Cristiano Ronaldo scored a crucial equalizer for Portugal in their victory over Spain, securing their second UEFA Nations League championship. Ronaldo is still defying age as one of the most well-known and sought-after football players in the world. At 40, he is still in excellent shape, demonstrating exceptional fitness and endurance, even though the majority of athletes quit at around 35. Let's find out what keeps this football legend's fitness game so strong.

Ronaldo's secret to keeping in shape at age 40

The Portuguese footballer disclosed crucial practices that enable him to maintain his peak physical condition even at 40 in a YouTube interview with Whoop on May 20. He said that he makes it a point to get at least seven hours of good sleep and walk 17,000 steps every day. That's how I live my life, always on the go, whether it's football or playing with my children. As a result, I'm not shocked. I think that sleep is the most crucial weapon in my arsenal. It is the only opportunity to truly rest and reset," he said, adding that he typically sleeps between 11 PM and 8:30 or 8:45 AM.

"When you're younger, you think you're unbreakable," said Cristiano, as he pondered how his training perspective had changed. However, football becomes more physically demanding as you get older. You must take care of that. You have to be clever and act in a unique way. Over the years, I've learned and adapted year after year.

Ronaldo's training schedule

Whether it's game day or not, Ronaldo is always either on the field or in the gym, and his training is still unrelenting. He concentrates on weight training to increase his strength at home and uses high-intensity sprints to keep his cardiovascular health. He argues that every hour of strenuous exercise should be counterbalanced by an equal amount of deliberate rest. His comprehensive approach includes routine stretching in addition to cryotherapy, compression treatment, sauna treatments, and cold showers.
