A Japanese teen claims 100 hours of gameplay on Nintendo won him an impressive physique
Kzm shows off his chiselled physique to the Twitterverse
What if someone told you, you don't have to work out or eat right to gain muscles? What if they also told you all you have to do is play a video game to get fit? We are just as shocked as you are. A self-proclaimed nerd from Japan has been playing a fitness video game, Nintendo's Ring Fit Adventure for the Switch, for over six months.
The teen, who goes by the name Kzm on Twitter, tweeted a picture of himself claiming that Ring Fit Adventure helped him to go from being overweight to toned.

"This is the result of a nerd doing Ring Fit for half a year," he captioned a picture of his chiselled torso. His post got a lot of attention on social media, with more than 24,000 retweets and nearly 400 comments. Many congratulated him, while others showed disbelief, blaming him for misleading others by withholding information such as his diet and exercise routine.
Apparently, Kzm has been playing Ring Fit Adventure every day since November 2019 and he relied on it to keep himself in shape during the lockdown. The Ring Fit player regularly posts screenshots of his achievements in the game, including time played, kilometres ran and calories burnt.

Hong Kong-based news outlet hk01 said that Kzm's game stats in late July showed that he has over 100 hours of recorded gameplay—he has run 175 km, burnt 21,000 calories and done 29,000 pushes with the Ring-con (the wheel-shaped accessory attached to the Nintendo Switch controller).
Kzm is still playing the game to maintain his bangin' bod.

Hiyam Nasr Naji Daaban, a Yemeni woman and mother of a newborn, has a birth story unlike others. Not only did Daaban give birth aboard a flight from London to Cairo, she also won her infant a lifetime of free air travel. She went into labour when the flight was passing through German airspace. After being told that a pregnant passenger was in pain, the flight's captain requested an emergency landing in Munich. EgyptAir tweeted that Daaban gave birth before the plane could land.
While one can guess that giving birth mid-air mustn't have been easy, the experience gave Daaban a unique story and her baby free lifetime travel aboard the airline. EgyptAir announced the celebratory prize on Twitter.
