A determined man has transformed his body after undertaking a grueling workout challenge inspired by a Japanese anime series.

Li Shuangyong, 36, from China, tested the benefits of the workout for an impressive 1,000 days which involves a daily routine of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and a 10k run.

It is inspired by the hero of Japanese manga series One Punch Man, Saitama, who becomes too strong and powerful for his own good.

In the case of Mr Shuangyong, he grew huge muscles and turned his life around after his fish farming business collapsed.

He was left in debt and his marriage had ended when he came across the series and became inspired by the challenge.
