I found this motivating

So many people today are struggling to find motivation.

It’s tough to find the motivation needed to get out of bed and into workout clothes.

It’s even tougher to find the motivation to stick with a healthy eating plan.

The chaos of 2020 is taking its toll on our minds and bodies, but there’s a way out.

If you’re struggling to find motivation to get to exercise, allow these seven reasons to inspire you to get moving…

Exercise Because —Your Body Works

It may seem like an odd reason to work out, but the fact that you can work out ought to inspire you to do so. After all there are plenty of folks who have been affected by disease or congenital conditions that make working out impossible. If you are able to exercise, do it! Every movement you make, be grateful and work to learn your body’s limits. In essence when you do this you’re giving your body a high five!

Exercise Because —Disease Can’t Handle It

True, there are diseases that will attack you regardless of your fitness level. However, exercising regularly (starting today) is one of the best ways to build yourself up against all sorts of ailments and illnesses. From the common cold to coronavirus, exercise helps you avoid health issues and live a healthier, longer life.

Exercise Because —Your Family Loves You

Because you want to be around for years in the future, you need to exercise. As seen above, exercise is a great way to fend off all sorts of health issues, many of them life-threatening. So if you want to show love to family members who love you, you’ll need to work out regularly. Afraid your workouts will take away family time? Get up earlier or take your loved ones with you.

Exercise Because —You Beat Goals

Some people meet goals. When you commit to getting in the gym today, you set yourself up to beat goals. Because once you reach your new bench-press or weight-loss goal, you move on to the next. Do this in the gym enough and it will start to happen in the rest of your life. Deadline at work coming up soon? No problem. Wish you could read more books? Consider it done. Ready to quit smoking? You can do it. All because you worked out today.

Exercise Because —Life Will Be Easier

Ever struggled to get out of bed and get on with your day? Exercising today can help that. Wonder why you always feel stressed out? Once you get in the gym this afternoon you’ll be able to shed the stress. Wish you had the sex drive that you seemingly lost a few years ago? Today’s workout will get you on the right track there as well. See a heavy couch that needs lifting? After spending time in the gym today, that couch will be light as a feather tomorrow. In other words, exercise makes everything in life better, easier, and more bearable!

Exercise Because —Your Body Will Surprise You

When you started on your exercise journey, you wanted to change your body. But somewhere along the way you forgot about that swimsuit-ready body you desired so much early on. Well, guess what? It can still be yours! All you’ve got to do is get in the gym today and get back on the road to it. In six months, you’ll be amazed at how much better your body looks and how much more you enjoy being you.

Exercise Because —Your Friends Will Join You

It can be hard to keep working out in the gym every day if your loved ones aren’t into it. However, if you stick with it and trust your trainer, your loved ones may eventually want to join you in your exercise. Once they realize you’re seeing positive results, they won’t want to miss out. So by going to the gym today, you’re helping others be healthy!

The Problem with Your Diet

For more than 20 years the media has bombarded us with a perpetual diet craze. An avalanche of fad diets are announced one after another as breaking news while producing zero true results. Sure, you may lose 5, 10 or even 20 pounds on a fad diet...but you’ll gain it all back and then some. How can I be so confident that your results will be short lived? It’s actually a simple concept, and once you understand it you will be forever saved from the tortures of yo-yo dieting. Fad diets saddle you with unreasonable calorie restrictions and some even cut out entire food groups just to produce that short lived drop in weight-a process that is actually harmful to your health. The fad diets also ignore one major component to shaping up: exercise. You see, most fad diets operate on one age old premise: cut calories, cut calories, cut calories. By restricting the type and amount of food consumed the fad dieter usually sees an immediate drop in weight. If only it stopped there... 

 But it doesn’t stop there. Life continues, and the fad dieter returns to their pre-diet eating habits-with one major difference in their body due to the sudden drop in pounds. Their calorie requirements have gotten smaller. In practical terms this means that the dieter will begin gaining weight even though they are eating their normal pre-diet portions. And since exercise hasn’t become a part of their routine, the unneeded calories will result in pounds gained. So what’s a dieter to do? Find a brand new diet to follow-right? Wrong. There is a way to drop pounds and firm your body, but you won’t read about it in the next diet book or hear it on the news. The solution to your fad dieting nightmare is a lifestyle change. What is a lifestyle change? To change your lifestyle means to replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones, and to do so consistently. It isn’t something you do for a week or two, only to revert back your old ways-a lifestyle change redefines who you are. 

 I know this is starting to sound like some heavy stuff, but hear me out. Changing your lifestyle from one that is unhealthy to one that is healthy will be the best thing that you ever do for yourself. Trust me, I help people like you make this change every day with amazing results. Fact: The shape of your body is the direct result of your current lifestyle. So how do I change my lifestyle? That is a great question, and the answer is actually easier than you might think. Most people who are unhappy with their bodies are really only holding on to a few bad habits. Once these destructive habits are identified and then replaced with healthy habits their body naturally transforms from one that they loathe to one that they are proud of. In other words, to get the body that you want simply determine your unhealthy habits and replace them with healthy ones. Here are the most prevalent unhealthy habits:

  • The habit of inactivity. Failing to exercise on a consistent basis is one of the most destructive obstacles for your health and figure. (The key word here is consistent. If you aren’t exercising at least 3-4 times each week then you own this habit.)
  • The habit of overeating. Consuming calories in excess of your daily caloric needs is one of the main reasons that more adults are overweight today than ever before.
  • The habit of empty calories. Filling your diet with foods that hold little to no nutritional value is a great way to expand your waist. (Hint: if a food item is made up of mainly sugar and/or fat consider it ’empty’ calories.)

You can lose weight and improve both your appearance and your health. You can look and feel great. You can transform yourself into the person that you’ve always wanted to be. Don’t let another day go by that leaves you a slave to unhealthy habits. Take action now. Call or email me today and together we will recreate your lifestyle and redefine your body. By the way, I should mention another deadly habit that destroys too many people’s dreams. The habit of procrastination. How many times have you told yourself that you will start eating healthy tomorrow? How many times have you promised that you would call me to start your personal training program? Each day that you succumb to the habit of procrastination is a day that pulls you farther and farther from your goals. Break that nasty habit of procrastination-contact me today.

You Need a Weight Loss Strategy

Kel Silas CPT MHT NS EXtreme Personal Fitnes

Hi there fit buddy. My name is Kel Silas. Yes that is really me featured in the pictures below to the far right. In the pictures below I worked hard to gain 10 pounds of lean muscle and lose 8 pounds of unwanted body fat in 12 weeks. When you gain muscle and lose body fat simultaneously the results are DRAMATIC and INCREDIBLE! #EXtremeFatLoss

​When I lost all of that body fat I had a weight loss strategy designed for Hollywood movie stars. Without this strategy I would have just been spinning my wheels for months and years without much success. Funny (true story) I told some of my secrets back then to a friend who got featured in the legendary magazine Muscle and Fitness.​

You need a weight loss strategy! Having a weight loss strategy could prevent someone becoming depressed because of their weight. Having a weight loss strategy can help eliminate all of the pain and frustration of you not knowing what to do and trying to figure out what to do to lose weight, burn fat and get in shape! You can avoid making mistakes that cause you losing valuable time and energy. It can help overcome the fears of failing by showing them proven strategies and roadmaps to achieve success.

What's Your Goal??

Couples who sweat together stay together!


crop.82b0b387.shutterstock_1011564043_min.jpg


According to Psychology Today's 2014 article "5 Reasons Why Couples Who Sweat Together Stay Together", lab studies have shown and proved that couples who are working out, exercising and taking part in activities together reported increased feelings of overall relationship satisfaction, closeness and connection, and even feeling more in love with their partner.  They say that ​a family that prays together stays together​ and apparently the same exact thing holds true for exercise and fitness.

Couples don't always have or share the same exact fitness goals but regular exercise time together can help to build a better bond and connection, reduce stress and tension in a relationship or marriage, provide motivation and accountability plus emotional support. This can also be a great time to have open discussions with each other and even discuss cooking options and other strategies to improve your health.  Couples can also increase relationship happiness, help each other achieve goals faster, improve exercise efficiency, and even make your partner fall more in love with you.  The link to the article written by Dr. Theresa DiDonato Ph.D. is below.
