If there’s one person who is indisputably in the form of his life, it’s world soccer icon Cristiano Ronaldo. In an effort to help others improve their wellbeing, this soccer star decided to share some of his regular workouts. Here is how you can train in the gym like Cristiano Ronaldo to boost your physical fitness.

Living Room Cup

While some people may believe that getting fit requires long, grueling workouts that go on for hours, Ronaldo has proven them wrong with his Living Room Cup workout. Each exercise included in this workout is just 45 seconds long, in which time you have to try to complete as many reps as possible.

The Ronaldo Circuit

If you’re looking to activate your leg muscles, then this is the workout for you. This workout involves eight barbell squats, 10 box jumps, eight broad jumps, eight jumping lunges, and 10 lateral bounds. Remember to repeat the circuit three times for maximum benefit.

Quick Cardio

After completing a full week of exercise, Ronaldo likes to fill his Sundays with a quick burst of high-intensity exercise. He does 10 sets of rope jumps for one minute each, followed by 10 sets of 50-meter sprints.

The motto of women today is they can have it all. Does this apply to the elite athlete who is also a mom? These top athletes have shared how they feel about working out after giving birth.

Amy Rodriguez (Soccer Player)

Amy is blunt about the difficulties she has faced, “It’s certainly not easy to bounce back after having a baby—I can say that firsthand.”

She’s back on top now but compares returning after pregnancy to returning after an injury! “I had relatively easy pregnancies and deliveries, but by no means was the post-partum easy. I had to completely retrain and get in shape from the ground up. I had never taken that much time off from my sport. My muscles were essentially gone (compared to what I had before) and I had to lose 35 pounds of baby weight.”

When asked what recommendations she have for new moms, sha replied: “Be prepared for the craziest, hardest roller-coaster of your life, but it will also be one of the proudest accomplishments you will have. I was fortunate to play for a great organisation and to have wonderful support around me (my husband and my family). Without them, I couldn’t have done it.”

Dana Vollmer (Swimmer)

Dana says she’s very content with the way things were after the birth, “I feel happier with my sport than I ever have.” She indicates that for her, things are in better balance now.

Nia Ali (Track And Field)

Nia says that having a baby has given her an advantage, “My mentality in training and competition has gotten leaps better.” Which is ideal for a hurdler like Nia.

Paula Radcliffe (Marathon Runner)

Paula says that she finds that being an athlete and a mom is a perfect combination because it gives her lots of time to spend with her kids. She certainly didn’t have any problems getting back to the top after becoming a mom.

Whether moms work in an office, fly helicopters, or run marathons for a living, it’s always an adjustment to return after having a baby. But whatever it “all” is, moms are no less capable than anyone else to have it.

Why Lindsey Vonn Is A Historical Athlete https://yourdailysportfix.com/why-lindsey-vonn-is-a-historical-athlete/ Mon, 09 Apr 2018 13:07:36 +0000 https://yourdailysportfix.com/?p=124 Lindsey Vonn, the 33-year-old Olympic skier from Minnesota, has been hitting the slopes for nearly her entire life.

Lindsey Vonn, the 33-year-old Olympic skier from Minnesota, has been hitting the slopes for nearly her entire life. She made her debut at the World Cup in 2000 at the age of 16. Since then, she has won three Olympic gold medals, has collected over 20 world cup titles and over 80 race wins in total.

A Natural Talent

In the sport of skiing, it takes a special kind of talent, combined with a level of commitment and competitive drive that most could never imagine. That’s because in these races, it comes down to milliseconds and precise angles. In one race, Vonn beat Italian skier, Sofia Goggia, by just two-hundredths of a second, and in most races, she reaches up to 80 miles per hour, leaving no room for error.

But it wasn’t all easy for Vonn, who has faced multiple serious injuries that would cause anyone to hesitate about getting back up on the horse. She’s suffered concussions, torn ligaments, fractures, broken bones and even serious abraisons to her face. In one race, she fell and somersaulted down the slope screaming as she passed spectators.

Over time, she has developed a relentless determination to be the best, which has led her to be one of the top athletes in the world and one of the strongest female skiers in history.

Making A Name For Herself

Vonn is only one of six women who have come in first place in all six slope styles in the World Cup including downhill, giant slalom, slalom, super combine and super-G. Now, she’s asking the Federation Internationale de Ski to allow her to race in the men’s downhill competition. After being initially turned down, Vonn is recruiting male skiers to back her up in her request.

With her unparralled skills, fearlessness and persistence, Vonn is easily one of the most impressive athletes out there, male or female.
