A 60-year-old female fitness enthusiast in East China's Jiangsu Province has become a part-time aerobics teacher at five gyms after retiring, prompting admiration from netizens. "Exercise can really make people younger, and I think she even looks like a 40-year-old," one netizen said.

The lady, surnamed Bao, said she started to be obsessed with going to the gym at the age of 38 and has been keeping fitness for 22 years. "I have been doing exercises for more than 20 years and the biggest feeling is that it has brought me confidence, health and a kindred spirit," she said.

"Recently I have been particularly fond of weight training and really enjoy the feeling of sweating," Bao said, adding that 20 years of daily exercise has brought immeasurable changes to her body, especially a good sleep quality, and fitness is now a part of her life.

"I'm only in my 20s, but my exercise habits are far inferior to this aunt's, and it's time to make a change," a netizen wrote on the Chinese social media platform Sina Weibo.
