Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore drops to the floor of his office and does push-ups while talking without a cause, in a video he has posted on Twitter. The Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports and – more importantly – the Olympic medalist, posted the video urging everyone to shoot a video of their ‘fitness mantra’ and share it.
The Olympian also challenged cricketer Virat Kohli, actor Hrithik Roshan and badminton player Saina Nehwal to join in.

Bravo @Ra_THORe #HumFitTohIndiaFit #FitnessChallenge this is how I commute to my office everyday. sitting static in a car is such a waste. Walk, cycle, jog, feel the earth, feel India get FIT!” He also challenged his parents Rakesh and Pinki Roshan, along with Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff and Kunal Kapoor.
