And he showed off his day’s work on Instagram by posting a video from the pitch.
It showed the Portuguese star launching through an agility course, twisting and turning through markers and leaping over hurdles.
He captioned the clip: “Happy birthday to me!!”
Ronaldo had earlier promised a “very special gift” for his social media followers ahead of his birthday, which is yet to be released.
In fact, he isn’t the only star born on February 5 with Neymar, Carlos Tevez, Billy Sharp, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and many others sharing the same birthday.
There has been much to celebrate for the forward of late, in particular his landmark 200 millionth Instagram follower.
He has also hit 19 goals in as many league games this season as Juventus sit three points clear of title contenders Inter Milan.
Whether Ronaldo wants to keep playing long into the future is very much dependent on how motivated he feels, though.
In a chat with MARCA ahead of his birthday, he admitted: “Much will depend on what I feel, on my motivation.
“Physically it will never be a problem. I am treating myself well and I think can play safely up to 40 years.”
Ronaldo was bombarded with messages wishing him many happy returns.

Excited fan Max wrote: “HAPPY BIRTHADY MY LEGEND! [sic]”
Another loved the video, commenting: “Didn’t even sweat, my friends that play football keep sweating and they don’t even play 90 minutes.”
