The statistics are sobering. As CBS News reports, almost 18 percent of teenagers in America are obese. And obese kids often become obese adults.

But how do teenagers, dealing with endless pressure surrounding school, friends, and just about every aspect of their lives, overcome weight issues?

According to CBS News, weight loss camps stand among the most reliable and safe sources for kids to lose weight and develop lifelong healthy eating habits.

At places like Camp Shane in Ferndale, New York, kids find support, feel accepted for who they are and do not hear the cruel scrutiny they often endure back at school. The camp regimen involves portion control, exercise and education about healthy food choices.

Wellspring Camps, another leader in weight loss camps for kids, describes how their program helps campers adopt a healthy life style and not just lose the extra pounds for the summer. Fitness professionals, such as personal trainers, and nutrition experts are at the camps to help kids learn about the importance of forming healthy habits.

Of course, the kids need support of their parents and schools when they go home. That support stands as the key to ensuring kids' success in sustaining not only fitness but healthiness throughout their lives.

Personal trainers are also an excellent tool to help kids learn the importance of healthy eating and exercise. If kids learn healthy habits early, they're much more likely to continue those habits into adulthood.

If you're interested in helping families learn about the importance of fitness, learn more about personal training and personal training certification.
