In his first email, he simply told her he wanted to get in shape and asked questions about Body Beast. Kailin agreed, largely because he focused on the program rather than instantly trying to reclaim a father-daughter relationship, she says. I was looking for anything to get us together.”Īfter ordering the program, Keith reached out to Kailin and asked if she would be his Beachbody Coach. “I figured that maybe if I was able to connect with her about something she loves we could at least talk, text, email. “Seeing her on TV, and in such great shape, kicked me into gear to lose weight, get physically fit again, and maybe create some common ground with my girl,” Keith says.
Sure, at 54, his body wasn’t functioning the same way it had during his 13 years in the Marine Corps, and his snug size 36 pants had long since indicated it might be time to make a change in his lifestyle, but it was seeing his daughter on TV that made him commit. So in May 2016, shortly after seeing Kailin on TV, Keith ordered Body Beast with two goals in mind: to better himself and to reconnect with his estranged daughter. He hadn’t seen his daughter Kailin in more than 12 years when he saw her in the last place he’d expect: on TV, talking about her radical weight-loss transformation in a Beachbody infomercial for Body Beast.
Seeing his daughter in a Beachbody infomercial was the kick Keith needed to get into shape.
