Ding Guoliang, a 31-year-old photographer who snaps pics in China under the name Jesse, underwent his most dramatic project yet: documenting his family's incredible fitness transformation.

First Steps

[dx_custom_adunit desktop_id="RTK_K67O" mobile_id="RTK_5yk0"] Guoliang, expecting a child with his wife, invited his parents to live with them to help prepare for the incoming child. The first step to familial physical health involved regular power walks, but that soon became child's play for the intrepid family.

One Day At A Time

Power walks gave way to jogging sessions, which gave way to gym sessions, which gave way to astonishing before-and-after pics like this.

Permanent Record

Originally, the family's plan was to stay ultra-healthy for six months, but loved how they looked and felt so much, that they now live like this permanently.

Removing Toxins

When my dad and I hang out, we just watch golf on TV until he falls asleep. But this seems fun, too.

Guoliang found the photoshoot with his grandpa therapeutic: "Taking care of him is not just about offering food and clothing. It means ... making him happy, making him feel that he exists and gratifying him mentally."
