Reuters reported today that Jessica Matthews, spokesperson for the American Council of Exercise, likes the Sneaky Fitness philosophy: "Adults hop on a treadmill for 40 or 60 minutes, but for a child that's not enjoyable," said Matthews, a former K-12 physical education teacher. "But fold in exercise with fun activities and games throughout the day and children will respond."
She's particularly fond of the sneaky strategy of leaving a stopwatch around.
"Give a child a stopwatch and Boy! You'd be surprised how fast they can move."
