The Fitness Training Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch

Hi, this is my life.

I love cooking.

They smell amazing.

My dad's a chef...

Ironman Daddy!

..but I think I'm already better than him.

My name's Matilda Ramsay,

but people usually call me Tilly.

Meet my...

Ramsay.

Mum - she wears the trousers

and is the only one Dad's afraid of.

I'm not kissing you when you're like that.

Big sister Megan.

She's all grown up now and

craving to get on with life.

Jack - he's so good at sport,

he's going to be playing for Britain soon.

This is Holly,

she is determined to be the greatest fashion designer of her generation.

Dad...

Even though he's hard on the outside,

he's soft and mushy on the inside.

And he's QUITE a good cook too.

Eh, excuse me? How about "very"?

Matilda...

-Matilda!

-When you're the youngest, you have to fight to get noticed.

So that's why I love to...

This is my world.

OK, Ramsays, are we ready?

Right, let's go. All out!

We've been spending the summer in Los Angeles, California.

It's such a cool place.

This city really suits my family

cos we're fitness crazy.

There are joggers, gyms,

skateboarders and cyclists everywhere.

Hip flexes in and open. Come on, Megan, please.

Today, we're having a workout with dad.

Legs apart, and just flow in the middle.

My job is to do the food,

and I'm making it really healthy.

In my fitness picnic will be my granola bars,

healthy wraps and summer kale salad.

And well done.

First job, my granola bars.

Dad lives off granola bars after his training,

so I thought I'd tailor-make some special Tilly ones for him.

Put honey and dates into a pan and heat.

It's going to be super sticky.

I mean, sticky dates and sticky honey.

Whilst that heats, get on with your yummy nuts, seeds and fruit.

This is my oats.

I'm going to add in the sunflower seeds...

-Hello, Dad.

-Hi.

Just checking you're OK.

-What are you making?

-Granola bars - your favourite.

I LOVE granola bars.

That's why I've got that six pack

because of the granola bar!

How are you going to get them stuck together?

I'm using raw honey and dates...

-Wow.

-..to make a sticky paste.

-Wow.

Now, can we just talk about that at the moment?

-Mm-hmm.

-Just very, very quickly. Dates...

They are very complicated.

Yeah, I...

It's OK. Dad, the door's this way.

No, no...

Wait.

I honestly don't mind coming with you and having a table of three

-because dates are important...

-I'll microwave your coffee for you.

Oh, your coffee's finished.

'He's nuttier than my next ingredient...'

Oh, Dad.

'..pecan nuts.'

In goes some apricots!

Some coconut...

-HOWLING

-Dad's all upset now.

..and some chia seeds.

Let me know when you want to talk to me about your dates.

These are super healthy.

Oh, Dad.

Now that the dates and honey are at the boil,

they are ready to be blended into a paste.

Once it's cooled, get it to glue everything together.

Start mixing. Nuts and seeds are definitely really, really healthy.

I can smell those dates.

'Uh-oh, he's back.'

I've made this recipe for you.

-Really?

-Yep.

-I didn't know that.

I thought you were going all, sort of, super healthy.

So, this is my training bars?

Yeah, it's for everyone.

Maybe now he'll stop teasing me and help me pack the mix

into an ovenproof dish.

-Sorry, I'm...

-You're so excited.

I am excited about these bars!

-'Two can play at that game.'

-Why did you do that to me?

-Right, in the oven...how long?

-40 minutes.

-40 minutes, right, I'll see you later...

-Love you.

..I'm going training, I'll be back for a bar. See you on the beach.

Oh! It's looking healthy.

Let it cool for a bit and slice.

So, I'm going to cut it into thin strips

cos you don't want it too thick.

If you make healthy food delicious,

people are really going to want to eat it.

So they look like cool, individual snack bars,

I'm wrapping each one in grease-proof paper.

I'm actually going to change the name of these.

Instead of calling them granola bars,

I'm going to call them Daddy's Ironman bars.

My whole family are mad about sports...

Ironman Daddy!

..and one of my favourites is skateboarding.

It was invented in LA by surfers

as something to do when the waves are flat.

Now, Jack wants to learn too and he's getting his first board.

Skateboards are right over here, I'll show you guys where they are.

Thank you.

If you're looking for something a little bit more, you know...

To start out with, for a beginner,

then you're probably interested in one of these smaller cruisers.

They have rubber wheels

so they'll cruise over cracks and rocks pretty comfortably.

Before he buys one, he's got to road test it.

He's good for somebody who's just learning how to skateboard.

Jack might be able to stand on it,

but this is how it should be done.

You can totally ride it like you're on a surfboard.

The best skateboarders in the world come from LA

because the weather's so good they can do it all year round.

-Oh, no!

-JACK LAUGHS

I'm stuck.

I was kind of hoping he would fall, but he didn't.

Horrible sister!

Seeing your little brother fall.

Oh, no. Jack's heading for the car again.

Oh, not in here again.

Turn, Jack, turn!

Maybe one day he'll be as good as me.

-Can I skateboard home?

-Yep.

-Yep.

The next thing on my super-fit picnic menu is

packed protein to build muscles

and loads of delicious veg.

They're actually a bit like sandwiches really.

First, I'm going to get my chicken on to fry.

Some oil.

The pan will get really hot,

so if you can't stand the heat,

get your adult to help.

Washing your hands is very important after touching raw chicken.

Then make a yummy bowl of salad with cooked quinoa.

This magical grain is sold in most supermarkets,

and it's a super food.

I'm going to add in some cucumber...

Mmm.

..some sundried tomato,

then peppers, parsley...

I'm going to give it a nice and big mix.

Wow, it's amazing and colourful.

..olive oil, a bit of salt and pepper.

Check out my chicken.

Hmm. Ready.

Time to build my wraps

and I'm using wholemeal ones.

First, add scrummy hummus, made from chickpeas.

Next, spinach.

Then chicken. Two or three pieces, depending on the size.

Then the bright and crunchy quinoa salad.

I think people are going to love these.

And my favourite healthy ingredient, avocado. Yum.

Roll it over.

Roll it up in the tinfoil to keep it all together.

Just like a Christmas cracker.

My healthy California wraps.

You've got to try them!

Whilst I finish wrapping,

Jack, Megan an Holly have gone to Santa Monica beach -

where people are fitness mad.

That looks like a great workout.

You're going to have really good arms, really good abs...

Holly, Megan and Jack are getting a gymnastics lesson from David,

starting with the travelling rings.

That was so cool. Wow.

This is incredible.

THEY APPLAUD Thank you.

Jack loves learning new sports, so no surprise that he's first up.

-Go, Jack.

-All right, ready?

-Yes.

Run hard and half-turn.

Run, run, run. Half turn. Run more. Grab it!

Now, pull your right arm really hard and let go.

Hey, hey, he's gone.

See ya! Oh, he's good.

He's got a real good rhythm.

Most people don't do it as well as him.

The tendencies of people is to go in circles

because they don't have an even pull.

He's got a very even pull. He's good.

Jack set a high standard,

but Megan loves to beat him.

Are you tight? Very good.

-Grab the second ring, ready?

-She's off.

-Grab it!

-Oh!

-No! Ramsay down!

Let's see an action replay of that.

That's an epic fail. Poor Megan.

It really hurts.

Ah, I think Jack's just the master at this.

After Megan's fall, Holly's going to try out another trick.

Up, stand tall. Straight legs.

Yes, perfect. Now, put your hand on my shoulder and jump off.

Beautiful.

Jack, you did really well.

Thank you. My hands are on fire right now.

Back to my kitchen workout and my last super-fit dish

is sweet summer kale salad with honey dressing.

Mum and dad love it when we eat this because it's healthy.

I love it cos it's delicious.

It's got some plums, nectarines,

kale, pistachios,

and a yummy goat's cheese.

Megan loves this cheese. Mix it up.

Food like this is great for sharing,

so it's one box between two.

So, my plan is, maybe Jack and Dad share,

me and Mum, and then Meg and Holly.

Time for the dressing.

So, in this jar, I'm going to put about...

A third of it is going to be the apple cider vinegar.

When you're making a dressing - one third vinegar, two thirds oil.

Then add honey and mustard.

This kind of makes it a bit more interesting, a bit spicier.

Two good squirts of honey.

I love honey.

Mmm. Needs a good shake.

MUSIC: Shake It Off by Taylor Swift

# I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

# Shake it off, shake it off. #

That's looking better.

A quick snap of my summer salad

for my food blog.

You can find that and some of

my recipes on the CBBC website.

Lunch is all packed up and ready to go -

time to hit the beach.

Even the pets here are super healthy.

Oh, look, look, look, look.

You are kidding me. Hello!

She is gorgeous.

Butterball is a bulldog.

We've got one at home called Rumpole.

And all he does is just let off, wee-wee and sleep.

-They're like babies, right?

-They are like babies. Exactly that.

You won't catch Rumpole on a skateboard.

That's one cool dog.

ALL: Bye!

Now, it's time for a Ramsay workout.

-Right, keep fit time. Are we ready?

-Yay!

Let's go. Are we ready? Tilly, you're going first.

The second net on the left-hand side.

-Dad's like a sergeant major about exercise.

-Tilly, off you go.

The aim of the catch up game is to overtake the person in front.

Take your time. Pace yourself.

Catch me if you can, Holly!

And... Jack, off you go.

-Why is Mum behind me?

-Megan, please.

Off you go, Meg. Catch him up. Second net.

Off you go. Please stop whingeing, Tana. Please.

Wow.

Well done, Tilly.

Well done.

-Eat my dust, Holly.

-Well done, high five.

Good job and little stretch.

Ooh, Jack's overtaken her.

And well done.

What's going on with Mum all of a sudden - is she in her armchair?

Well done, Megs.

Has Mummy really ran nine marathons?

The QE2 turns quicker.

-Well done. Right...

-I heard that.

HE LAUGHS

-You ready for a bike ride?

-Yep.

-I'm ready.

This one you're going to love cos I've got a superfast bike. Let's go.

-Who's this?

-Oh, no.

OK, Ramsays, let's go. Are we ready?

Uh-oh. Sergeant Major Ramsay's really going to show us up now.

Right, let's go. All out.

Can we speed it up, please?

What do you call a chef on a segway?

Meals on wheels!

-Move!

-Daddy, wait.

Well, some of us have worked up an appetite,

so time for my picnic.

Come on, everybody.

So, this one is what?

-This is kale, apricot, goat's cheese...

-Wow.

..and some nuts.

So, Holly and Jack share, Mum and Meg, and Dad and I.

-Tills, what are these red things?

-Goji berries.

-Wow.

-Very healthy.

-That's so good, Tills.

-Thanks.

-Are they peaches or nectarines?

-Nectarines.

-Really delicious.

I love it.

Now, this is a really healthy chicken wrap.

-Oh, my goodness.

-Thank you.

-One each or Jack and I have to share again?

-One each.

Thank you.

Tilly, you're coming up with the best ideas. Delicious.

Thanks.

When Jack goes quiet for four minutes like that I know how tasty it is.

-What do you reckon, bud?

-Amazing.

Seriously healthy, guys.

I've got a new name for the bars that I cooked earlier.

What are they called?

Daddy's Ironman bars!

-Yes!

-No!

Love it!

-They're nice and light, aren't they?

-They are delicious.

A great, healthy lunch.

My fitness picnic went down a storm,

but I wonder what the captain of Team Ramsay thinks.

-Lunch - that was delicious.

-Oh, thanks.

I mean, seriously, your salad...

The goat's cheese made it for me cos it gave it that bit of saltiness.

And the honey took away from the bitterness of the kale

-which was delicious.

-Definitely.

And the nice thing I liked about the humus was that

-it stopped all the quinoa falling out...

-Yeah.

..cos it's like a little bed that all the quinoa got stuck into so,

-really good.

-Yeah.

And then the Ironman bars...

Ironman Daddy bars.

How do you think the Ramsays did keeping fit?

I think they did really well?

-Who won? Who was the fastest?

-By far, me.

And what's the most important - taking part or winning?

For me, it's taking part.

-Stop it.

-I'm being serious, I don't...

-It's not all about winning. I'm not like you.

-It is...

-It's not all about winning.

-It is about winning.

-It's not...

Although, sometimes you have to come second

to appreciate coming first all the time.

No, Dad. Where did you come in your Ironman?

Eh, hold on a minute.

-I didn't win it.

-Yeah, I know,

so it's about taking part.

Well, yeah, I know, but that's an exception.

I think that's...

Time to cool off.

-So, who's going in the sea?

-Me, I'll beat you there, Jack.

Shorts off.

Oh, whoo!

Jack...

HE LAUGHS

Jack!

Wearing his underpants.

Oh, my goodness. Jack!

He was really good on those bars earlier, Dad.

Don't tell him though.
