Down the footpath, along past the trees I'm out in front, moving with ease. Red Pants Boy really, really wants to win a running race. But try as he might, his bum is slowing him down. What can he do? Find something to move his bum along, of course! Maybe a kite, or a rocket blast, or a big engine? Nah, he figures he needs some bum-strengthening exercises -- some squats, kicks, steps and lunges. And while he's working out, a whole lot of other folk join him. After some training he's off.
