explained that she's using 'ultrasound with radiofrequency' to kick-start skin rejuvenation from within and smooth away wrinkles.
'It's a medical device to bring in new collagen, to lift the skin. It's like ironing the skin.' she said.
The Mini Lift is Keren's signature treatment. She likes to personalise it to each client's need, with prices ranging from £500 to £1,200 a session.
