As the winner of 30 major trophies, five Ballon d’Ors and someone who is widely recognised as one of the greatest footballers to ever lace up a pair of boots, it’s fair to say that while natural talents have had some say in the trajectory of Cristiano Ronaldo’s star-studded career, it’s his unrelenting attitude towards making sure he is always in the shape of his life that will have a lasting impact on the Juventus star’s awe-inspiring legacy. Seriously. The man is chiselled like a God.
It’s his bulletproof abs that garner the most attention and even at 35, the supposed twilight of his time as a footballer, that famous six pack hasn’t faded an iota. Below we break down the Portuguese superstar’s two quick-hit abs workouts and while there’s nothing super-complicated in these routines, if you struggle with anything make sure you check out YouTube where there will be an array of how-to-do videos for each move included on this list. Good luck!
