Jesse used this as an opportunity to get his family on board with his fitness journey.

Jesse also invited his father to join them. He knew that this would help his father “regain his passion for life.”

At first they started fast-walking, which gradually became jogging, then running.

Jesse and his father did more and more exercises, then eventually joined a gym together.

But even after, the family found that exercise became a huge part of their lives.

When asked about what has been the most rewarding part of their family’s health journey, Jesse said that hands down, it’s seeing his father become a confident man.
