‘Just a hobby’: Chinese female bodybuilder speaks on viral fame (VIDEO)
Chinese viral sensation Yuan Herong, who sent social media into a frenzy with her stunning pictures, has spoken about her internet fame, saying that bodybuilding and grueling gym workouts are “just a hobby.”
The model, who previously took part in bodybuilding competitions, swapped the full-time fitness industry for the medical profession, and now works as a doctor in a Chinese hospital.
The 31-year-old stunner, dubbed ‘Chun-Li’ for her resemblance to the iconic Street Fighter video game character, stressed that the routines in the gym are just her hobby.

“I just take it as a hobby to exercise naturally without medication,” she said, adding that she attends the gym from four to five times a week under the watchful eye of professional bodybuilder Zhang Wei.
