We all know that children have an entirely different body chemistry than we do as adults. They bounce back quicker. They seem to be impervious to the cold. They can survive on a diet of french fries and ketchup. And they’re sometimes deceptively strong.
One 7-year-old girl and pageant queen is so strong, in fact, that she’s putting a lot of adults to shame when it comes to her muscle tone.

'Kynlee is so little but so strong,' her mother said.
“She loves them and is proud of how toned she is,” Kynlee's mother, Angel Heiman, told Caters News Agency of her child's abdominal muscles, per the NY Post. “She does lots of ab exercises to keep them prominent.”
Angel herself is sometimes surprised by her daughter’s strength, even though Kynlee has had a six pack since she was 3 years old, naturally.
“Kynlee is so little but so strong. I slept next to her in a hotel recently, and it was like sleeping next to a little brick,” she said.
Angel said her daughter has had a natural knack for performance since she was a toddler.
Kynlee, who is also a gymnast, actor, and model, is a girl of many talents and a natural-born performer. She’s been in the world of child beauty pageants since she was 2 years old. When she was 3 years old, Angel would bring Kynlee to the gym with her during her cheerleading workouts. She was impressed by how quickly her daughter was able to master those complex routines.
Kynlee wants to be an Olympic-level gymnast.
For all of her talents, Angel says Kynlee is most passionate about her potential gymnastics career. Kynlee took up the sport during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, using the home equipment at her disposal. By the time she was 5, she was able to go to a gym to hone her skills.
Angel said Kynlee “can’t wait to start competing in gymnastics competitions now that she is old enough.” She says her daughter is “very focused on becoming an Olympic gymnast one day.”
For all of her talents, Kynlee does have some critics as well.
While many are in awe of Kynlee, Angel says not every comment they receive is positive. In the comments section on one video, someone blamed her parents for building her entire personality around a six-pack and succeeding, claiming they felt sorry for her.
But Angel takes the criticism in her stride. “She does sometimes receive negative comments about her six pack on social media, but I delete them or just ignore them,” declared Angel. “I don’t want to look back and think I had to hide my child because other people couldn’t handle her. She’s an inspiration.”
