Chen Yi from China is fast becoming an internet sensation after showing off his eight-pack abs to the world. He recently received medals from a gymnastics competition, and when his photos did the rounds on social media, people went crazy over it. 

I'm not too sure how I feel about this. This little guy is the same age as my eldest son. Just getting him to stay on his bike during a family bike ride is sometimes a challenge. I had a laugh thinking about it a while back, we all went to a farm in the Midlands and a friend and I set off for a early morning walk. My daughter Lula mentioned that she would like to join us, as we moved passed the hate, she declared that it wasn't fun and she was done. Ha!

In saying that, my kids spend hours on the trampoline over the weekends. Contests to see who can jump the highest is my favourite.

As for this little guy, he spends hours and hours in the gym and he definitely has a bright future for sure. My only thought is he will never have the carefree days of his childhood again.

Either way, this little 7-year-old's fitness is something that we should all aspire to.
