Union Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore has recently started this healthy tremd of a fitness challenge called #HumFitTohIndiaFit challenge, where he uploaded a video of himself doing push-ups and urged people across the country to share what was their 'fitness mantra'.

#HumFitTohIndiaFit ð®ð³ð

Post pictures and videos of how you keep yourself fit and send a #FitnessChallenge to your friends on social media. Here's my video ðand I challenge @iHrithik, @imVkohli & @NSaina to join inð¥ pic.twitter.com/pYhRY1lNEm

After the video, he challenged Indian skipper Virat Kohli, Indian badminton champion Saina Nehwal and Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan to take up the challenge and continue this streak of sharing health secrets. Kohli, who is well known for his exceptional fitness, took up the challenge and shared a video of his core workout, which might look like a simple planking routine, but is a lot more tougher than that.

I have accepted the #FitnessChallenge by @ra_THORe sir. Now I would like to challenge my wife @AnushkaSharma , our PM @narendramodi ji and @msdhoni Bhai for the same. ð #HumFitTohIndiaFit #ComeOutAndPlay pic.twitter.com/e9BAToE6bg

He then nominated his wife Anushka Sharma, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former Indian captain MS Dhoni to take up the challenge and continue the streak. After finishing sixth on the points table, the Kohli-led RCB could not make it to the IPL's final streak.  He is all set to leave for Surrey, where he is going to pay county cricket for a while now.  In another news, even Hrithik accepted the challenge and shared his style of travelling to work everyday on a cycle.

This initiative makes me so proud ! 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 ð®ð³ get FIT! pic.twitter.com/twoI1vna9c

Even PM Modi, who is a big supporter of Yoga himself, has accepted the challenge.

Challenge accepted, Virat! I will be sharing my own #FitnessChallenge video soon. @imVkohli #HumFitTohIndiaFit https://t.co/qdc1JabCYb

The fitness challenge seems to be a great initiative to tackle the rising concern of health issues that are already plaguing the country.
