(music plays)

Against a yellow starry backdrop, the name of the show reads "Power up."

Laura sits at home.

Laura is in her twenties, with long straight brown hair in a ponytail and wears jeans, a blue tie-die T-shirt and a blue headband.

Lucas is in his twenties, with short brown hair and wears a gray cap backwards and a striped gray hoodie.

Laura says HEY, TVOKIDS.
WELCOME TO
POWER UP,
SUPERHERO EDITION.
BUT WITH EVERY
GREAT SUPERHERO,
WE ALSO NEED
SUPERVILLAINS.
SO I DECIDED TO INVITE
THE SECOND-BEST
SUPERVILLAIN.
GIVE IT UP FOR LUCIUS?

Lucius, Lucas' evil second cousin, snickers and THAT'S RIGHT.
IT'S ME, LUCIUS.
AND I'M HERE TO PLAY THE
POWER
UP
GAME, EXCEPT THAT I'M
ACTUALLY THE BEST VILLAIN
IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
SO TAKE THAT,
LAURA. HMM.

Laura says OKAY, LUCIUS.

Lucius says OKAY, LAURA.

Laura says THAT'S MY NAME.

Lucius says DON'T WEAR IT OUT.
OH, YOU DON'T WANT ME TO
WEAR OUT YOUR NAME?
WELL, I THINK
I WILL. HA!
I'LL WEAR IT LIKE A
NICE HAT ON A SUNDAY.
THAT'S RIGHT. I'LL
WEAR YOUR NAME.

Lucius says UM... (CLEARING THROAT)
ANYWAYS, WE'RE GOING
TO DO
POWER UP.
SO JUST LOOK
AROUND YOU AND...

Lucius says THAT'S RIGHT.
LOOK AROUND YOU
AND MAKE SURE THERE'S A LOT
OF SPIKES ON THE GROUND.
AND MAKE SURE THERE'S OIL
SO YOU CAN GREASE UP THE FLOOR.
AND MAKE SURE YOU
DON'T HAVE ANY WATER,
BECAUSE THERE'S
NO WATER ALLOWED.
THAT'S RIGHT. DRY!
DRY! DRY!

Laura says NO, NO, NO.
ACTUALLY, TVOKIDS,
DO THE OPPOSITE OF THAT.
MAKE SURE THERE'S
LOTS OF SPACE,
NO SPIKES, AND HAVE
LOTS OF WATER TO DRINK.

Lucius says FINE.

Laura says BUT LET'S GIVE IT UP
FOR OUR HEALTH AND PHYS
ED TEACHER, DENIECE.
HEY, DENIECE.

Deniece says HI, LAURA. HI, LUCIUS.

Lucius says HELLO.

Deniece says NICE TO SEE YOU.
ARE YOU READY FOR
A SUPER-EVIL
POWER UP?

Lucius says EVIL IS
MY FIRST NAME.
NO, IT'S NOT.

Deniece says AWESOME.

Lucius says IT'S LUCIUS.

Laura says caption reads "Deniece. H and PE teacher."

Deniece is in her thirties, with curly brown hair in a bun and wears blue leggings and a blue T-shirt.

Deniece chuckles and says WELL, TVOKIDS,
I'M SUPER DENIECE,
AND I'M AN H
AND PE TEACHER.
WHEN I'M
NOT DOING THAT,
I AM AN AMBASSADOR
WITH OPHEA.
AND WE WORK TO GET
STUDENTS IN ONTARIO MOVING.
SO THAT'S OVER
TWO MILLION KIDS.
TODAY, WE'RE GOING
TO GO THROUGH FIVE MOVES
TO HELP YOU BE THE BEST
SUPERHERO THAT YOU CAN BE.
AND IF ANY OF THEM SEEM A
LITTLE BIT TOO CHALLENGING,
LOOK TO LUCIUS
FOR SOME MODIFICATIONS.

Laura stands up and Lucius remains seated.

Deniece says OKAY? LET'S GET ROLLING.
OUR FIRST MOVE IS
GOING TO BE
OUR SUPERHERO STANCE.

She spreads her legs apart and rests his hands on her hips.

She says WE'RE GOING TO TILT OUR
EAR TO OUR SHOULDER,
TILT OUR EAR TO
OUR SHOULDER,
JUST TO WARM OUR
SUPERHERO MUSCLES UP.
LAURA, LUCIUS,
FEELING GOOD?

Laura says FEELING GREAT.

Lucius says AWESOME.

Deniece says TVO KIDS,
WE ARE NOW GOING
TO LOOK LEFT.
COME BACK. LOOK RIGHT.
AND LOOK LEFT.
AND RIGHT. AMAZING.
PERFECT.
GOING TO DO FOUR
MORE OF THOSE.
WHEW! GET READY
TO WARM UP YOUR
SHOULDERS TO FLY.
OKAY. WE'RE
GOING TO SWITCH
TO OUR SHOULDER STRETCH.

She kneels down, put her arms up and starts moving thm in circles.

She says CIRCLES FORWARDS.
YOU GOT IT.
AND CIRCLES BACKWARDS.
FANTASTIC. FROM HERE,
WE ARE...
YOU LOOK
GREAT, LUCIUS.

Lucius says THANK YOU. I KNOW
THAT ALREADY.

Deniece laughs and says HEY.
OKAY. FROM HERE,
YOU'RE GOING
TO SQUAT AND FLY.
READY. LOOKS LIKE A SQUAT
AND FLY!
SQUAT AND FLY!
SO...

Lucius says HA! EASY FOR ME.

Deniece says FANTASTIC.
FLY.
TAKE A LOOK AT
WHO WE CAN HELP SAVE.
OH, I MEAN, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO, LUCIUS?

Lucius says I'M GOING TO TAKE OVER
THE WORLD, STEP BY STEP...

Deniece says OKAY.

Lucius says FLY BY FLY.

Deniece says PERFECT.
LAURA, YOU GOT TO FLY AND
HELP THE REST OF THE WORLD.

Lucius says RIGHT. DON'T
RUN INTO ME, LUCIUS.

Deniece says DO A FLY AROUND
IF YOU WANT
FOR OUR LAST
COUPLE OF SQUATS.
NEXT, WE'RE GOING
TO A LATERAL JUMP
AND STEALTH MODE.
WE NEED TO BE QUIET.

She jumps forwards, lands on one foot, twists her torso around and then does a quick in-place run.

She says SO LAND WITH
YOUR MARSHMALLOW TOES.
LOOK AROUND.
TIP, TIP, TIP,
TIP, TIP.
LAND WITH YOUR
MARSHMALLOW TOES.
LOOK AROUND.
RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN,
RUN. OKAY?
SO, YOU'RE GOING TO
LOOK AT LUCIUS
FOR THE MODIFICATION.
HE'S MOVING HIS
BODY WITH A TWIST
AND WORKING HIS ARMS.
GOOD. RUN,
RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN.
TAKE A LOOK.
RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN.
LOOK AT LAURA.
FANTASTIC.
WHAT DID YOU FIND?

Laura says VILLAINS.

Lucius says I FOUND A CAVE
OF PRECIOUS JEWELS.

Deniece says PERFECT.
THEN WE ARE GOING
TO HAVE TO GO
THROUGH THE CAVE TO GET
TO THOSE PRECIOUS JEWELS.

With her legs spread apart, she squats to the right, fake pick up something and leaves it back down to the left.

She says YOU ARE GOING TO
REACH TO ONE SIDE,
PICK UP THE BOULDER,
PUT IT DOWN.
REACH TO ONE SIDE,
PICK UP THE BOULDER,
AND PUT IT DOWN.
OKAY.
REMEMBER TO BEND
WITH YOUR LEGS
INSTEAD OF REACHING AT
YOUR BACK, OKAY?
LUCIUS, YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOUR CORE IS ENGAGED.

Lucius grunts and says THAT'S RIGHT.

Deniece says PICK IT UP STRAIGHT.
PUT IT DOWN.
(GRUNTING)

Deniece says PERFECT.
WHEW! KEEP GOING.
KEEP GOING.
YOU'VE GOT A FEW MORE BOULDERS
TO PICK UP AND PLACE DOWN.
(LUCIUS GRUNTING)

Deniece says TVO KIDS,
OUR LAST EXERCISE...
WHILE YOU
KEEP WORKING... IS
TO BE THE
SUPERHERO YOU KNOW
AND SAVE THE WORLD.
OR IF YOU'RE LUCIUS,
TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
SUPERHERO!
YOU'RE GOING TO CREATE
YOUR BEST POSE EVER!

She makes different superhero poses: flying, bicep curls, victory arm, and one-leg stands with superhero arms.

(EXHALING FORCEFULLY)

Deniece says MAKE WHATEVER POSE YOU
FEEL GREAT IN.
WE'RE GOING TO GO
ONE, TWO, THREE, POSE.
CAN YOU BALANCE
ON ONE LEG?
ONE, TWO, THREE, POSE.
ONE, TWO, THREE. WHOO!
ONE, TWO, THREE, POSE!
AND SUPERHEROES,
WE GOT A FEW
MORE POSES TO GO.
ONE, TWO, THREE, POSE.
HA!
ONE, TWO, THREE.
LIFTING EVERYTHING.
ONE, TWO, THREE. LIFT!
AND ONE, TWO, THREE.
IT'S TIRING
TO SAVE THE WORLD,
SO I'M GOING
TO TAKE A LAYDOWN.
WHEW.
THAT'S YOUR LAST POSE.
TVOKIDS,
YOU ARE PHENOMENAL
SUPERHEROES.
IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE.
I HAVE TO DRINK SOME
WATER TO HYDRATE,
AND THEN I'M GOING
TO GO COOL DOWN.
SO I'M LEAVING YOU
WITH LUCIUS AND LAURA.
SUPERHERO D GOT TO GO.
UP, UP, AND AWAY!

Lucius says THAT'S RIGHT.

Laura says THANKS, DENIECE.

Lucius says I THINK WE WOULD ALL AGREE THAT
LUCIUS IS VERY STRONG,
SO I'M GOING TO GO
TAKE OVER THE WORLD.
I GUESS I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

Lucius says OH. OKAY.
UM, BYE.

Laura says caption reads "A special thanks to Ophea, and the Ophea ambassador team of H and PE teachers for getting us all moving!"
