The annual Get Up and Go! Teletubbies day of Exercise is an initiative intended to create an awareness among parents and caregivers of the need for physical activity for young children. The Teletubbies Get Up and Go! show, aired on WXXI, is designed to get small children to start thinking about exercise.

The Teletubbies take them through some of their favorite things to do, like Up and Down and Jumping. Children at home or in daycare settings can incorporate the exercises and related activities into their day.
