Although she has left the competition world behind, she uses her physique and beautiful looks to establish herself as a model with a strong following. 

In fact it was her modeling photos that first got the attention of many people. Yuan Herong has garnered quite the social media following of people looking to see her photos. Moreover, she sent the internet in a frenzy when she uploaded some risque photos, showing her amazing body.

I just take it as a hobby to exercise naturally without medication.”

Although it is worth noting that her coach wants Herong to eventually compete. He is blown away with her dedication and hard work. It is hard not to be, considering she trains four to five days a week, in spite of being a doctor. Check out one of her intense training sessions.

Yuan Herong is a very special case, in the sense that she has a strong frame, but only trains casually. Perhaps one day she will put down the lab coat and get back on the bodybuilding stage for one last time.
