The Wiggles, famous for 21 years as four fun Australian men in colorful skivvies, has welcomed a new addition … and it’s a girl! Three of the original four band members are retiring which has made way for a new generation of Wiggles with a pretty yellow twist. (Meet the entire new cast in this video interview.) Even though The Wiggles have ALWAYS catered to both boys and girls, Emma Watkins, new role as the yellow Wiggle is sure to inspire and enthrall teeny little ladies across the globe. She’s about to launch in to a territory similar to that of Cinderella, Snow White and Dora the Explorer except the real cool thing is – she’s a REAL PERSON! And what an adorable and ridiculously talented person she is. The Wiggles made a first-class choice with this young lady who’s singing skills are the real deal. She’s got the voice, she’s got the bubbly personality and she’s got a fabulously healthy look which makes her an ideal role model for the kids. Kudos to Anthony, Jeff, Murray, Greg and Paddy on their choice.
I’ve spent the last six years working with The Wiggles to share fitness fun with the masses. In our first workout together, Emma gave a few great tips on how to hula hoop for fitness. It’s a really cool tool and you’ll be surprised by how many calories you can burn while doing it!
**Anthony and crew – I may forever be slightly insulted that I wasn’t given a shot at being a new Wiggle (even though I can’t sing). But, keep working out with me and I’ll probably forgive you. XOXO
