According to Chinese media, including the Shanghai Observer, Wang Jianlong (55), who lives in Shanghai, China, recently won a bodybuilding competition, beating other young participants.
Nicknamed the `muscle grandmother' in China, she said she hopes her victory is just an ageing number and will encourage middle-aged women to pursue healthy lifestyles.
Having worked out for more than 20 years, she said she started bodybuilding to improve her posture and avoid injuries when doing other exercises.
This resulted in her being a 30-year-old woman with a body age, and her body fat percentage remained between 12% and 15% for many years, she said.
"What is more important than looking young is that you are healthy even if you look old," he continued.
She trains for an hour and a half for at least six days a week.
It mainly has a deadlift weight of 127 kg, a squat weight of 95 kg, and a bench press weight of 72 kg.
She said she sometimes enjoyed delicious but unhealthy foods like hot pot because she valued muscle mass and physical function more than body fat percentage.
He also recommended that if you sleep more than 8 hours a day, eat enough meat and eggs, drink a lot of water, and exercise every day, you can have a healthier body age than your age.
"There is no specific time for exercise. You just have to start working out by doing 10 push-ups every day," she emphasized. "You have to love yourself first to love your family better," he added.
