Cristiano Ronaldo showed off his fit physique as he posed alongside his son outside a cryo chamber for a social media snap on Monday.

The sportsman, 37, and 11-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo Jr stood together outside the room as they prepared to plunge their bodies into freezing temperatures for the treatment which can help ease muscle pain.

Sharing the photo on Twitter, the Manchester United football player wrote: 'Recovery time with my boy,' along with an ice block emoji. 

The father-son duo wore underwear from Cristiano's CR7 men's and boy's range, with the star's son wearing a pair of black gloves before heading into the chamber.

A number of celebrities swear by cryotherapy, also known as cold therapy, which can also aid weight loss and slow down the physical effects of ageing.

Ronaldo's son was born in San Diego, California in 2010 when he announced he would be caring for him under his exclusive guardianship while his mother decided to keep her identity confidential.

It comes after Cristiano and his partner Georgina Rodriguez revealed earlier this month that the name of their newborn daughter is Bella Esmeralda.

The footballer's girlfriend, 28, announced the name they had picked alongside three adorable photos which saw the little one sleeping in her cot... after confirming the child's twin brother tragically died at birth.

Tagging her location as Manchester, the photos saw their tot appearing to crack a smile while wear a pink top as well as a white Moschino number and a knitted hat.  

She wrote in her caption: 'Bella Esmeralda [green heart] 180422.'
