They pack their fishing gear, sandwiches, and lots of spinach to make sure they are fueled and ready for a long day at sea. As they set out on their boat, Olive Oyl suggests that they should do some exercising while they wait for the fish to bite.

Popeye agrees and encourages everyone to get up and move. Olive Oyl leads the group in some stretching exercises, followed by Wimpy's attempt at push-ups. Swee'Pea joins in too, and they all have a good laugh watching each other's attempts at fitness.

As they continue to wait for the fish, Olive Oyl suggests that they should try some yoga, which she learned from a book she recently purchased. They all agree, and Olive Oyl leads them in some basic yoga poses. The group is surprised by how challenging it is, but they feel reinvigorated and ready to catch some fish.

Just as they are about to give up hope, they finally get a bite on their fishing line. They all jump up with excitement and work together to reel in the fish. The group celebrates their successful catch, and they realize that exercising and moving around made the waiting time go by faster and more enjoyable.

Later in the day, as they return to shore, they stop by a new skating rink in town. Popeye is hesitant to try it out, but Olive Oyl convinces him to give it a try. The group straps on their skates, and they hit the ice.

Popeye struggles to keep his balance at first, but with some encouragement from his friends, he begins to get the hang of it. Wimpy, on the other hand, becomes a natural and starts showing off with some fancy moves. Swee'Pea is a little more hesitant but gets the hang of it too.

As they skate around, they can't help but notice a group of bullies who are picking on a smaller child. Popeye decides to intervene and puts his skating skills to the test. With the help of his friends, they successfully deter the bullies and make sure the child is safe.

The episode ends with the group feeling proud of themselves for their successful day of fishing, exercising, and skating. They all realize that by staying active and encouraging each other, they can accomplish anything they put their minds to.
