Ronaldo says his eight kilos overweight
Posted by: Ronaldo in AC Milan, Personal, tags: Injury, Overweight, RonaldoRonaldo has revealed on Italian TV that he is eight kilos overweight and hopes to lose most of it within a month.
“I am 1.84 metres tall and today weigh 95 kilos,” said Ronaldo.
“In the 2002 World Cup, I weighed 87 kilos and that is what I’m trying to get back to. That’s the weight I need to reach if I’m going to get back to my best.”
Ronaldo ruptured a tendon in his left knee during a Serie A game against Livorno in February and is expected to need at least another seven months to recover.
The injury was similar to two injuries to his right knee earlier in his career.
“I had to stay in bed for a month,” he said. “I am starting to use an exercise bike, I’m swimming a lot and using up more calories than I’m taking in.”
“…I think I will be close to the ideal weight in a month.”
He added: “I’m not a physiotherapist but I know what I have to do.
“My first recovery took one and a half years. I feel this time it will take much less and I think I will be back in half the time.”
