It won’t be surprising to say that in recent years Indians have become more conscious about fitness and health, and the large credit for this goes to our PM Narendra Modi who is a yoga enthusiast and has inspired millions to practice it. In our fast paced lifestyle, fitness has become a necessity, more than a choice. Noticing this, our Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, has started a fitness movement with an aim to make India fitter.
The sports minister initiated a fitness challenge by doing push-ups right in his office. Isn’t that so cool?
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🥊 pic.twitter.com/pYhRY1lNEm

Next up, Hrithik Roshan, who is crazy about fitness, excitedly took up this challenge, and the actor decided to commute to his office in his bicycle.
In fact, you won’t be surprised to know that is the easiest way to beat traffic in congested cities like Mumbai.
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 🇮🇳 get FIT! pic.twitter.com/twoI1vna9c

While many people felt this is a great way to stay fit, on the other hand, a few of them found that Hrithik’s act is against the traffic rules, and should not be promoted.
He seems motivated!
You are grt sir absolutely my fitness motivational teacher you sir

He has a point though.
This is called violation of traffic rules. @MumbaiPolice what you are going to do now?@iHrithik you should have done it in open ground rather than on busy road.

Is it really risky?
Appreciate your intent. But riding a cycle without a Helmet, shooting a video through mobile is way too callous & a risk uncalled for…

Say no mobile phones on roads!
Please wear a helmet while biking too and do not use mobile phone while cycling on busy streets of mumbai….

Well, one can argue that Hrithik might not have promoted the challenge in the right way, but it was done with right spirit and intent. Right, guys? Also, Our PM Modi will be soon taking up this challenge. All thanks to Kohli!
Challenge accepted, Virat! I will be sharing my own #FitnessChallenge video soon. @imVkohli #HumFitTohIndiaFit https://t.co/qdc1JabCYb
