We already knew that Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau was a fit guy.

After all, the 44-year-old is a former bungee-jump instructor, and in 2012 took part in a charity boxing match against another Canuck politician. https://twitter.com/olivermcgee/status/706639068583567360 But last week, Toronto-based yoga teacher David Gellineau shared an image from 2013 of Trudeau, who was then running to be leader of his party, doing the 'mayurasana' yoga pose on a desk. tr1 Also known as the 'peacock pose', it requires pretty damn strong core strength and biceps to pull off. Sure enough, Trudeau showed how proud he was of his feat at the time by RT-ing a Twitter fan's support. https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/321089308381564928
