An attempt at a full explanation I can't give you a translation, but here's an explanation: "Leapin lizards" is the famous exclamation of Little Orphan Annie, an iconic comics character. All kinds of adaptations of the "leapin'/leaping exclamation have been used for various other comics characters. It looks like this is one more such exclamation. In this case, "leaping" is being paired with a metonym for a need for exercise (the sweatband). You'll need to find a similarly iconic expression in Spanish and pair it with an appropriate metonym.
