Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore poses a fitness challenge in front of the Indian skipper Virat Kohli

India’s Union Sports Minister and newly appointed Union Information and Broadcasting Minister, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore have started a new campaign “Hum Fit Toh India Fit” to promote fitness in the country. Through that campaign that he has started yesterday, Rathore is looking to change the way the Indian youths think about fitness.

The first of the many challenges that the former Athlete has given to is to the Indian skipper Virat Kohli, alongside actor Hrithik Roshan and Badminton star Saina Nehwal.

What the challengers have to do is simple, they have to post a video of their workout, or a photo of how they go around to stay fit and share it with everyone on the social media how they work on them to stay fit.

Rathore’s motivation:

Rathore also made it absolutely clear that it was all due because of the inspiration from India‘s Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Modi earlier in the year started posting videos of his animated self-doing Yoga, promoting exercise throughout the country.

Further, the former athlete also went on to Twitter to post the challenge in order to get more people’s attention and promote fitness amongst the Indian youths. In the video, the Indian minister is seen doing a bunch of push-ups, while recording the video.

He further urged people to help each other in maintaining fitness, with him inviting Kohli, Saina and Hrithik to do the same. While we all know that Kohli is a fitness freak, with the Indian skipper posting regular videos to promote fitness himself.

What should Kohli do for the challenge?

Kohli returns back to normalcy after a dismal season with the Royal Challengers Bangalore, where they ended up 6th on the points table, despite winning their last four out of five games.

Mr. Rathore’s post reads, “#HumFitTohIndiaFit ???????????? Post pictures and videos of how you keep yourself fit and send a #FitnessChallenge to your friends on social media. Here’s my video ????and I challenge @iHrithik, @imVkohli & @NSaina to join in????”
