> An overweight father in China, who took up running to motivate his son to lose weight, ended up shedding more pounds than his junior, reported China Press.
The man from Shijiazhuang, Hebei, weighed 147kg before he started exercising in 2020 and managed to lose 36kg in two years.
“My second son is overweight and I wanted to be a good role model in hopes that he could successfully lose weight,” he said.
The father then embarked on an arduous two-year journey to a healthier lifestyle, beginning with 10km walks every day for the first six months.
Half a year later, he started waking up at 4am every day to jog for 10km and has since ran more than 7,200km in two years.
“Exercise has now become a part of my life,” he said.
Having since lost 36kg, the 185-cm man cut a striking figure, with many Internet users praising his good looks.
