Coleen Rooney flashes a glimpse of her toned midriff in navy crop top and leggings as she leaves the gym after a morning workout session in Cheshire
Coleen Rooney showed off her trim figure on Tuesday as she hit the gym early for a morning workout in Cheshire.
The WAG, 38, showed off a peek at her toned stomach in a navy blue crop top and pair of matching skintight leggings.
Feeling the heat in the summer sun after a gruelling gym session, she opted to take off her striped jumper and tie it around her waist.
Coleen also donned a pair of coordinating blue trainers and oversized sunglasses, as she pulled her hair up into a messy bun.
She chatted away on her phone while juggling a takeaway coffee alongside her notebook, water bottle and car keys on her way home.

Her latest workout comes after Coleen shared a heartwarming family snap with her husband Wayne and their sons as they prepared to head out for dinner earlier this month.
The mother-of-four looked sensational for the evening as she slipped into a black sleeveless dress with a low cut neckline and sheer detail.
While her football manager husband, 38, kept it casual as he sported a light green T-shirt along with a pair of shorts and black sandals.
The couple, who have been married since 2008, were joined by their sons Kai, 14, Klay, 10, Kit, eight, and Cass, six.
The family outing came as Coleen was battling to avoid paying 20 per cent of Rebekah Vardy's 'unreasonable' legal bills while her arch rival was enjoying a luxury holiday in Thailand.
Rebekah, the wife of Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, lost her £3million libel claim against Coleen in a bombshell case that gripped the nation in July 2022.
In October that year, the judge ruled that Rebekah should pay 90 per cent of Coleen's costs, with an initial £800,000 then ordered to be paid.
The bitter trial exploded back into life this month, as Coleen challenged parts of Rebekah's £325,000 bill, of which she will have to pay 20 per cent.

But as the Wagatha Christie saga resumes, Rebekah was relaxing at a £7,000-a-night resort on the Koh Samui island in Thailand with Jamie and their five children.
She shared insights into the luxury holiday to Instagram, including one of her basking in the sunshine on the edge of an infinity pool overlooking the ocean and another of her children jumping on the beach at sunset.
The Vardy family were staying at the five-star Four Seasons, where the upcoming third season of hit TV show The White Lotus was filmed.
The private residence features a wine cellar, butlers and private chefs to hire according to The Sun.
A source told the publication: 'Becky is living her best life in Thailand with Jamie and their kids. Being dragged back into a war with Coleen is the last thing she wanted but her team will fight to win this round — and then they hope to get Coleen's costs knocked down later this year.
'Becky is confident her team will fight her case for her — all while she's got a cocktail in her hand and the sun on her back.'
Rebekah was left with a mammoth legal bill and her reputation in tatters when a High Court judge dismissed her evidence in the original trial as 'evasive or implausible' and accused her of deliberately deleting WhatsApp messages central to the case.
She had sued over an accusation she had leaked details of Coleen's private life to the press, after Coleen had staged an elaborate sting operation to find out who was passing on stories about her private life to The Sun.

The trial resulted in a Disney+ documentary and was turned into a Channel 4 drama starring Michael Sheen as Coleen's barrister, David Sherborne.
Coleen's costs are expected to be considered at a hearing in October and neither woman appeared at the High Court for the first hearing on Tuesday.
Robin Dunne, for Coleen, said that Rebekah's team had accrued 'unreasonable and disproportionate' costs before the trial.
Some of the costs related to bids made at a hearing in February 2022 for further documents and information from both sides, as well as Coleen's bid to have legal action against Rebekah's former agent heard alongside the libel claim.
Coleen's lawyers previously claimed that Rebekah leaked information to The Sun either directly or through her agent Caroline Watt 'acting on her instruction or with her knowing approval'.
Her bid was denied, with Caroline's legal bill of £65,000 previously paid by Coleen.
Mr Dunne said they were 'significant applications', adding that 'we fully accept there needed to be work done', but that Rebekah's bill for around eight weeks worth of work was 'disproportionate'.
Rebekah's lawyers are opposing the bid to reduce the costs bill.
Jamie Carpenter KC, for Rebekah, said there was 'barely a day' when her lawyers were not working at that time.
The specialist costs court in London heard that Rebekah's trial barrister, Hugh Tomlinson KC, had 'worked on the case on Christmas Day while he was on holiday'.

Mr Carpenter said that many of the lawyers worked Boxing Day and the bank holidays around Christmas on Rebekah's case.
He continued: 'No one was costs building. This was work that absolutely had to be done and it was a huge amount of work.'
The hearing before Senior Costs Judge Andrew Gordon-Saker is due to conclude on Wednesday.
In the viral social media post in October 2019 at the heart of the libel claim, Coleen said she had carried out a months-long 'sting operation' and accused Rebekah of leaking information about her private life to the press.
Coleen publicly claimed Rebekah's account was the source behind three stories in The Sun newspaper featuring fake details she had posted on her private Instagram profile - featuring her travelling to Mexico for a 'gender selection' procedure, her planning to return to TV, and the basement flooding at her home.
Following the high-profile trial, Mrs Justice Steyn ruled in Coleen's favour, finding it was 'likely' that Caroline had passed information to The Sun and that she 'knew of and condoned this behaviour'.
The judge added that Rebekah had 'actively' engaged, 'directing Ms Watt to the private Instagram account, sending her screenshots of Mrs. Rooney's posts, drawing attention to items of potential interest to the press, and answering additional queries raised by the press via Ms Watt'.
The post that accused Rebekah's social media account of leaking stories. It sparked a £3million legal battle that Coleen won after the judge agreed it was 'substantially true' and therefore not libellous
