U.S. Army Captain Gives Report

"Matt,

I've been meaning to write you for some time, and please feel free to use this as another testimonial on your website.

I started Combat Conditioning in May 2005 (today is January 12, 2006). My first recorded max was 20 Hindu pushups, 50 Hindu squats, and I was barely able to do the bridge (needing both hands on the ground) for 20 seconds or so. And doing that all took a few weeks of training and still about killed me.

Well, 8 months later, I've come a long way. Last night a 3 minute bridge with no hands (something I've been able to do for months now), followed by 200 Hindu pushups (in 15 minutes 10 seconds) and 701 Hindu Squats (in 20 minutes 32 seconds).

By way of background, I've been athletic for the last 12 years or so, running two marathons when I was 22 years old (I'm almost 34 now) and never did much of any weight training as I never enjoyed it and never got any benefit from it. I've always been very thin. When I started CC I was 6' 1" and 145lbs. I'm now 166lbs and it's not any fat that I've added.

When I visited family back in Thanksgiving, they were shocked to see how good I looked.

One thing I love about Combat Conditioning is that I'm getting both a "body-building" workout and "cardio" workout at the same time. If you'd told me 6 months ago that I'd ever be able to do 200 Hindu Pushups, I wouldn't have thought it possible.

I can now also fall into a bridge (backbend), something I'd never been able to do my entire life.

Matt Furey has a DAILY Politically Incorrect fitness tip for you! Name: E-Mail:

Bridging alone has virtually eliminated almost all back and neck pain that I've had for years.

Trips to my chiropractor have gone from about once a week to around once a month.

I do the Magnificent 7 from <Combat Abs - every morning when I wake up. This has greatly helped me as well. The Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener and Vacuum exercises have really helped with my digestion.

I followed your advice and bought a Chest-Expander from Lifeline USA, Portable Power Jumper, and Power Pushup 2, all of which have greatly assisted my training.

Combat Conditioning has really changed my life for the better. I am a fairly high-strung guy and this helped relax me to some degree.

As an attorney (JAG) and officer in the U.S. Army, I have a very demanding job and CC has helped me to stay focused and better relaxed at work- something my colleagues and superiors probably appreciate as well.

I've followed your advice and quit drinking coffee cold turkey six months and that alone has yielded great results. I've also benefited from my membership in the Matt Furey Inner Circle especially by listening to your monthly CDs, reading the newsletters, and getting advice and support on the forum.

I can say without a doubt that everything you teach: 1) makes intuitive sense to me and 2) bears true through the personal results that I am achieving.

While your products are not particularly cheap, I am getting much more value than what I've paid for and I only wish I had found out about you years ago and started these exercises then. Thanks for everything!
