As they gear up for their Live '25 shows, I am told Liam will be making the most of the swimming pool at his home in France — and jogging around Hampstead Heath, near his house in London, to work on his cardio.
Meanwhile, Noel has employed a personal trainer to keep him in shape.
A source said: 'Both brothers need to be in the best shape of their lives for the physical onslaught of touring. They're no spring chickens and are both in their fifties.
'Liam has politely declined personal trainers but brother Noel is taking all the help he can get. Liam loves jogging around Hampstead Heath and he wants to make the most of his pool.

The insider added: 'Noel was keen to take on the extra help as he needs a bit more encouragement in the fitness department.
'He's not as motivated as Liam but realises he needs to be in the best shape possible for their tour.'

The frontman underwent a major hip operation in 2023 after crippling arthritis left him with severe joint pain.

Speaking about his new lifestyle last year, he said: 'You've got to undo all the bad work you've done through getting off your head. It's time to undo it all and get back to reality.'
But Noel revealed that Oasis fans are unlikely to spot him at the gym.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2 in 2023, he told Zoe Ball: 'I'd rather spend a fortune to put a gym in my house than go through the embarrassment of being in a public gym.
'Because if I ever get photographed coming out of the gym in gym gear — it's over.
'Nobody needs to see it, nobody will ever see it.'
I can't imagine seeing Noel down the local PureGym either . . .

Yungblud – real name Dominic Harrison – previously told me that Noel thought he was very mouthy.
The singer said: 'I met Noel at a party when I was about 18 and he thought I was f***ing gobby, but I have not seen him since.'
Asked about the Oasis tour, Yungblud added: 'I know Anais well so I will probably go with her.'
But he will be sailing quickly in and out of Worthy Farm – and does not plan on packing wellies.
His wife Penny Lancaster told me: 'No, it's not really his thing. I'm sure there will be some kind of transportation that will prevent him getting his feet wet.'
She also revealed that their teenage son Alastair, and Rod's daughters Ruby and Renee, will be attending but will not get the VIP treatment – despite their dad playing on the Pyramid Stage.
Speaking at London's Chelsea Flower Show, Penny added: 'I won't be in a tent, but my son and two of Rod's daughters are going to be pitching up for five days.
'They're all going down en masse. I'll just be turning up with Rod on the day.'
THEY are preparing to welcome their first child.

'She's enjoyed experimenting with maternity style and sustainable ways to be comfortable while staying true to her usual style – renting and buying pre-loved items.'
Vick announced earlier this week that it was her final Going Home show with co-host Jamie Laing, as she headed on maternity leave.

'The song is set to form the soundtrack of the ten-part series, which has been created by Lena Dunham.'
The London-based rom-com is to hit the streamer in July and will also star White Lotus actor Will Sharpe and Emily Ratajowski.
London Bridge peaked at No3 on the UK charts 19 years ago and formed part of Fergie's debut solo studio album, The Dutchess.
The American singer last released music in 2022, with six-track EP, Fergie: Celebrating Pride.

He said: 'A 25-year-old comic now will remember The Office or the Royle Family, and will probably be even too young for that, but certainly won't have grown up watching Fawlty Towers, Dad's Army, Steptoe And Son, Rising Damp, all the things I used to watch, that I used to love thinking 'wouldn't it be brilliant to do something like that one day'. 'That's the worry in a way. If you're a fan of studio Gag rate And young writers aren't the only problem, as commissioners are less likely to take a punt on a new studio sitcom with a live audience, because they think it's too 'risky'. READ MORE ON TV STARS Instead they play it safe by making viewers feel 'awkward', as that's easier and less likely to get a bashing from critics. Lee, who names his sitcom, Mrs Brown's Boys and Miranda (which may or may not return) as the only shows left of this type, explains: 'Love or hate a studio sitcom, there's no denying — especially with Mrs Brown's Boys for example — they are really trying to go for the laughs, there's a real attempt to do that. 'So if you attempt something, and it doesn't work in the eyes of the person who doesn't like it . . . people are being more risk-averse now by saying 'why don't we make people feel awkward'.' Most read in News TV Lee prides himself on his sitcom's gag rate of five jokes every minute, as well as the comedy's ability to play out in real time, 'like a play', meaning they attempt to shoot a 30-minute episode in one go. The comic, who also stars in TV juggernauts Would I Lie To You? and The 1% Club, admits he's always 'obsessively writing jokes' during states of 'hyperfocus' which he puts down to his 'half-diagnosed' ADHD.

The series will also feature special guests, one of which will not be a Gallagher brother, despite Lee's best efforts to lure in Noel Gallagher for a cameo. Lee says: 'I texted Noel and it was the day after the Saturday release of the (reunion) tickets. 'I suspect his inbox was quite big. I said 'I know this isn't a good time but I reckon everyone is asking for tickets — and I'm probably the only one who isn't but will you be in my sitcom?' 'Never got back to me.
