The Portuguese player wasn't too impressed by Ferdinand's workouts, but it seems that the former center back took his comments lightly.

Who could have thought a reply from Cristiano Ronaldo would make Instagram go crazy?

It's no secret that Rio Ferdinand and the Portuguese ace share a good relationship after playing together at Manchester United. But Real Madrid's all-time top scorer took it to the next level by commenting Ferdinand's workout technique, which was rather strange to him.

Here's Ferdinand's Instagram post.

 

Bear crawls this morning.. working on core & shoulder stability!! These mornings getting cold & frosty!

Ronaldo's response, while hilarious, seemed to speak for most of those who watched Ferdinand's post.

Moments later, the former center back replied, giving a more accurate description of what benefit he got out of such a strange exercise.

We're not sure if Cristiano will start working out like his former team-mate does, but he surely stole some of his thunder after sending that innocent comment.
