Brody Lee Smith is determined to get a girl to like him and he knows how he’s going to make that happen — by getting ripped, of course. While pedaling away on the stationary bike, the young gym rat quips that he wants to get in shape in order to impress an older girl. “I’m trying to get stronger so I can show her, so I can be her best friend, so she doesn’t have to be rude to me all day,” he says. **Read More:** [Watch This Toddler’s Adorable Impersonation of Adele’s ‘Hello’](http://time.com/4138276/toddler-adorable-impersonation-adele-hello/ "undefined") He also explains that he has competition he needs to beat out. “He’s a kid bigger than me, and I’m going to get bigger than him because I’m an athlete,” he says. “A guy’s gotta do what a guy’s gotta do.” The youngster even gives some sound advice on how to stay fit. “If a guy doesn’t do what he’s supposed to do, he won’t get stronger, he’ll be weak. He’ll be big and old and eat junk. Guys need to exercise,” he reasons. “I’ve been having a little junk, but I’m still working out so that means all the junk is going out.” More power to you, Brody. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4178763/toddler-works-out-to-impress-girl/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4178763/toddler-works-out-to-impress-girl/"},"headline":"Watch This Hilarious Video of a Toddler Working Out to Impress a Girl","datePublished":"2016-01-13T16:23:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:28:41.879Z","description":"\"A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do\"","url":"https://time.com/4178763/toddler-works-out-to-impress-girl/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Exercise","viral","health","Working out","Toddlers","gym"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"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/4178763/toddler-works-out-to-impress-girl/","name":"Watch This Hilarious Video of a Toddler Working Out to Impress a Girl"}}]}] ```
