Cristiano Ronaldo, the 39-year-old Portuguese football star, recently shared a video on social media showcasing his cold-water immersion routine during his Christmas holiday in Lapland, Finland.
In the footage, Ronaldo is seen wearing only shorts as he submerges himself into freezing waters, demonstrating his commitment to recovery practices even amidst festive celebrations.
Accompanying him on this holiday were his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, and their children—Cristiano Jr., Alana Martina, Eva Maria, Mateo, and Bella. The family embraced various winter activities, including skiing and snowmobiling, despite temperatures dropping to minus eight degrees Celsius.
Cold-water immersion, commonly known as cold plunging, involves submerging oneself in cold water to aid muscle recovery and reduce inflammation. Athletes like Ronaldo often incorporate this practice into their routines to enhance performance and expedite recovery.
Ronaldo's dedication to such recovery techniques underscores his commitment to maintaining peak physical condition throughout his career. This holiday break precedes his return to action with Al-Nassr on January 9, as he continues his pursuit of reaching 1,000 career goals, having already amassed 910.
