The girl from Qingyuan, southern China’s Guangdong province, is nicknamed Xiaoqilin.

Videos of her performing difficult training tasks with agility at home, which show off the muscular strength she has built up in her abs and legs, have gone viral on social media.

Xiaoqilin’s mother, surnamed Guo, said her daughter began training at home with her father, a professional strength coach, after becoming obsessed with swimming a year ago.

Her father turned their living room into a gym, filling it with all kinds of fitness equipment.

He designed a training session for his daughter that lasts 20 to 40 minutes a day, during which she mimics swimming strokes to train the muscles needed for the sport.
