Recently, through a youtube channel named ChrisMD, Cristiano Ronaldo shared the secret to creating a balanced body and good health at the age of 34 that few of his peers can match.
For football players, usually after the age of 30, they will decline a lot, especially in terms of physical strength. Some people even gain weight uncontrollably. However, with Cristiano Ronaldo, things are not like that. At the age of 34, the Portuguese striker still has a balanced, toned body like when he was in his twenties. He is also extremely flexible on the field and still constantly has accelerations that make opposing defenders feel scared…
So what is the secret that helps Ronaldo “run tirelessly” at the age of 34? Through the youtube channel named ChrisMD, CR7 recently shared the secrets to creating his endurance on the field over the years. Specifically, he always works hard to practice and maintain a balanced body. The body fat content of the Portuguese superstar is 7%, while the average player has an index of 10-11%. CR7’s muscle mass accounts for 50%, the normal number is less than 46%.
“60 to 70% of my life is football. I give everything not only on the training pitch but also in the process of taking care of myself. 90% of my success is built on good sleep, good training and good recovery. It’s no secret. If you don’t take care of yourself, who will?” Ronaldo shared on his YouTube channel ChrisMD.
“But honestly, I don’t follow it every day. Sometimes I still eat pizza with my kids. Otherwise I’d be bored to death. My point of view is to take good care of my body and eat properly,” the Juventus star added.
At the age of 34, while most stars have left top European football to retire in the US, China or the Middle East, Ronaldo still plays a pivotal role. In the last 7 matches for both club and national team, he has scored 8 goals and 1 assist.
