Liu Yifei Shows Off Single-Arm Plank And Toned Bod On Social Media
From getting fat-shamed to being our new fitness inspiration.
Remember Chinese actress Liu Yifei’s promise to plank for three minutes every day as part of her fitness regimen? Looks like she’s not only made good on her word, but also stepped it up a notch.
The 33-year-old, who was fat-shamed by netizens earlier this year, took to Weibo recently to post a photo of herself attempting a single-arm plank.
“[This was] a couple months ago. How long can you plank? (Actually I am not that steady),” she wrote.
Colour us impressed
Judging by the comments, netizens were very impressed with Yifei’s core and upper body strength. Then again, she's the butt-kicking Mulan.
“I can only manage a few seconds. You are amazing!” replied one netizen, while another said: “I can't even plank for a minute!"
Train like Mulan
According to a HK01 report, Yifei, who previously weighed 50kg, started working out actively to lose weight for Mulan.
She also embarked on a strict diet. Breakfast comprised of a hard-boiled egg, a glass of milk and half an apple. Lunch and dinner was steamed vegetables and a bowl of rice. And she eventually lost 7kg.
Flexing her muscles
She’s not only kept the weight off, but also developed a ripped bod while at it, as this post-workout selfie proves.
Her toned arms and back quickly attracted the attention of fans who commented on the post using clapping emojis. Some also gushed about her “good physique”, flawless and radiant skin.
Well, never underestimate what a workout can do for your skin.
She's got abs too
