Alex Rodriguez and fitness have almost always fit in the same frame. As someone who has been quite vocal about the importance of fitness, especially after his period of not being his “best self” and recently diagnosed gum disease, today, he has taken resilience to a whole new level. A challenge on Turkey Day amid moments of gratitude? Way to go! 

It’s that time of the year when everyone is overtaken by a profound feeling of thankfulness. On this occasion, A-Rod took to social media to share something unique which can be summarized as holidays turned into fitness celebrations. What’s better than a simple yet impactful call to action on Thanksgiving? 

A Challenge That Shows How Far Alex Rodriguez Has Come in Terms of Fitness

The 14x All-Star posted a story on Instagram where he showcased his pull-up skills. He matched the clip with ‘Let’s Go’ by Key Glock, a perfect backdrop to his impressive strength. But the story was more of a challenge than just an exhibit. He added the words, “Thanksgiving challenge. 50 pull ups before dinner tag me and I’ll repost”. This was not only a prompt to his peers for a fitness challenge, but also a way of raising awareness. 

While folks in his follow list might take up the challenge and get featured on the slugger turned businessman’s Instagram story, they’d also be making a great fitness breakthrough. On the occasion of Thanksgiving, A-Rod thus packaged the gift of fitness wrapped as a challenge. Well, this is not the first time the World Series Champion has brought fitness to the forefront.
