Pictures of the former President of Sri Lanka Mahinda Percy Rajapaksa in enviable form have been posted on to the Internet by his oldest son, parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa.

In the pictures the former President, who is pushing on 72 can be seen hanging upside down as well as hanging by his arms.

Last year the former President posted pictures of himself engaged in yoga, it is seems that this year the Mahinda Rajapaksa has opted for a different fitness regime, with pro results.
