This video of Imran Khan's fitness routine will scare Nawaz Sharif, says PTI

Will PM Nawaz Sharif be inspired to hit the gym for a fight to the... fittest?
Updated 17 Oct, 2016

If you can't be the Prime Minister, might as well beat him... in the gym, of course.

Looks like political rivalry has taken a new form — a fight to the fittest!

First it was the Sindh Sports Minister who challenged his Punjab counterpart to 50 push-ups (though we all know how that flopped. Oops), now it has made its way to the big fish: PTI Chairman Imran Khan vs. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

In a video upload on PTI Official Videos Facebook page, IK shows us how to #WorkWorkWork those abs, because he's gearing up to take over the Iron throne.

"Kaptaan's lifetime of training for this very decisive moment, it's been a long time coming! Be very afraid Nawaz Sharif," reads the caption.

What we're thinking: Where'd IK get those pink kicks from? They're quite cool, but those white socks are ancient, they have got to goooo.

Going by this workout vid, here's how the 64-year-old stays in shape:

1) Toe touch crunches

2) Bicycle crunches

3) Side-to-side obliques

4) Knee Ins

5) Basic crunches with knees up

Imran Khan may be dead set on becoming the next PM — cuz let's face it, he's been waiting for it like Leonardo DiCaprio was for his Academy Award — but we're not sure whether gym time = PM time.

Others have some things to say too.

Some people feel he's preparing for a position other than head of state:

Others are truly inspired:

Some call the video 'absurd':

Some people are anticipating fallout:

And some people know exactly what's going on in PM Nawaz Sharif's head:

Now we'd watch that.

If only he would spend this much time and effort in bringing real developement and prosperity in KPK province. I live in Swat. Other than building a few roads and renovating a few police stations in Peshawar, Imran Khan has done nothing to develop other smaller towns and cities in KPK. It's been 4 years and we are tired of dharnas. I will not vote for him again.

@Asra In a very polite manner, i would like to ask "What have we done on individual level for SWAT?" Only one man can not bring change unless everyone of us join hands to bring in change. Its not about any party or leader, its about the people who follow them. We should think why private organizations are more successful in Pakistan compared to private organizations? Same individual of government organization becomes successful in private culture, why? Because, in these organizations not only the leaders but the individuals on all levels work and strive to bring in positive change/success.

@Asra very much agreed, this is what democracy is, but who are you going to vote for or in other words who else you think is better?

@S.M.Adeel Vote for PMLn. I voted PTI in 2013. Sure now I wasted it. Will vote for PMLN. The only party trying to lift Pakistan up. so much positivity and development that last 15 years of Musharraf and Zardari couldn't do.

PTI supporters should come out of this childish mentality , he is a politician not Bollywood movie hero, he should be judged only based on the work he has done.

As fan of Imran Khan, the cricketer ( I don't know his brand of politics), I salute his commitment to stay fit and healthy, come what may. We all must imbibe this good trait for our own good health!
