No rest for Ronaldo, Christmas day at gym

Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't do rest. Forget turkey or mince pies, it's dumbbells and a running machine for the Real Madrid star, who decided to spend Christmas Day working out in the gym.

The Real Madrid star declined the opportunity to put his feet up and relax as he hit the gym in preparation for the clash with Real Sociedad on December 30.

La Liga resumes on December 30 after a ten-day break, with Madrid facing Real Sociedad aiming to cut the gap on league leaders Barcelona, who are currently two points clear of Rafael Benitez's side in the table.

And Ronaldo is clearly leaving no stone unturned in his dedication to the cause, hitting the gym and working up a sweat to ensure he's in peak condition when the football gets back underway in Spain.
