Loews Hotels help exercise the tykes
Sweatin' with the newbies? Loews Hotels' 18 sites nationwide recently rolled out a healthful-lifestyle perk aimed at 4- to 6-year-olds. Parents will be able to order up in-room Smart Cycles, which involve pedaling a stationary cycle to move Dora, Barbie, SpongeBob and other characters on adventures via a linked-up TV monitor. Other mini-gym items include Hula Hoops, rocking horses and jump ropes. Like the cycles, they are offered at no extra cost. Info: (800) 235-6397, www.loewshotels.com.
