Big Bird Feather Yellow: (spoken) Hi there, everybody. It's me, Big Bird Feather Yellow. And do you know what we're going to be doing here on Sesame Street today? We're going to be exercising! So come on, everybody. Let's go! (singing) Everybody, exercise here on Sesame Street. Shake your shoulders and bounce around, you gotta move your hands and feet. While you listen to the music playing, keep moving to the beat. Everybody is doing it, so why don't you come on and exercise on Sesame Street?

(spoken) Okay, now first, we're gonna do some deep breathing exercises. Now this is very important because breathing gets our muscles ready for exercise. So just listen to me. Now you're ready? Okay, get ready now, let's go. Arms up, breathe in. Arms down, breathe out. Reach up, deep breath. Arms down, blow out. Arms up, inhale. Arms down, exhale. Arms up, breathe in. Arms down, breathe out. And stop. Now let's do the same thing only twice as fast. You'll be like flying. You're ready? Arms up, arms down, up, now down, arms up and down and up and down. Finish! Gee, that was terrific! Now we can move on to our head and neck. Now this is my favorite because my neck is so long. Now listen and follow me. This is like looking over your shoulder or a friend standing beside you. Ready? Look side, now front. Other side and front. Turn side, now front. Other side, now front. Look side and front. Look side, now front. Other side, once more, look side and stop. Hey, you did very good! Now, you know your head moves in other ways, too, right? Now this time, try to get your ear to touch your shoulder, okay? Now listen and follow along. Are you ready? Okay. Lean side, straighten up. Lean the other side, now up. Lean side, now straight. Other side and up. Lean side, straighten up. Stretch side and up. Other side, now up. Lean side and up. Okay, very good. Now, we have one more time direction for our head to go. That's up and down. Just like looking down at your feet and then up at the ceiling. Okay? You're ready? Head down, look front. Head back, now front. Look down, now front. Head way back, now front. Head down, now look front. Look back, now front. Look down, now front. Head back and stop. Okay, now just below our head and neck is our shoulders. Now we have to exercise them, too. Now first, one shoulder, then the other, then we'll do both together. You're ready? Lift your shoulder up and drop. Again, up and down. Shoulder up and down, shoulder up and down. Very good. Now let's do the other shoulder. Lift your shoulder up and drop. Again, up and down. Shoulder up and down, again up and down. That's super! Now both together. Both shoulders up and drop, shrug up and drop, shoulders up and drop, up and stop! That was very good! Now you're gonna exercise your wings, I mean, arms. Start with your arms hugging yourself, then open your arms wide, then arms front again and hug. Ready? Now hug yourself. Arms open, now hug, arms back and hug, arms open and hug, arms open and hug, arms open and close, arms back and hug, arms open and hug, arms open and finish. Very good. Now we'll pretend we're swimming just like you're floating on your back. Now we'll do the backstroke, so just circle one arm and then the other. You're ready for that? Okay, here we go. Arm back and down, other arm back and down, arm swing back and down, other arm back and down. Circle back and down, arm back and down, arm back and down, other arm back and stop. Hey, boys and girls, that was really good. Now we're gonna exercise our waist and hips. Now you know where your hips are? Your belt goes around your hips, that way you'll hang your pants or your skirt. Now put your hands on your hips. Listen real close, you're ready? Lean side and up, other side and up, lean side and up, lean side, straighten up, other side and up, again side and up, lean side and up, side and finish. Very good. (panting) You're not getting tired, are you or anything? (panting) Okay, we're gonna twist now. Just put your hands up behind your head there. You're ready to do a real twist. You're all ready there? Twist side and side, again side and twist, twist and twist, twist side and side, keep going side and side, twist and twist, and side and side, twist and side. Oh, very good. (panting) Now, let's do our legs. I want you to lift your knee all the way up to your chest as high as it'll go and hold your arms out to the sides. Okay, you're ready? Knee up, put it down, other knee up, now down, knee up and down, other knee up and down, knee up and down, keep going up and down, lift up, now down, knee up and stop. Oh, this is fun, but we're going to do it faster double time. You're ready. (panting) One knee then the other. Knee up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up and stop. Now, we have one more part of our body to exercise. Our feet and our ankles. When you rise up on your toes, take your arms out to your sides to help you balance, so follow me. Are you ready? Here we go now. Up on your toes, now down, now up, now down, rise up, now down, up, now down, now up, now down, rise up, now down, up, now down, up and down. (panting) Oh, boy, are you ready? 'Cause we're gonna go faster, really fast now up and down. Here we go. Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down. You know, if we did it even faster, we'll be jumping. Now this groovy music is gonna play and we're gonna jump until the end of the song or until you get tired. Let's go! So come on, start jumping up and down!

(singing) Everybody exercise, keep on moving along. Don't you know you'll be having fun and it'll keep you healthy and strong? Can't go wrong as long as you keep moving, no time to take your seat. Everybody is doing it, so why don't you come on and exercise on Sesame Street? (laughing) Everybody is doing it, so why don't you come on and exercise on Sesame Street?
