Cristiano Ronaldo is famous for his incredible athleticism and commitment to staying fit. While his game skills are what he's most recognized for, his dedication to fitness is truly inspiring to all.
Here’s everything Ronaldo does to maintain his lean and sculpted physique:
Exhausting Fitness Routine
According to various online sources, the footballer spends 25 to 30 minutes doing cardio and focused weight training five times a week.
‘Magic’ Chicken
Ronaldo is known for sticking to nutrient-dense foods like fresh fish, avocado, quinoa, and fresh fruits. His go-to protein is chicken, which he has even called 'magical' because of its reported health benefits.
Polyphasic Sleep
The footballer is said to stick to a strict 90-minute nap schedule. This technique, known as 'polyphasic sleep,' involves breaking up your normal sleep cycle into shorter nap sessions, similar to how babies snooze.
Nutritional Supplements
Ronaldo has been the face of Herbalife for more than ten years and attributes his award-winning performance to the nutritional sports supplement brand.
Cryotherapy Sessions
Cryotherapy chambers work by using liquid nitrogen to freeze the air inside the space to around -200C. The goal is to reduce swelling from injury and inflammation, as well as improve circulation.
Cardio Training
His workout focuses a lot on cardio training, like high-intensity interval training, running, sprints, and cycling.
No alcohol rule
Ronaldo chooses not to drink alcohol because of personal reasons connected to his father's battle with alcoholism. His father sadly passed away at the age of 52 due to alcohol-related problems
