's Fitness Journey: Maintaining a Slim Figure Through Years of Exercise

As a wife of Joey Yung, has always been quite popular, and her outfits often spark discussions online. She's also admired for her figure, attracting much envy. It's undeniable that 's love for sports and fitness is a frequently discussed topic. With consistent dedication to fitness for years, she's 45 years old but maintains a slender figure, with no excess fat, and a tight, even complexion.

If you pay attention, you'll see her various fitness updates, such as jogging, participating in international marathons, surfing, and strength training in gyms. Even when she posted a picture of her abs with the caption: 'Strength training is essential, it increases muscle mass and metabolism, don't just do cardio.' This simple sentence conveys a lot of information, like the importance of strength training and the limitations of relying solely on cardio.

When we see her abs, we can't help but feel a sense of admiration, because she doesn't show a six-pack line, but a proper six-pack, which can only be achieved through long-term abdominal muscle training. It's absolutely commendable to maintain a self-disciplined lifestyle and exercise habits.

Actually, every time a celebrity shares their fitness updates, it's for self-encouragement, aiming to boost their motivation. Whether it's weight loss or shaping, they all need reasonable diet control and long-term, regular exercise. It's not just about putting in effort; the results will follow. However, for weight loss and fitness, persistence is key.

Therefore, we shouldn't compare ourselves to celebrities. Instead, we should focus on doing what's best for ourselves, controlling our diet and utilizing available resources for exercise. Regarding abdominal muscle training, we don't need to go to the gym; we can achieve the same results at home. Here's a set of abdominal exercises you can do at home.

Exercise One: Bent-Leg Crunches (15-20 reps)

Lie on your back with your upper back touching the ground, legs straight and extended, arms extended upwards

• Keep your lower back in contact with the ground, engage your abs to curl upwards, try to bring your hands towards your feet
• Pause briefly at the top, then slowly return to the starting position, and repeat
• Exercise Two: Alternating Leg Raises (16-20 reps)

Lie on your back, upper body on the ground, legs straight and extended, feet off the ground, arms placed alongside your body

• Keep your upper body stable, alternately raise your legs to vertical, then lower them back down
• Pay attention to maintain continuous abdominal tension throughout the movement, lower and raise your legs, don't touch the ground
• Exercise Three: Side Support with Rotation (Double-sided 15-20 reps)

Side support, the forearm is bent at the elbow at the level of the shoulder, support the body, the upper arm extends forward, the double arms are on the same plane, the legs are extended straight

• Keep the body stable, rotate the upper shoulder forward and downward, while the upper arm circles over the body
• Pause briefly at the top, then slowly return to the starting position in the opposite direction
• Exercise Four: Alternating Knee Raises (16-20 reps)

Bend down, double arms at the level of the shoulder, elbow flexion, back straight, legs extended backward

• Maintain a stable body, don't shake excessively, raise one leg to the action point, pause slightly, contract abdominal muscles
• Then slowly return and repeat on the other side
• Exercise Five: Diagonal Knee Lift with Shoulder Raise (16-20 reps)

Lie on your back, lower back in contact with the ground, shoulders raised off the ground, double arms placed alongside the body, legs extended forward

• Engage your abs to raise one knee, while simultaneously raising your upper body
• Pause briefly, contract your abdominal muscles, then slowly return and repeat on the other side
• Warm up appropriately before training, ensure the quality of the movement, focus on the dominant muscle activation to complete the movement, take 30 seconds of rest between each movement, perform 3-4 sets, and stretch your abdominal muscles after training.

For those with a high body fat percentage, don't prioritize abdominal muscle training first; instead, focus on reducing fat through diet control and regular exercise to create a calorie deficit, and maintain this deficit.

Of course, no matter what situation you're in, achieving good results requires persistent effort. So, keep striving and keep going!
