Believe it or not, the woman above is 49-years-old and she has a
22-year-old son who looks like her age mate. Liu Yelin has been called
China's fittest mum because of how young and fit she looks.
Photos
of the almost 50-year-old mother showing off her toned frame have gone
viral since it hit the web.
The mother, who is from Xinyang city in
central China’s Henan Province, has a flawless skin and well-sculpted
cheekbones that younger women envy. People mostly make the mistake of
thinking Liu is the girlfriend of her grown son.
Speaking on the
secret to her enviable physique, Liu reveals that it didn't come easy
and she had to work for it. She works out for two hours every day. She
loves running, swimming and boxing and makes time to engage in them
all. Liu advised that it is important to mix up different forms of
exercise so that the body gets cardiovascular as well as strength
training. She started working out seriously when she was 30 and is
pleased with the result.
She learnt to swim very late -when she
was already 30 - but she has become so good at it that last year, she
swam across the Malacca Strait between Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra –
a distance of around 37 miles. In September she plans to swim the Han
River in Seoul, South Korea.
