“Childhood obesity has reached epidemic levels in this country. Sneaky Fitness is critical to in helping the future health of our children. Larysa is the foremost expert on training children. Her expertise in this area cannot be matched.”

Julianne J. 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."
