The minister called PM Modi an inspiration, praising his ability to manage a hectic schedule "effortlessly".
Dressed in his formal office wear, the ex-armyman does 10 push-ups without stopping and pausing, as part of the #HumFitTohIndiaFit campaign.
The BJP government has always been an advocate of fitness and has promoted Yoga extensively. The NaMo app has many 3D videos of Narendra Modi doing a number of asanas.
