The grind never stops for Lionel Messi - even over the holidays - as the Argentina captain prepares for a long season ahead of him.
Messi was seen in his own 'iron palace' alongside wife Antonela Roccuzzo as they both showed off their physiques.
Another full-on season of football awaits Messi as his Inter Miami team is set to go on a lengthy preseason schedule before the MLS season begins.
Inter Miami is set to play an unprecedented six preseason matches - with five of them being played on the road.
Currently, the team is scheduled to play 42 matches - all of which come before the Herons could theoretically make the playoffs.

Messi has been adjusting to his life in Miami ever since moving there over the summer
He'll be in for a long season - with over 40 matches planned for Inter Miami alone
That's also not including any games the team plays in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup (where Miami will enter in the fourth round) or the Leagues Cup.
Of course, Messi will not be playing in all of those games - because there's also a Copa America to contend with this year.
Argentina is looking to defend its title as kings of South America this summer in the United States.
All of this is to say that the 36-year-old forward will need to be in peak physical condition in order to stay healthy and at the top of his game.
Last season, Messi played the final half of his season with PSG and then almost immediately jumped over to Miami halfway through theirs.
He'll have been off for about a month before this new season begins.
