Some expected David Beckham to wave goodbye to his ripped body when he retired from professional football.

But the former England player has proved them wrong by staying in shape and becoming quite the regular at his local gym.

The 39-year-old was spotted on Tuesday morning in sunny California making his way out of yet another SoulCycle class.

David had clearly put a lot of effort into the work out as he was dripping in sweat as he stepped out in a clingy black tee and a pair of baggy gym shorts.

However, despite still looking every bit the pin-up, it seemed as though he wanted to go incognito.

The star kept his head bowed down underneath a black Adidas cap as he paced over to his car to head home.

It's thought that his wife Victoria, 40, is the influence behind his current SoulCycle craze.

According to Now magazine, the former Spice Girl suggested it to her husband to help him stay in shape now that he is no longer training professionally.

Ever since, he’s been hitting his local gym a few times a week to attend the class and has even been spotted bringing some of the family along with him.

'David loves it so much he even takes Brooklyn,' a source told the publication.

Victoria reportedly advised David to enroll in a local class after he put on 10lbs earlier this year when he quit football.

'He really got into cooking huge Italian pastas and Victoria is telling him to ease up,’ the source added.

'She realised that if he wants to keep up modelling he has to become lean again.’

However, it seems that whatever barely noticeable weight David may or may not have put on, the SoulCycle classes are paying off.
