His girlfriend Pip Edwards isn’t afraid to show off her incredible figure online and often posts numerous workout photos.
And it seems that Michael Clarke is taking inspiration from the P.E Nation designer.
On Thursday, the former Australian cricketer, 39, shared a picture of himself on Instagram working out and showing off his buff physique.

Michael’s gym photo is likely inspired by his girlfriend Pip Edwards, who is the founder of luxury activewear range, P.E Nation.
She regularly shares photos of herself exercising, whether in a Pilates class or at a tennis session.
Michael’s gym photo comes after fans have noticed his remarkably smooth legs while wearing various pairs of shorts during his sun-soaked holiday to Noosa last week.

While it’s less common for men to shave their leg hair than women, the look is not uncommon among males who live a sporty lifestyle – especially those who enjoy cycling and swimming.
Some men have chosen to remove their leg hair simply for aesthetic reasons, many athletes also shave their legs to avoid hair root infections and improve their skin’s healing process.
Speaking to The Guardian, professional cyclist Gerald Ciolek explained: ‘By shaving, you avoid the uncomfortable hair root infections that can be caused by our daily massages. Also, wounds simply heal faster after crashes and don’t get infected as easily.’
‘Not to mention that it just looks better,’ he added.

They first hooked up after the retired cricketer’s split from wife Kyly in September, but their romance didn’t become public knowledge until after the Clarkes announced their separation on February 12.
When news of the relationship surfaced, Michael and Pip both denied they were anything more than friends.
But despite their denials, it’s understood they were in fact an item.
