HD Kumaraswamy responds to PM Modi's fitness challenge nomination

Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a video on Twitter today responding to Indian men's cricket captain Virat Kohli's fitness challenge, in which he is seen performing a sequence of Yoga poses and some breathing exercises. Kohli tagged PM Narendra Modi on his own #HumFitToIndiaFit video.

PM Modi captioned his video saying, "Here are moments from my morning exercises. Apart from Yoga, I walk on a track inspired by the Panchtatvas or 5 elements of nature - Prithvi, Jal, Agni, Vayu, Aakash. This is extremely refreshing and rejuvenating. I also practice
breathing exercises. #HumFitTohIndiaFit".
