Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates his 40th birthday today, and remarkably, he continues to break records on the football pitch.
Most players would have retired by now, but not Ronaldo. The day before his milestone birthday, he shared a photo on Instagram featuring himself in £4,000 cryo compression boots to aid muscle recovery and maintain peak performance.
He even has his own cryotherapy chamber at home, demonstrating his commitment to preparation for each match. For Ronaldo, there are no days off when it comes to fitness and extending his career.
A significant part of his success lies in his daily routine and body care. Ronaldo remains in peak condition at 40, spending up to four hours daily in the gym.
His partner, Georgina Rodriguez, supports his regimen and ensures he follows a strict diet. Ronaldo often works out with family, including his son Cristiano Jr., and engages in high-intensity interval training, sprinting, and cycling five days a week.
Ronaldo’s diet is equally meticulous. He avoids sugar and carbonated drinks, opting instead for chicken, fish, fresh vegetables, and black coffee. Alcohol is off-limits as well. Recently, the couple shared a photo on Instagram of themselves enjoying an electrolyte drink in the sauna.
When it comes to sleep, Ronaldo doesn’t just aim for eight hours like most people. Instead, he swears by sleeping in five 90-minute cycles to align with his body’s natural rhythms, prioritizing quality over quantity.
Ronaldo’s dedication to his daily routine has contributed significantly to his extraordinary career, proving he is more than just style on the pitch.
