Victoria Beckham `eager to shift the baby weight`

The 37-year-old fashion designer and her husband David welcomed daughter Harper last week. Already, the former Spice Girl is said to be itching to start shifting the baby weight – all she needs is the go-ahead from her doctor.

A source told Now magazine, 'She was still doing light workouts in the run-up to the birth, but has been ordered to wait at least four weeks before she pounds the treadmill.

'She's going to try daily power walking but she's taking it easy, even though she's looking forward to getting back into her pre-pregnancy wardrobe.

'Before she got pregnant, Victoria would jog eight miles a day, six days a week.

'She already has two treadmills at home but she's ordered a new one, which cost almost £6,000, to put in the nursery.

'It's completely silent, which means she can be with the baby in the room while she walks off some of the weight.

'Victoria's hoping she'll be back to her old routine sooner rather than later because keeping fit and active gives her so much energy and helps with stress.'
