According to the women taking part, the belief is that the challenge is a very reachable and healthy goal to aim towards - and fit is the new sexy.

Images of the women taking part in the challenge are being shared on Sina Weibo, a Chinese social media also known as 'Chinese Twitter'. Social media users say the trend is wrong, worrying and projects an unrealistic body image.
