Getting the famous six pack abs like Cristiano Ronaldo has, can be a hard challenge. One thing you must have in mind is that your abs definition will only show up after you achieve very low body fat levels. If you're still a bit fat, it doesn't matter if you do 1000 or 3000 abs per day, because your abs will always keep beneath some of your fat skin. That being said, the first advice is to work on getting your body fat levels at 10% or below that, and assure you burn your excessive fat faster than usual. To improve the core strenght, you should aim at exercises such as planks and renegade rows, as those will help more than regular crunches, in order to reduce abdominal fat. As a curiosity, in 2009, British media "Daily Star" released a piece reporting that Cristiano Ronaldo had a 3000 sit ups daily routine (3.000 abs per day), even quoting a close source to Ronaldo saying: "He can spend well over an hour every day toning his abs, sometimes while watching TV."

Bottom of line, following these training exercises, drills and tips can help you becoming more healthier, since they are based on Cristiano Ronaldo's workout routine, but you'll need to be strongly motivated and disciplined. Take Ronaldoexample, as he has always worked hard and he's mentality strong, allowing him to keep focused on his targets during his entire life so far.
