This tiny tot has found the perfect trainer to get in shape to really wow the doctor at the next pediatric visit—[Rocky Balboa](http://time.com/4116452/original-rocky-review-creed/). In the video, the kiddo uses Sylvester Stallone’s hard-working boxer with a heart of gold as a training guide, following along as Rocky pumps iron, does push-ups, and breaks a sweat during his training montage. If Rocky does it, so does the body-building baby and if the baby can do it, so can you. Cue up the “Survivor” soundtrack and start your work out. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4401117/watch-this-baby-work-out-just-like-sylvester-stallone-in-rocky/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4401117/watch-this-baby-work-out-just-like-sylvester-stallone-in-rocky/"},"headline":"Watch This Baby Work Out Just Like Sylvester Stallone in Rocky","datePublished":"2016-07-11T17:10:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:15.275Z","description":"He will pump you up","url":"https://time.com/4401117/watch-this-baby-work-out-just-like-sylvester-stallone-in-rocky/","keywords":["Newsfeed","baby","Viral Videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte34dacd4683a1b7e/69887f59cd1bbac4f26ff976/rocky-still.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte34dacd4683a1b7e/69887f59cd1bbac4f26ff976/rocky-still.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Stallone In Ring With Meredith In 'Rocky'","caption":"","creditText":"United Artists/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4401117/watch-this-baby-work-out-just-like-sylvester-stallone-in-rocky/","name":"Watch This Baby Work Out Just Like Sylvester Stallone in Rocky"}}]}] ```
