PM Modi's 'Fitness Challenge' video
In the run-up to the Yoga Day in 2018, Prime Minister posted a video of his morning exercise and yoga on June 13, 2018 from his official residence 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, New Delhi. The video on the twitter was posted following his acceptance to Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli’s popular ‘Fitness Challenge’.
The fitness challenge was the brainchild of the then Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, who on May 22 had initiated a social media campaign to encourage Indians to exercise more.
