PopUps: Watch David Beckham Do Shirtless Pushups On a Piano

Tuesday September 27, 2016

In case you weren't aware, soccer star David Beckham has been doing a lot of pushups.

Taking to Instagram last week, Beckham posted a video clip and explained in the caption why he's doing so many pushups.

"So my lovely friend Mr Guy Richie the filmmaker and supreme athlete has nominated me to do 22 press ups consecutively for 22 days ( and by the way his challenge was that I do my first lot at 44,000 feet as he knows I'm travelling) ....," the athlete wrote. "This isn't one of his daily routines where he likes to teach u a lesson and beat you, it's for a very good reason... 22 service men kill themselves post conflict... 22 a day, basically 1 an hour.

"So I am doing what Guy R , Jason S and Charlie H are doing and supporting , respecting and appreciating all the service men and women and their sacrifice ... we shine a light to support and help save lives ..."

So far, there's three clips of Beckham doing pushups for the cause. But one has really caught social media's eye. In the clip, the 41-year-old athlete is shirtless and doing his 22 pushups on a piano.
