- ...and seven... and eight...
and nine...
...and !
And... relax.
- Ah. That was fun. Thanks, Zowie.
- Yes, thanks, Zowie.
- I'm as fit as anything!
(sighing)
- I'm the best star jumper, aren't I, Zowie? Ah!
- Um...
(chuckling)
- Mommy, you know what?
Zowie says I'm the best star
-jumper in the class!
- Oh, that's nice, poppet.
So sorry I'm late for my personal training session, Zowie.
Had rather a difficult client to deal with.
(chuckling)
- Hmm. Well, not to worry. I've only just finished the youngsters' class.
- Oh, jolly good. So shall we begin?
Hold this for me, Zou. There's a dear.
(Zou exclaiming) Shall we start with our warmup?
- Always the best way to start a session. How about some knee bends?
- Oh.
(Zelda panting)
- Good.
Feet just a little further apart.
Don't dip too far.
(Zelda panting) That's it.
(laughter)
(Zelda panting)
- Ah.
(panting and sighing)
- Such a busy man, Mr. Zoey. So I said I'd pick Zak up for him.
- That's very good of you, Mrs. Zolli.
- Not at all. He's a sweet little chap.
- That's it! Keep those knees up!
(Zelda panting) Now seconds at full speed!
- Hi!
- Oh. Hello, Zelda!
(panting)
Ready to go home, Bizou?
- Yes, Mom.
- And I'm taking you too, Elzee.
- And you come with me, Zak.
- Okay.
- Mommy, can we go home too?
- Not just yet, poppet!
(panting)
I have to finish my session!
Bye!
- Bye!
(Zelda panting)
(out of breath)
- Mommy, are you alright?
(groaning)
- Fine. Just a little...
tired.
(groaning)
(tweeting)
- I love going to the gym.
- Yeah.
Zowie's a brilliant coach.
(tweeting)
(tweeting)
- Well, here we are, Elzee.
- Thanks for picking me up.
Oh, hey, Zigmund and Zoroaster are working on a brilliant new sculpture in Mom's studio.
Would you like to come in and see it?
- Oh! Can we, Mom?
- Well, if you don't think we'd be in the way.
(laughing)
(exclamations)
- Talk about suffering for your art, Zoroaster.
- Oh! I think I may have to go for a little lie
-down in a moment or two.
(groaning)
- Be brave. Soldier on. We're almost there.
(exclaiming)
- Hi, Mom.
- Hello, love. Thanks for collecting Elzee for me.
- Well, you're very welcome.
(groaning)
(panting)
- Ooh!
(laughing)
- That looks like hard work.
- Oh, it is. Believe me.
- Ah, we'll be fine once we've had a nice cup of tea and a little sitdown.
(laughing)
- What you two need is to get in shape.
Look at you. You're about as fit as a couple of well
-dunked biscuits.
- Oh, the cheek of it!
- She may just have a point, Zigmund.
(chuckling)
- Well, perhaps we are just a... touch out of condition.
- Uh, and what you need is a personal trainer!
Just like Aunt Zelda. She's got Zowie.
- Really? What's a personal trainer when it's at home?
- Someone who helps you get fit. I could help you.
I've been to lots of gym classes.
I know loads of good exercises and stuff!
- What do you say? We could do with a bit of exercise.
- Well...
- You know, Bizou, I think that's an excellent idea.
I'd like to join your class, too, please. I don't think I'm as fit as I could be.
- Oh, come on, Zigmund.
How hard can it be? He's only little.
- Ah.
(chuckling)
- See you tomorrow! Don't be late!
(tweeting)
Ah, here you are, Poc. Come on, let's go back home.
(tweeting)
That's it, Mom!
And one and two, and one and two.
- Are you sure this is a good idea?
- We said we would, so...
- And one and two...
(exclamations)
Hey, Zigmund! Zoroaster! Just in time!
- Oh, no.
- Now, to get warmed up, we're gonna go for a little run.
- A run?! I haven't run anywhere for ages!
- Yes, you have. You ran for that bus a couple of weeks ago.
- Yes, and, oh, how I regretted it afterwards.
- We're only gonna go for a nice, gentle jog.
So, on your marks, get set, go!
- Oh... off we go.
- Oh! Ho
-ho!
(groaning and panting)
- That's it! A nice, gentle pace.
(groaning)
- He calls this gentle?
- On your toes. Keep the knees up.
(panting and groaning)
(exclaiming)
(bell jingling)
- Good morning. And how can I...? Oh.
(panting and gasping)
Great Scott!
(Zigmund exclaiming)
- Save me!
- Oh.
What from?
(Zigmund stammering)
(groaning)
(Zou): Not too much further, and then we'll do a left turn,
then make our way back to do some serious fitness work!
(panting)
- What?! Oh! Oh!
(groaning)
(chiming)
- Mm.
(groaning and panting)
What on Earth?! Steady on!
Have a care!
(grunting)
- Ah! Help!
(groaning)
- You're sweating on me.
(groaning) Eh! Oh! Oh!
- Zavier, what have you done?
- Uh, nothing, my dear.
Zoroaster just needs to rest a bit.
- Oh, hello, Zoroaster.
We're not actually terribly keen on people sitting on the shop floor.
- Sorry. Can't... get up.
- Oh!
- Hmm.
- Ah!
- Not far to go now!
That's it. Keep up.
(panting)
(tweeting)
(tweeting)
(panting)
(tweeting)
Yes, well done, Poc.
(panting)
- Ooh.
- And relax.
So next... Huh?
We're... Uh...
- Oh!
- Hmm.
- Uh, Mom?
Where did they go?
Oh, maybe I went too fast for them.
- Hmm.
- Mom?
Do you think I overdid the training?
It was just a jog, but, um, what if something's happened to them?
- Don't worry, Zou. I'm sure they'll be fine.
Why don't we just retrace our steps and go and look for them?
- Okay.
(chuckling)
(door chiming)
- Do come back and visit soon.
- But try to look a little smarter next time?
This is rather an exclusive establishment.
- Oh.
- Huh.
- Oh, Zoroaster!
(chuckling)
Oh, um, I just popped in to Mr. Zoey's for, uh, for
-
-
- A rest?
- A rest?! I... Yes.
- Me, too. At Zavier and Zelda's.
- There you are!
(both): Ah!
(Zou laughing)
- Oh, please! No more training!
- I'm sorry. I got a bit carried away.
I shouldn't have started with that run.
I didn't know how unfit you were.
- Unfit? Moi?
- We're as fit as particularly fit fiddles. Isn't that right, Zoroaster?
- Certainly is.
- In that case, you'll be coming to Zou's next class, won't you?
(both): Hmm...
- Don't worry.
I'll take things a lot more easily next time.
- Yes. You have to learn to walk before you can run.
Isn't that right, Bizou?
- Yup. And know what, Mom? If I'm going to take it easy,
I'm gonna see if anyone else wants to join my class.
- Good idea, Zou.
(both grumbling)
(awkward laughter)
(groaning and panting)
- And up! And reach for the sky.
And touch your toes again. Don't worry if you can't reach all the way down.
Just do your best.
And up again!
- I think you've really got the hang of personal training now, Zou.
(laughter)
- Oh, yes!
And so do I!
(exclaiming) Such fun!
- Oh, thank you, Nanna.
And now some arm stretches!
Throw your arms wide,
and breathe in and out!
In and out!
- This is more like it.
(chuckling)
- Yes. Nothing like having your own personal trainer.
(chuckling)
