HAD some fun with the baby oil Cristiano?
FIT: Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo strips down to his boxers to showcase his physique [PH]
And he's not afraid to show off his toned physique.
The 29-year-old has stripped down to his boxers to model the new Spring/Summer 2015 collection of his CR7 by Cristiano Ronaldo Underwear brand.
Speaking about his new line of kecks he said: “I love vibrant colours and underwear is a great way to experiment with different looks.
"The bright pink and red in the new collection and the bold patterns gives it a distinctive look for Spring/Summer - I like to make sure that the collection stands out! I’m really proud of it.”
And, for the time ever, Cristiano has provided an insight into his health and fitness regime.
Here's how you can get a bod like a sportstar.
Oiling up optional.
1. Learn to train your mind as well as your body. Mental strength is just as important as physical strength and will help you achieve your goals.
2. Be disciplined. Keeping yourself motivated and sticking to your routine is key. For me, there is no room for easing off so I have to be strict.
3. Set yourself goals. It will help to keep you focused and work towards something.
4. Working with a training partner is a good way to add a bit of competitiveness and help push yourself. If you train with someone who is a similar level to you then you will help push each-other.
WORKOUT: The footballer says cardio sessions are important for staying trim [PH]
5. Proper sleep is really important for getting the most out of training. I go to bed early and get up early, especially before matches. Sleep helps muscles recover which is really important.“High intensity is important to get your blood pumping and to increase stamina”Cristiano Ronaldo
6. Warming up properly prevents injury. In training we do a few laps of the pitch, stretching and cardio warm up exercises. Make sure you do something similar in your training, even if it is jogging to the gym or a warm up on the treadmill or bicycle.
7. Mix it up. I recommend a combination of cardio (running and rowing) and weight training to ensure that workouts target all areas of the body and increase both strength and stamina. It also helps to keep it interesting.
9. Cardio sessions are also key for building up endurance and stamina, and to stay trim. Try to do periods of around 30 minutes, increasing the number of sessions as you get stronger.
10. Fit in exercise wherever you can. You can do an abs workout in your bedroom when you wake up in the morning or before you go to bed. If you get into a routine then it makes it easier as it will become a habit.
TRAIN: Cristiano combines his workout with a good, healthy diet [PH]
11. A good workout must be combined with a good diet. I eat a
high protein diet, with lots of wholegrain carbs, fruit and vegetables
and avoid sugary foods. I love fish, especially the Portuguese dish
bacalhau à braz, and at restaurants I’ll order a steak with salad.
12. Make sure you stay hydrated. Drinking water is so important. I also avoid alcohol.
13.
Eat regularly. If you train regularly it’s important to keep energy
levels high to fuel your body for better performance. I sometimes eat up
to six smaller meals a day to make sure I have enough energy to perform
each session at top level.
14. I always make sure I have good
music to listen to. It helps you zone out, get motivated and do your
best. I like to listen to hip hop and reggaeton.
15. Relax.
Training and physical sessions are most important, but living a relaxed
lifestyle helps you to be the best you can be, physically and mentally. I
spend my free time with family and friends, which keeps me relaxed and
in a positive mind-set.
