After finding the right phage for the big bad superbug-beating job, Connie and her customers head back into the lab to show that giant baddie who's boss!

“Hello everyone! Pleased to meet ya! I box bad bacteria for breakfast!

Take that pow, pow, pow!”🥊🦠👹

But what nobody realised was this superbug had got extra huge and extra scary while they were away, and our hero phage gets stage fright and forgets how to battle it!😟

It’s time to step in and lend a hand, adventurers – I think a song might be the medicine we need…🎤🎶

Connie and the gang have been doing some tai chi 🙆‍♀️, bean can weightlifting 🥫 and even a supermarket sweep 🛒 on Planet Exercise! 🪐 But now, Connie wants to turn things up a notch…

“Wow, this zone looks much more intense. There’s step trainers that go on and on, speed walking zones, a racetrack! And just look at those bikes with a big screen on that makes it look like you’re riding anywhere in the world! I fancy that!”

The customers dive into a fun chair exercise bootcamp, while Connie and Nana Debs hop on the “ride anywhere” bikes 🚴 travelling to the jungle, a sweet factory and even the moon! 🌝

But when it all gets a bit too much for Nan, Connie learns that exercise doesn’t always have to be super intense to be good medicine for people with Parkinson's 💊❤️

Join us for Part 2 of ‘A Planet Exercise Adventure’ and get moving with us - just make sure you’re back in time for the TV broadcast! 📺
