About the same way they approach alcohol.
Official Party Line: OK in moderation.
Reality: All over the map.

In practice, my former congregation put little emphasis on physical fitness. They would rather be fat and out of shape, but have good field circus records, than be in shape with only acceptable field circus.
Once, when I embarked on getting in shape and losing some excess weight (which I gained when I first became a witless), they hounded me about that because they worried that I might start attracting the opposite sex. (Which was a total waste of worry--not only did it not produce that effect, but I was not fat by huge amounts anyways.) Better to be fat and ugly (but still able to go out in field circus) than in shape and attractive.

For a revelation of the JW view of fitness, visit an ASSembly and take a good look around.

They do not condem it, however, they would strongly discourage pursuing it as a career, just like they discourage pursuing anything that is non kingdumb related.
