how can i get my family to start excersizing and eating healthy?

I am a 16 year old vegan and have been since i was 8. i excersize often. my family is at super high risk of diabetes (my grandpas on both sides had it, my grandma and uncle have it) my family eats nothing but crap! my dad looks like he is going to keel over and have a heart attack everytime he moves. im not saying i want them to become vegans like i am, but i think their eating habbits definatly need to change. our fridge and pantries are full with poptarts, chips, candy, whole milk, but the thing is if they arent eating that they are eating taco bell, in and out, but tonight it was pizza.
i try to encourage them to atleast eat subway, or atleast buy whole wheat pasta. little things. but they refuse. i ask them to do pilates or yoga or jog or wlak with me but they say later.
what do i do? i tell them i dont want them to get sick. what procedures should i take to help them become more healthy?

is it harmful for us to run on a treadmill bare-footed?

YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM CHANGE.

You probably don't like to be lectured; they probably don't like being lectured to, either.

If you want to have any impact at all, change your approach.
you can invite them to come with you when you do something that is healthy and outdoorsy.
You can offer to cook lunch/dinner some of the time, and make healthier things.
you can offer to pick up supper ( like the veggie sandwiches at subway) or you can offer to do the shopping.

You can't force them but get them to make a tiny change now, a tiny change in a couple of weeks. This site has tips to help them like making them a delicious fruit salad that they will adore and have them eat it on an empty stomach. Also has great info on how healthy vegan is.

Whats a good exercise to "muscle up" your stomach?

well, one way is to get your family into playing sports. you could start off slowly taking you family bowling, or putt-putt. it get your parents to chase the kids around if there any. sugest to them walk around the block. after dinner or before. try to sneak it in. so they won't notice. that always works.
