Brazilian President Lula Pumps Up for Historic 4th Term
Octogenarian Lula livestreams workout videos to show he's fighting fit for election battle against younger challenger Flávio Bolsonaro.
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the veteran Brazilian president, is pulling out all the stops in his quest for a historic fourth term in office. The 80-year-old leftist leader is leveraging a series of workout livestreams to convince voters that he has the physical stamina to tackle the country's challenges, in contrast to his younger challenger, Flávio Bolsonaro, who recently fainted during a TV debate.
Lula's campaign strategy is a stark contrast to the typical image of a politician. Instead of relying on polished speeches and campaign rallies, he is offering voters an up-close and personal look at his fitness regimen, which includes everything from lunges and leg presses to more traditional campaign activities.
