Brasilia: After slipping in the polls, a simple jog -- viewed 10 million times on Instagram -- could give Brazil's President Lula a bit of a boost.

The 78-year-old leader, who had a hip operation last year, went viral this week showing off his bare arms and legs as he ran around the elegant Alvorada Palace, the official presidential residence in Brasilia.

Talking on the move, he steered clear of politics, avoiding subjects such as foreign conflicts and disputes in Congress.

Instead, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva gave advice on how to live to 120 years old.

Wearing the black jersey and shorts of football team Corinthians, he called on Brazilians to "move their legs, arms, and even run a little if they have the physical strength."
