The nonagenarian\u2019s fitness exploits are the latest example of how the country\u2019s senior citizens are embracing challenging workout routines.<\/p>\n
She came under the spotlight after she shared longevity tips at a Yao Ethnic Minority Medicine Festival in Jianghua Yao Autonomous County in central Hunan province in early June, Jianghua TV reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe my movements in doing the push-ups are not up to standard, but I insist on doing 200 each day,\u201d the woman surnamed Li, was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n
She said she habitually exercises at home because it often rains and it is not convenient for her to take part in outdoor activities.<\/p>\n
When reporters arrived at Li\u2019s home, she happily obliged them by completing 100 sit-ups on her bed and 200 push-ups on the floor.<\/p>\n
She also skilfully spins the hula hoop, according to the report.<\/p>\n
Li also revealed that she bathes her feet in hot water every evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 92-year-old grandmother in China has wowed mainland internet users by doing 200 push-ups and 100 sit-ups each…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4322],"tags":[62918,72501,72498,1395,16536,12058,72502,51334,72496,1154,390,34834,1630,72499,72500,24934,72494,72493,7078,105,72503,72506,72505,72504,4716,3912,72497,55571,7212,19271,10741,72495,182,8708,4303,16,15,5129],"class_list":["post-175229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-activities","tag-bathe","tag-bed","tag-china","tag-chinese","tag-college","tag-cramp","tag-elderly","tag-ethnic-minority","tag-exercise","tag-family","tag-festival","tag-fitness","tag-floor","tag-foot","tag-god","tag-grandma","tag-grandmother","tag-hair","tag-health","tag-hot-water","tag-keeping-fit","tag-kindergarten","tag-legs","tag-longevity","tag-medicine","tag-outdoor","tag-push-ups","tag-rain","tag-routine","tag-shanghai","tag-sit-ups","tag-social-media","tag-teacher","tag-tips","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-workout"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114663905397080977","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
