how do you get a couch potato boy off the computer and to enjoy going for a walk or something with you?

my mum used to ration time on the computer by locking the CPU but my brother sussed out how to unlocked it by opening up the CPU pretty quickly!
would love to hear from advice too. my cousin slobs out at home all day during summer hols and doesn't want to go out, even if we try to entice him with treats of books and ice-cream, his fav stuff. he just hates walking!

He's nearly 7. Actually, it's not just walks I want to go on, it's that I want him to go places ad do things. he hates transitions. you can almost hear the word no before you ask anything, but once he is forced to do something, he will often enjoy it but it's such a struggle.

I set a cooking timer for TV and computer use, after that the children have to either entertain themselves or we do something together.
My kids love to go swimming or play games, if there is something to do then they are happy.
What are the options for your son?
If we go for a walk, quite often we will take bug catching equipement so there is something to do.
Does he have a bike? My kids love to head off to the park and ride their bikes, it's more interesting than just going for a walk.
Also having friends join in usually gets my son a lot more interested.
