If you are a social media buff, you will be familiar with the fact that India has taken a significant step towards a better and fitter country with the #HumFitTohIndiaFit campaign. Started by Minister of Youth and Sports Affairs, Rajyavardhan Rathore, the challenge has seen huge names like Virat Kohli, Hrithik Roshan, Anushka Sharma, Sunil Chhetri and even Prime Minister Narendra Modi share their fitness routine videos on Twitter.
Not only the celebrities but laymen from all over the country have actively participated in the campaign and made it a huge success. But, we have one particular video which has rightfully grabbed media attention.
No, it does not have a celebrity in it, but an inspirational dad and his children.
In the video that is breaking the internet, 45-year-old Pramod Carpenter from Agar-Malwa, Madhya Pradesh is seen performing his fitness exercises. Pretty normal right? No, it’s not. What makes the video catchy is that he is joined by his two daughters, Pihu and Preksha, who are three years and six months old respectively.
The video shows Pramod pulling off push-ups and squats while holding his younger daughter as the elder one tries to copy his moves.
The video has been shot entirely at home and also has a part where the three of them can be seen doing yoga. Now that’s appropriate on the International Yoga Day, which is today. isn’t it?
According to NDTV, Mr. Carpenter who has been a national level Volleyball players have been training players in volleyball for the past 20 years. He stated that he has been doing so to groom these players perfectly so that they can earn national glory and make the country proud.
Apart from training the players, the man has made it a point to make his daughters understand the importance of fitness. Speaking about the same, he said,
“Daughters are not a burden. In fact, with the zeal that my daughters show at this young age, I’m certain that they will grow up to shine like stars.”
