InAnimal Crossing andDoubutsu no Mori e+[edit]
InDoubutsu no Mori+ andAnimal Crossing, each morning before 7:00 AM from July 25 to August 31,Copper will conduct morning aerobics at thewishing well with four othervillagers. After receiving anexercise card fromTortimer during the event, theplayer can start accumulating stamps by speaking with him on subsequent days. If a player gets the card stamped at fourteen morning aerobics sessions, Tortimer will reward them with anaerobics radio, which enables the player to perform the exercises at home. The villagers participating will also periodically go off-sync with the group and will panic shortly after. InDoubutsu no Mori e+, an Easter egg was added where if the player repeatedly presses
, it will cause the other villagers to panic.
Morning aerobics will not occur if it the weather is rainy, or if the save file is loaded on or after 6:55 AM.

InNew Horizons[edit]
Group stretching was added toAnimal Crossing: New Horizons in the2.0 Free Update. The player can start group stretching by interacting with a specialtape deck in theplaza outsideResident Services. The tape deck moves around during special holidays for the player to interact, though it cannot appear during theCountdown. During group stretching, both villagers and special characters participate, and the player can perform stretches with either button or motion controls. Which special characters participate depend on who is on the island at the time. Unlike its original appearance, villagers partaking in the stretching do not panic if they go off-sync with the group, but instead look around as if to make sure they are doing the same thing as the others.
When havingmultiple players over, only the host can initiate the group stretching, and all players must participate. All players must also be Best Friends with the host. They are all brought to the plaza to join along, and, once the session has ended, they return to their previous locations.
Special rewards will be given to the player after doing a group stretch once per day.
