30 years old Yuan Herong a Chinese medicine doctor, is from China's Qingdao and has always dreamt of being a Kung Fu fighter, but her parents, both doctors, told her to go to medical school for a stable career. She began gym training started two years ago because she wanted to 'look stronger' after meeting a professional bodybuilder through work. Her gruelling workouts earned her an incredibly toned body and throngs of fans.
According to the medical worker, she doesn't need to work shifts, therefore she is able to exercise in the evening after work. She says she goes to the gym four to five times a week. Previously, she took a yoga class, but she soon realized it couldn't help her grow muscles which was her goal at the time, so she hired a private instructor for a year to give her training until she met Zhang Wei, a professional bodybuilder, through work.
Mr Zhang encouraged her to compete in bodybuilding contest and trained her systematically. Last month, the determined gym-goer tasted success when she won the second place of women's Class-A competition in a national championship held by the Chinese Bodybuilding Association.
