Synopsis

Inspired by Mom and Dad's fitness regime, Olie and Billy decide that they want to be muscle-bots, too. Jumping jacks, push-ups, weightlifting and the vibro-tron are all part of their workout. Even Zowie joins in with enthusiasm. All of this muscle-building activity makes for some very hungry bots. But is anyone strong enough to open the Polie Pickles?
