Even at 38, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner continues intensive bodybuilding training to maintain a perfect body and continue to perform well on the pitch.
The Saudi championship is now on pause due to the Asian Cup which will begin on January 12. The Saudi Pro League will resume on February 7.
Some players playing in this championship and not playing in the continental competition therefore took the opportunity to go on vacation. For his part, Cristiano Ronaldo chose not to rest. The Portuguese striker, author of 44 goals in 50 matches since his arrival at Al-Nassr FC, is actively continuing his bodybuilding program, as you can see in this video.

Typically, when he’s in the gym, the 38-year-old splits his workout between cardiovascular exercises and weight training. “It is important to ensure that all areas of the body are targeted and that the exercises improve both strength and endurance. On the pitch, the emphasis is on high-intensity drills that reflect match situations. “We do a lot of sprint drills in training and they can be incorporated into your workout whether you are in a gym or outside,” explained the five-time Ballon d’Or last year, cited by Goal.
