Allen the shark loves watching TV, playing games, and eating snacks.
Exercise? Not really his thing.
But everything changes when Allen meets Mia, a cheerful pink dolphin who loves going to the gym. Hoping to impress her, Allen decides to start exercising too.
At first, it is not easy. Allen struggles with stretching, running, lifting weights, and keeping up with the much stronger Bob the orca. He often feels tired, embarrassed, and unsure of himself.
But with help from his new friends, Allen begins to discover something important: exercise is not about being better than someone else-and it is not about changing yourself just to make someone like you.
It is about feeling stronger, healthier, happier, and becoming a little better every day.
