Staying fit has its own benefits. But wouldn’t it be great if it gets you free stuff too? Taking a cue from that, Indian Railways is now urging people to push themselves just a little, to get a free platform ticket. Here’s how.
How Does It Work?
A machine has been installed at Anand Vihar station in Delhi, that generates a free platform ticket if you are able to do 30 squats in 180 seconds. Isn’t that a great way to promote a healthy way of living?

A stand at one spot and start doing squats. The moment the timer hits 3 minutes, and if you have completed the minimum number, then the ticket is generated from the machine that is located at the other end of it. So, you get to earn your freebie!
What’s More?
This first-of-its-kind initiative peaked a lot of interest on the internet. Railway Minister Piyush Goel posted a video of a young man at the machine doing squats and earning the ticket, on Twitter. And immediately it started to get some great responses from people who lauded the effort.
