==Summary==
[[Arthur Read|Arthur]] doesn't fit into his costume for the play and is shocked to learn that he's now "husky-sized." He wants to get in shape, but is he ready to try something as radical as ... exercise?

==Plot==
Arthur is supposed to be playing a seemingly rich character in the school play. He is told to come to [[Nigel Ratburn|Mr. Ratburn]], along with everybody else, showing him his costume. Arthur's costume doesn't fit, so he can't show him his costume.

Arthur goes to a clothing store, where he buys a new suit. He is too embarrassed to show the rest of the cast.

Arthur talks to Mr. Ratburn, where he tells him a short tale of his own past. Arthur's class were each given a pedometer to track the steps they have taken a day. Mr. Ratburn told the class to aim for 10,000 steps a day, which is much more than Arthur's.

Arthur begins to do more exercise, with the help of his friends and family, and even Pal. As a result, Arthur is able to fit into his costume, and he and D.W. give each other a high five. At the play, Arthur performs wonderfully (using a tip from his sister).

==Trivia==
*This is the first episode to be written by [[Raye Lankford]].
*In 2015, the episode was made available freely on the official ''Arthur'' website as part of the fitness section of a feature titled [[Arthur family health]]. The episode can be watched [https://pbskids.org/arthur/health/fitness/episode.html here] It is also available on the PBS KIDS Video app and website. However the video doesn't work as of 2020.
*Despite the fact that this episode acts like Arthur has suddenly gotten husky, he actually looks the same body shape as he does in all the other episodes.
*'''Timeline:''' According to [[Jane Read]], Arthur has been wearing the same pair of pants since [[Lucy]]'s wedding, as seen in "[[D.W. Thinks Big (episode)|D.W. Thinks Big]]."
*'''4th wall break:''' The cover plays in the concert is a guitar version of the ''Arthur'' theme song.
