On February 4, Cristiano Ronaldo will turn 39 years old. Although at that age several footballers are already retired, CR7 is completely valid. He has just been crowned the top scorer in 2023, thanks to the 54 goals he scored with the Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia shirt. The record is not minor, since in this list he surpassed names like Harry Kane, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé.
Of course, these days, the Portuguese is enjoying a well-deserved vacation, with his children and Georgina Rodríguez, his partner. In fact, together with one of his heirs, he challenged himself on social networks by executing free throws. However, despite the fun, the Bug does not leave aside caring for him. Also in recent days, a record of the player training on a machine went viral, in which he worked his arms and also his legs. Given this, several questions arose: What is it like to be Cristiano Ronaldo? What are his work routines to stay in top physical shape at that age? What should an athlete of that level eat? Here the answers.
Like many elite footballers, CR7 not only trains under the orders of his club, but also does so individually. The forward performs cardio, sit-ups, squats, planks, leg and shoulder extensions, Bulgarian lunge and various impact exercises.
Also, in some moments of great overload during the year, he spends an hour a day in the pool, with the aim of relaxing his muscles. Finally, on weekends he does a stationary bike.

Contrary to what you might think, Cristiano Ronaldo does not eat expensive foods in a large part of his diet. This was revealed by Italian chef Giorgio Barone, who worked for the footballer and his family. “There are no expensive foods. “I use organic and natural foods: fish, chicken, beef, eggs, avocado, coconut oil and black rice,” the professional told The Mirror.
In the Portuguese house there are many restrictions regarding sugar, fat and carbohydrates. As for proteins, the soccer player generally prefers seafood such as shrimp or octopus, lean meats and whole grains.
Finally, the Italian emphasized the importance of rest: “It is important to drink a lot of water, but purified. And drink a lot. Of course, everything is combined with hard training. But rest is as essential as training and nutrition, even in the afternoon. And eat early at night,” he closed.
