For some parents and their children, working out and eating right has become a family affair. Although it's not always fun for the entire family.
Children and their parents are learning how to get fit together during a special health program at Christus Schumpert Hospital- a recommendation by doctors to many families in the fight against childhood obesity.
Experts say solving the childhood obesity problem lies heavily with parents.
They say if parents get involved then it's easier for obese children to overcome their weight issue.
