Previously, Zhenzhen was a project manager for a company specializing in fire protection systems. When she turned 55, she began to feel a lot of free time and was afraid of getting older. Her right ankle injury and knee pain have significantly limited her mobility. The image of an old man hunched over, dragging his feet with a cane inspired her to be determined to change. “I don’t want to become like that,” Zhenzhen said.
With the support of a personal trainer, she focuses on strengthening her muscles to protect her joints and improve balance. Exercise gives her new vitality. She was engrossed in training, “forgetting that she was the oldest person here”.
Zhenzhen used to think she was past the time of wearing leggings and tight dresses. However, now, she is proud of her toned figure, no longer worried about excess fat. “I love the lines of my body after each workout,” she said.

On his 63rd birthday, Zhenzhen said: “I promised the coach that I would practice until I was 65 years old.” But recently, she decided not to stop until she is 70 years old.
“I will continue,” the woman shared.
