The nonagenarian’s fitness exploits are the latest example of how the country’s senior citizens are embracing challenging workout routines.
She came under the spotlight after she shared longevity tips at a Yao Ethnic Minority Medicine Festival in Jianghua Yao Autonomous County in central Hunan province in early June, Jianghua TV reported.
“Maybe my movements in doing the push-ups are not up to standard, but I insist on doing 200 each day,” the woman surnamed Li, was quoted as saying.
She said she habitually exercises at home because it often rains and it is not convenient for her to take part in outdoor activities.
When reporters arrived at Li’s home, she happily obliged them by completing 100 sit-ups on her bed and 200 push-ups on the floor.

She also skilfully spins the hula hoop, according to the report.
Li also revealed that she bathes her feet in hot water every evening.
