Ronaldo may turn 36 this season but is still in stunning physical condition.

It is a far cry from the skinny youngster who arrived at Manchester United in 2003 from Sporting Lisbon.

The incredible body transformation - arguably one of the most impressive in world football - is down to a Pilates-based routine that focuses on resistance work to strengthen his core.

He has also previously revealed the strict diet has kept him in sensational shape throughout his career.

The ex-Manchester United man enjoyed plenty of hours soaking up the sun during lockdown and brief off-season - and made the most of the chances to show off his abs.

But despite his pristine shape, Ronaldo will not play every game this season as Juventus boss Andrea Pirlo looks to manage his minutes.

Speaking on the subject to Sky Sports Italia, Pirlo said: "When it comes to less important games, we'll try to give him a rest.

"He's a very intelligent lad who knows his body very well, so he is aware of when it's time to rest or to step it up."
