The 25-second video shared by the minister shows a man doing squats in front of the machine. The machine sensor detects the number of squats and issues a ticket.
This 'unique experiment' is in line with the Fit India Movement that PM Modi flagged off at the Indira Gandhi Stadium Complex in New Delhi last year. The objective of the Fit India Movement was to encourage people to adopt a sports-based lifestyle and to inculcate physical work in their regular lives.
This campaign was supported by famous people from different walks of life, be it from the entertainment industry or from the sports fraternity. The Sports Authority of India tweeted a video of Shilpa Shetty motivating the people to join the Fit India Movement.
#Fitness is her priority & now @TheShilpaShetty adds swacchtawith swaasthyaas she motivates people to join the #FitIndiaPlogRun on Oct2 across the country.
