Zhao Chuchu still did not teach the women how to use the equipment and primarily focused on aerobics. Once their stamina had improved, she would start training them using the equipment.
Everyone’s physical condition was different and required different equipment.
Mrs. Ge had become Zhao Chuchu’s number-one fan. Whatever Zhao Chuchu said, she would treat it as gospel and follow.
This was especially so for her diet. She strictly kept to the diet plan that Zhao Chuchu had set for her, not eating even the slightest bit more. No matter how much she wanted to eat, she managed to keep her gluttony in check.
Zhao Chuchu was very impressed with her.
Prior to this, Mrs. Ge was famous for being a foodie.
Now she had stopped visiting restaurants. She even lost interest in checking out the jewelry shops and makeup stores. Her favorite activity now was coming to the Ruyu Center.
She even arrived at the center before three o’clock.
The moment she entered, she asked Zhao Chuchu, “Mrs. Xie, I want to ask you something. Can old ladies who are in their 50s come to the Ruyu Center?” Confused, Zhao Chuchu repeated, “Old ladies who are in their 50s?”
“Hmm. I’m talking about my mom. She is also a foodie like me, and she is also very fat now. The physicians have asked her to control her diet. They told her that if she continues to gain weight, her body will suffer. I am thinking of bringing her to the center and asking her to join our training sessions.”
“Of course, she can come. However, she can’t dance like all of you. After all, she is an elder. Never mind. Just bring her over. I will check her condition, and we can decide on what to do next.”
If Old Mrs. Zheng was too fat, she would have to control her food intake and lose some weight through dieting first.
Unlike young people, the elderly could not dance and hop around. It was especially so for old ladies from wealthy families.
“Alright.” Mrs. Ge immediately called out, “Mom, come on in. Mrs. Xie says you can come too.”
Zhao Chuchu was speechless.
If she had already brought her mother over, why did she have to ask?
Mrs. Ge’s maiden surname was Zheng. She and her mother, Old Mrs. Zheng, looked very similar. Both of them had kind-looking eyes and blessed looks.
“Welcome, Old Mrs. Zheng,” Zhao Chuchu greeted.
“Aye, Mrs. Xie, you do not need to be so polite. I am old but do not like to miss out on things. I also want to join in on what the youngsters are up to. I hope Mrs. Xie won’t mind,” Old Mrs. Zheng said as she chuckled.
Zhao Chuchu replied, “Old Mrs. Zheng, you are being too kind. For you to have come to the Ruyu Center means that you trust me. How could I possibly turn you away?
In truth, Old Mrs. Zheng was even fatter than Mrs. Ge.
Slim elderly women were a rare sight. Seniors like Old Mrs. Zheng most likely had high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels.
Zhao Chuchu checked her pulse. As expected, Old Mrs. Zheng had hypertension and obesity.
Because of this, Zhao Chuchu could not engage Old Mrs. Zheng in high-intensity training. She planned to alter the latter’s diet first. When her weight was under control, only then would Zhao Chuchu teach her some exercises suitable for older people.
At that point, Old Mrs. Zheng could strengthen her body while losing weight. She could kill two birds with one stone.
Zhao Chuchu told Old Mrs. Zheng about her plan.
Old Mrs. Zheng exclaimed, “Can eating help me to lose weight?”
“It depends on what you eat and how you eat. However, you have to listen to me,” Zhao Chuchu explained while nodding her head. “Speaking of which, it will be a hardship for you, Old Mrs. Zheng.”
“I can handle any hardship.”
“Then what about temptation?
“Temptation… I can handle a little bit, maybe?”
Old Mrs. Zheng cutely gestured.
Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but laugh aloud. She then coldly said, “No.” Old Mrs. Zheng’s smile disappeared. “Why not? Not even a little?”
“Hmm, you might not like what I will make you eat.”
Old Mrs. Zheng was definitely a meat eater who could not enjoy a meal without meat.
If she had to eat light meals and plain food, she would rather die now.
Hence, Zhao Chuchu said that it would be a hardship for her.
“Old Mrs. Zheng, it would be best if you could ensure that you are not too fat when you are older. It is not good for your body and can make you susceptible to various diseases. You do not need to slim down until you are as thin as a bamboo pole. You just need to reach a suitable body weight.”
“I will try.”
Old Mrs. Zheng was actually moved.
She was truly too fat. Even walking had become cumbersome for her.
She even needed to rest every few steps when walking in her garden. For Old
Mrs. Zheng, that was not a good experience.
However, she couldn’t resist the temptation of gourmet food.
She felt sinful after every meal. However, she would continue doing so the next time as well. She was the same as most women who wanted to lose weight but could not do so.
“There is no point trying if you are not serious about it,” Zhao Chuchu said as she shook her head. “Old Mrs. Zheng, if you really want to lose weight, you must follow my instructions to the letter. Otherwise, you will continue to be like this or get even fatter.”
Old Mrs. Zheng was in a dilemma.
She looked at Mrs. Ge.
Mrs. Ge said, “Mom, you better listen to Mrs. Xie. Don’t you want to play with your great-grandchildren? If you want to, you must keep your body fit. Otherwise, your dream will be crushed if you can’t even carry them.”
Old Mrs. Zheng fell silent.
Zhao Chuchu did not rush her to make a decision now.
She suggested, “Old Mrs. Zheng, why don’t you stay here this afternoon and have a look at what Mrs. Ge and the rest of the ladies do?”
Her suggestion was exactly what Old Mrs. Zheng had in mind, so she agreed to it without hesitation..
