Smith, Ypsilanti Dist. Lib., MI -- Library Journal , 12/17/2009 "Lapine hit the best-sellers list with The Sneaky Chef and is probably headed there again. Fearing that exercise is as "antiquated as a VHS player" and with 32 percent of children classified as overweight, she and celebrity trainer Didio show parents how to bring age-specific exercise easily into children's lives. They correctly assert that kids can get into a habit of inactivity and tend not to prioritize things like "health" or other pursuits that don't have instant results. Broken down by age groups, the exercises--each listed with calorie calculations--are designed to weave cardio, strength training, and flexibility into everyday routines. The activities are simple, inexpensive, and fun (e.g., kids will love playing driveway "hockey" with a giant ice cube and brooms). Also included are new Sneaky Chef recipes, which are essentially the equivalent of spiking your kids' food with nutrient-rich foods of similar colors.... I applaud the design that went into Sneaky Fitness to make it so easy to read and use.
