Madhya Pradesh Dad's Fitness Routine With Daughters Is Viral

While everyone from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Indian captain Virat Kohli has taken up the fitness challenge recently, it is a dad from Madhya Pradesh whose novel approach to the challenge is impressing people. In a video that has been widely shared on WhatsApp and other social media platforms, 45-year-old Pramod Carpenter from Agar-Malwa in Madhya Pradesh is seen practicing his fitness routine with his two daughters - three-year-old Pihu, and six-month-old Preksha.

The adorable video shows Mr Carpenter doing push-ups and squats while holding his toddler, even as his elder daughter copies his moves.

The two-and-a-half-minute-long video, shot entirely at home, even has a clip of the three doing yoga, quite appropriate as it is in time for International Yoga Day being celebrated today.

Mr Carpenter, who has played volleyball at the national level, says that the reason he has been training volleyball players for the past 20 years is because he wants them to stay fit and lead India to the path of glory in sports.

He adds that even at home, he has always emphasised upon the importance of staying fit for his daughters. "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," Mr Carpenter says, pride evident in his voice.
