I do a combination of exercises with different objectives, may those be explosive power, flexibility, or cardio. Everything is part of a master plan that has made me into the player who I am today. When I do have downtime this summer, I hope to spend as much time as possible with my family and loved ones.
Apart from sticking to a strict diet, I also make sure to always have my favorite healthy snacks around me, things like fresh cut fruit and protein bars.

Jose Mourinho stopped in mid-stride, a look of annoyance crossing his face.
As his players cycled through shooting drills, he marched to the edge of the field and picked up a white practice cone, took three paces, and carefully replaced it. Madridistas are counting on the organizational genius of Mourinho to make a dent in the dominance of hated rivals Barcelona, and that journey begins here, on the campus of UCLA in Westwood.
What follows is a breakdown of the session with commentary. The players jog around, then circle up at midfield. There is not much talking, other than from Brazilian defender Marcelo, who chatters away happily while his teammates go about their stretching.
Then repeat. In the shooting drills, the players high-step cones, weave through two flags, and receive a pass from an assistant. After passing it back, they high-step more cones, receive the backpass and shoot on goal.
Ronaldo and Marcelo are by far the most vocal players on the pitch. Marcelo is goofy, bumping into teammates playfully and making faces. Up close, his athleticism is truly impressive. Bouncing through the flags like a jackhammer, he clangs a hard low shot off the post. Iker Casillas and his backup are working off in the corner with a pair of goalkeeping coaches.
No cannon fodder for Saint Iker. Mesut Ozil is just like he appears on TV, trotting around almost nonchalantly. In the small-sided games, his touch in tight places is exquisite. New signing Fabio Controao is not hard to spot with his bleached blond hair.
The white house Only people who work for the club can enter the area reserved for the youth teams. Visiting teams and referees can enter their own dressing rooms but not the rest of the building. Fans are allowed to enter the playing field area but they must do so from the outside of the building. Opposite the dressing rooms, there are seven pitches for the youth teams.
Training pitches The first team players have their own private car park for their vehicles. This is also where we can find the offices of the managers and coaches of the first team and is a space where the players have everything they need for their job. From there, players enter the medical centre which is one of the best in the world. On the ground floor, there is a large physiotherapy room and an amazing hydrotherapy area which has four swimming pools, two small baths with hot and cold water , as well as a sauna and a Turkish bath.
On the top floor there is a VIP room for the players and some 2, m2 of space reserved for the media. The first team dressing room is a dream come true for those who have made their way up through the youth system to the first team.
It leads directly to a spectacular gym, which is the largest single structure in the City and is also connected to the training pitches. Residences for the First Team and Academy Sides The residence boasts an indoor swimming pool, games room, cinema and 57 individual bedrooms across an area of more than 7, meters squared.
