[Jason Straka in open valley in Ivvavik, Devon Turner in open valley, both guys start doing pushups]
Jason Straka: I’m Jason Straka from the University of Victoria, we’re in Ivvavik National Park and I’m studying the interactions between insects and their environment here.
Devon Turner: I ‘m Devon Turner and I am in Ivvavik national park and I’m studying the breeding biology of American robins.
Voice off camera: Really? Ok well hold on a second, this is just...

[Jason and Devon doing push-ups in field]
Jason:Times 28 plots...
Voice off camera:You do push ups at every site?
Devon: Yeah.

[Devon and Jason after doing push-ups]
Devon: We used to walk really far distances but now that we don’t walk as far we make up for it with push ups.
Jason: We do clappers on the days that we do fewer plots.
Voice off camera: Can I see a clapper?
Devon: I can do a clapper.
Jason: I don’t think I actually can do one.

[Devon on ground doing clappers, push-ups while clapping hands in air]
Jason: See?
Devon: That is a small example of our day.

[more of Devon and Jason ding push-ups and clappers]
Devon: Some days when we get really tired, our arms get sore, we switch to sit ups.
Jason: It’s 40 sit ups for one push up.

[the guys show us the soil moisture probe, then go back to push-ups]
Jason: Plus, working the soil moisture probe...
Devon: Yeah I get my tricep work out.
We have to measure the soil moisture and so I push that in and then when I get it in I use my triceps
That’s one rep.
That’s the testosterone doing its job.

[pan over and see girl laughing at them]
