A 63-year-old woman in China has won plaudits online for her youthful appearance, lean figure and positive approach to ageing.

Zhenzhen, from Yunnan province in southwestern China, has been training regularly in the gym for eight years following retirement.

She was born in October 1960, is 160cm tall, weighs 46kg and has a fat percentage of 17, leaving people in awe of her slim and youthful appearance.

In a viral post on Xiaohongshu, Zhenzhen opened up about how fitness helped her overcome the fear of ageing.

“Now I can feel how the vitality of my body is slowly improving each day, and I sweat for the best feeling of accomplishment,” she said.

“I don’t think any of us can overcome ageing, but if I am healthy and happy as I get old, then I have nothing to be anxious about.”
