RAJKOT, India, June 23 (UPI) -- A 4-year-old Indian boy set a national record by completing 1,500 pushups in 40 minutes.

Ruchi Vitha of Rajkot said her son, Ronak Vitha, enjoyed performing pushups from a very young age, Asian News International reported Wednesday.


"When he was two years old, we used to practice yoga at home, stretching exercises and he used to perform yoga on his own, something that was very difficult for us to do. That's when we realized that his body is flexible," Vitha said.

"Then we made him do one or two pushups and the next day he did ten on his own," she said.

Vitha said she and her husband hired trainer Satyajit Chaurasia, who helped actor Aamir Khan prepare for his role in the film "Ghajini," to help prepare their son for the record attempt.

"I want to become a tennis player and also have a body like Aamir Khan's in the film Ghajini," Ronak Vitha said.
