Five Second Abs in the Shower

Last week I wrote about doing abdominal exercises while
at a stoplight or while flying across the country. Or from
country to country.

All you need to do is follow the advice of Farmer Burns
and spend 2-5 seconds flexing your abs in a certain way
whilst combining it with deep breathing. This alone can
change your midsection... and quickly, too.

Today I am going to reveal another place where you can
work your abs. And if you haven't already guessed the
'where and when' - let me make it crystal clear: it's the
shower.

Get under the shower, relax and let the water pour over y
our nekked body. Inhale deeply and give your abs the five
second treatment. Do it again and again. Ten reps of five
seconds per day will do wonders for your digestion, your
circulation, your energy, your overall health... and of perhaps
the greatest delight to you, your waistline.

This exercise really, really works. And how much time do you
need for it when you combine it with activities you're already
doing. I would think your body is worth five seconds of
exercise, don't you.

Be sure to get a copy of Combat Abs.

details down correctly.

My Wife Doesn't Believe It

Last night I received the following email from a
reader in India. It's got SUCCESS written all over
it. Read and see why:

Dear Matthew
I too would like to tell you my experience with my eight-year
old son, Mehul, in far away India.

In India we have a ranking system in school. Mehul stood
eighth rank in the first term exams. During that time i was
reading Psycho-Cybernetics and I trusted that this book
will surely make him leap to the first rank. So from the
very next day i asked him to meditate for only 10 minutes.

He was to visualize that the principal of the school called
out his name for the first rank and he was going ahead
to pick the trophy. i asked him visualize in vivid details
everything - the smile on his friends face, the standing
ovation he got etc.

He too believed in this idea and never missed a single day
of visualization. You won't believe it the class teacher called
and informed us just before the third term was to start that
Mehul has stood first in his class.

I would like to add that he still continues his visualization
without missing even a single day and his performance in
all the spheres has been top class. He was a timid introverted
boy and now people don't believe whether he is the same guy.

He is developing into a talented dancer when before he was
not able to stand in front of an audience.

i don't understand when it is so easy to make a eight year
old boy understand the power of visualization, the grown
ups are so skeptical and doubtful when I suggest this
technique. I feel they fear success more then anything
else.

My wife has seen this transformation but when i suggest
it to her turn to try this great method she does not seem
enthusiastic. It will be many more times more effective for
her but i am not able to convince her.

Matthew will you be able to help her.

Regards,
Manoj

MJF: Manoj, first off, I commend you for the positive influence
you are having on your son. Now that he is in the top rank it
is important to continually emphasize to him that the journey
is, in truth, more important than the rank. If he continually
puts forth his best effort, and does not need to be motivated
by external awards, if he is inspired rather than motivated, I
think you and he will both be all the better for it.

As for your wife, it is not your job to make sure she believes
everything you believe or that your son believes. Continue to
love her and support her even if she never opens to these
teachings. YOU and you alone are under your control. Your
son took to visualization because he wanted to. You've been
the guide - yet he could have refused to be open, too, if he
wanted.

If you always remember to ask yourself, when frustrated,
what is and what isn't under your control; what is and
what isn't your business - I believe you'll enjoy even more
moments of inner peace and happiness than you now
experience.

Best to you and your family. And thank you for writing to let
me know how everything is going with your son.

The Lombardi Philosophy

Earlier today I came across the following that I want
to share with you:

"One of the first self-help books I ever read was Psycho-
Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz. It had a profound
effect on me, and I was pleasantly surprised when I
found a copy of the book - underlined and dog-eared
- in my father's library after he passed away. I'm convinced
that many of the concepts and ideas that formed my father's
coaching philosophy - including focusing on the successful
effort while putting an error quickly out of mind - came from his
reading of Psycho-Cybernetics."

Vince Lombardi, Jr. -
from The Essential Vince Lombardi - Words & Wisdom to Motivate,
Inspire & Win

If you haven't read Psycho-Cybernetics, do so NOW and change
your life for the better.

If you have, then start learning the deeper secrets that catapult
Psycho-Cybernetics into the stratosphere. Get a copy of the

6 New Books in 2008

Earlier this year I set a goal to have three new
books written and published this year. I now
realize this goal was far too wimpy - so
yesterday I upgraded to six.

Although I'm not ready to reveal the titles of each
of these books just yet - I will tell you they run the
gamut from physical fitness to self-realization/
development to wrestling to Internet marketing.

Two - and quite possibly three of the six will be
ready by May.

Anyway, that's the latest from Furey Central.

What about YOU.

Are you moving forward in 2008 - setting goals for
yourself - and making sure you fulfill them.

If not, consider this: The average person watches
1669 hours of television per year. Divide this by
24 and you have 69.54 days spent before the
idiot box.

Or, put another way, the average person spends
4.57 hours per day watching other people who
are achieving their goals.

Don't see what I'm saying about watching t.v as
100 percent wrong. Some television is a good
thing - me thinks. At the same time, 4,57 hours
a day is out of control. And that is the "average."

Some people spend 8-10 or more hours per day
before the box.

Today my son has a day off from school. He grabbed
the control and turned on the t.v. around 8 a.m. I
immediately let him know he was not going to spend
the whole day before the set. I told him to turn it off.

He did.

At the end of today he's going to be able to say he
accomplished something.

When you watch tee-vee - what can you say you
accomplished.

All of this is important because the masses will tell you
they are busy, that they don't have time to workout,
to pursue a new career, to learn a foreign language,
to read, and so on.

As for myself, I rarely have time to watch tee-vee. I
rarely have time to read the newspapers. I rarely have
any idea whatsoever about what is going on in the
"world."

I am continually looking at what I've gotten done lately.

Are you.

The greatest joy in life comes from creating something
new; bringing something into being that didn't exist
before.

I've done a fair amount of creating over the last 12 years -
but there is so much more to do. And I'm "on it."

Take time to think about what you'd like to create in this
lifetime. Put it in writing - then get started doing it.

life - then put more life in your years with the Chinese

Daddy, What's a Politician

My son, Frank, asked, "Daddy, what's a
politician.

I replied: "Well, do you want the dictionary
definition or the real definition."

"The real definition," said Frank.

"Okay, no problem. The real definition of a
politician is: A legalized criminal, usually
a lawyer by trade, who smiles a lot, makes tons
of promises he or she has no intention of keeping,
who steals from the people he's supposed to protect,
and makes decisions that usually are in direct opposition
to the will of the people. And a politician is a person whom
people place hope in with no due cause."

What does the above have to do with health and
fitness.

A lot.

First, if you make promises to YOURSELF and to those whom you
love - then KEEP those promises.

If you tell yourself and your spouse that you're going to lose some
weight, that you're going to regain your pre-nuptial form - then
DO IT. Don't pretend. Get the job done.

Bob, a friend of mine, had a drinking problem. He realized it
was destroying his life and his family's. So he told his wife
and children that he would never drink again. And if he were
to break his promise, he would eat a can of Alpo dog food off
the cement floor in his garage.

He handed his family a can of dog food to seal his promise.

Bob hasn't touched a drop of booze in over ten years.

Read my lips. Bob's promise is one no politician would ever make.

Second, in regard to your health, you place no hope in anyone
but yourself. Yes, I am all for hiring coaches and investing in
books and courses that steer you in the right direction. But
make no mistake about it - YOU must follow the program with
all your mental and physical might. You have others around to
help you - but YOU are still the one who is ultimately responsible
for how you do.

Advice from a coach can be invaluable. I know the things I learned
from Dan Gable and the many, many other coaches I have had and
still have, still lives with me to this day. Even so, I still have to show
up for practice and give it everything I've got.

Third, all humor aside, it is a good idea to watch politicians and
study their every move. Smiling is a good idea. It makes you happy,
healthier and more likable, even if you're faking it.

Fourth, politicians who are super fat have a tough time getting
elected. Sure, there are exceptions ... Teddy ... but not many.

When you're fit - you present a better image to the world.

Sadly, right now Americans present an awful image to the rest of
the world. We're a laughing stock not just because of our politicians -
but because we're fatter than hell - yet we're still starving.

Oddly enough, we're not starving for success. We're not starving with
a burning desire to make something spectacular of ourselves.

Huh uh. We're starving for more comfort. And our desire for more
comfort is not only putting us in graves faster - it's putting us
into a state of lethargy and complacency wherein we're laid
wide open and vulnerable to an attack.

The attack I'm talking about is not a "terrorist attack." It's an
attack on everything good we used to do that we're no longer
doing.

It's an attack of forgetfulness. Forgetting what makes people
win; what makes them great.

And what makes people great is really quite simple.

One, you have a goal; a vision for your life.

Two, you breathe life into this vision by thinking about it all
the time.

Three, you get off your ass and move toward your goal.

Four, you don't pout or whine when things get tough.
You expect to suffer and you willingly do so, if necessary,
to reach your target.

Five, you expect to make mistakes and you are glad when
you do because they're the feedback you need to reach
your goal.

Six, you great each day with gratitude and enthusiasm, even
when times are tough.

Seven, you end each day the same way.

Eight, when you've succeeded, you help pull others up the
ladder with you - not by doing everything for them, not by
praise when it's unmerited - but by getting them to do the
same things you did to get where you are.

Ask yourself, are you doing the above in your life. Are you
still hungry to make something great happen in your life.

Or are you content to plop yourself before the tee-vee or
computer screen and lose yourself in everyone else's
affairs.

Start moving your body each morning and you'll be amazed
at how everything else starts snapping into place.

miles often gets elected. It doesn't guarantee he'll be
worth a damn - but it does show that the masses follow
someone who's moving.

Eliminate Hand and Wrist Pain NOW

10 years ago next month I was in Minneapolis at
the NCAA wrestling championships.

All throughout the weekend my wrist hurt. And I
didn't know why.

I didn't fall on it. I didn't tweak it working out. It
just hurt - for no particular reason - and the pain
was driving me up a wall. Mostly because I had a
lot of writing to do and it hurt to do it.

While at the tournament I met an old wrestler who
showed me a simple exercise that strengthened
his grip considerably.

I did the exercise as I was taught and the very
same day the irritating ache went away.

The next day, however, the pain returned. So
I did the exercise again - and the same thing
happened. My pain went bye, bye.

The following day the pain came back once more -
and by now you can probably guess what I did.

That's right. I did the same simple exercise.

But in this instance the third time was a charm. The
pain went away for good.

As a result of this I began to look into other ways to
strengthen my hands and wrists - mostly to make
me a more effective martial artist. During my
annual trips to my vacation home in China I scoured
the country for the best exercises I could find. And
upon my return one summer, I began teaching a whole
system of exercises that hit every area of the hands and wrists -
and these exercises not only strengthened all the weak links
in the hands - they also strengthened the rest of your body -
including your mind.

What happened was truly remarkable. People who
slept in braces - or wore them during the workday -
were able to discard them for the first time in
months.

Other people who thought they needed surgery -
were able to forego it.

Quite remarkable, don't you think.

My friend, pain in the hands and wrists is a big, big
problem today - and grip training gadgets - for the most
part - aggravate it further.

In China I have researched and studied the best hand
exercises ever conceived - exercises from kung fu and
chi kung. And the vast majority of these incredibly powerful
exercises nothing other than your own hands and a soft, pliable
rubber device shaped like a donut - or a thin piece of string.

That's it.

Once again, just like animals in the wild, the key to strength
in your hands comes, primarily, from using your own body
weight.

Other than that, all you need are the proper exercises, (those
that open the meridians of the body) deep breathing and
concentration. The positive effect of doing the right exercises
with concentration and deep breathing is nothing less than
stunning.

I have personally trained with a master who can plow through
cement blocks with the inside of his finger. His fingers are so powerful
you'd think each digit to be a sword. Does he use expensive gadgets
to build this type of power. No.

He simply does the right type of exercises with concentration and
deep breathing.

More often than you realize, hand and wrist and elbow and
shoulder pain stems from a blockage in chi flow. The
meridians of the body are damned up with negative
stress - and this negative energy won't be released
via surgery or using a bunch of mechanical devices.

The key to releasing the trapped energy is, once again,
the right exercises, proper concentration and deep breathing.

You get all three of the above in my course for eliminating
hand, wrist, elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome pain.

Matt Furey

P.S. Even if you don't have carpal tunnel syndrome, you'll
find these exercises nuking your hand, wrist and elbow
pain like nothing else on the market.

Why Eli and the Giants Won

The Giants had the ball. Eli Manning was in position,
ready to take the first hand-off of the game.

I'd seen all I needed to see.

I called my brother, Sean.

"Patriots are in trouble. Did you see Manning's eyes."

"Sure did."

"This guy won't be beaten."

Sean agreed.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter I watched
Tom Brady walk off the field. Not the cool,
calm, collected Brady he normally is when he
has all day to set up his passes.

I called Sean again.

"Did you see Brady."

"I did."

"His cage is rattled, huh."

"Sure is."

"Whenever you see pouting and whining - you know
the tide has definitely turned - no matter what the
score. Another bad sign for the Patriots."

Minutes later Brady marched the Pats down the
field for the go-ahead score.

My son cheered wildly.

"Don't celebrate too early," I said. "The game isn't
over."

Eli put on his helmet and took the field. As he did so
you could feel his absolute belief and total conviction. He
would not be beaten.

And then the "miracle" pass.

Not the Immaculate Reception - but doggone close.

The game was just as well as over. In fact, it was
over before it started.

Forget the score. Forget who was in the lead for
what amount of time. Just watch the eyes of the
quarterbacks. Read the face. It'll tell you all you
need to know.

Despite winning three previous Super Bowls; despite
guiding the Patriots to an almost perfect season -
the fact is Brady didn't want to win as much as Eli
Manning and the Giants. He wasn't AS hungry.

So much of success is nothing more than
"staying hungry." It's all about DESIRE.

Who wants it the most.

Twas a painful lesson I learned, more than once,
as a competitive wrestler.

Today, as a success coach, I can tell who is ready for
success and who isn't.

Some are ready when the game begins - but
after things get a little rough and "the game"
isn't as easy as you'd hoped - if you take the
person's "vision pulse" - you may find it has
dimmed significantly.

I see this all the time.

I see it in the eyes and on the face. And what I see
BEGINS in the other person's mind.

Wanting to win is a feeling that vibrates from
every cell in your brain and body. Even if
you say you want to win - whenever you lose
you can point to the other guy and say, "Well,
he must have wanted to win MORE."

That was the story last night. And it's the story
every day of our lives.

Winning isn't about physical strength. It isn't
about who has the strongest hands, arms,
legs, neck or abs - although physical strength
most certainly help.

It isn't about who is fastest or most skilled, either -
even those these qualities also help.

It's about WHO wants it most. It's about who
has the strongest MENTAL MUSCLES.

Your mind is and always will be the most important
muscle on and off the field.

Those who have played the game at the highest
levels and have emerged victorious understand
this. Those who have merely played - don't.

In short, Eli Manning played his TRUMP CARD
yesterday.

As someone who has won several national titles
and a world championship, I know what it's like
to play your TRUMP. I also know how to play it
in any endeavor you're involved in.

Do you.

If not, I strongly suggest you click the following
link below and order your copy of The TRUMP CARD.

I've already sold out the first two editions of this
special report - and am now giving the third edition
away to the next 199 to raise their hands and say,
"Hell YEAH. I want to WIN more than the other guy."

Go to http://mattfurey.com/trump_card.html and
place your order NOW.

Matt Furey

P.S. Did you notice the color change in Bill Belichick's
clothing. And Tom Brady's shorter than usual haircut.
Did they jinx themselves - or is this mere superstition.
Better yet - did they have a success ritual that they
ignored when it really counted. Hmm. Better get your
TRUMP CARD and find out - http://mattfurey.com/trump_card.html

Five Second Abs for Breakfast

One of the great things about Combat Abs is that
the main exercise, The Farmer Burns Stomach
Flattener, which is frequently done before breakfast,
doesn't take much time. Just 10 repetitions or so -
and the rigorous part of the exercise lasts only
2-5 seconds.

Always remember to follow the instructions in the book -
http://www.mattfurey.com/combat_abs.html

There are two other times when doing The Farmer
Burns Stomach Flattener (for info on the Farmer
Burns course on physical culture and wrestling go to
http://www.mattfurey.com/farmerburns.html )
- is appropriate (actually there are many).

The first is whilst sitting at a stop light.

Here in Tampa, you can easily hammer out five to
ten quick 5-second reps at a red light.

The other perfect time is when flying the friendly
skies. Once you've been in the air a couple hours
and want to wake up - and tone up - take your deep
breath and get flexing.

Each day look in the mirror and 'behold the difference.'
It truly is remarkable.

Kick butt - take names,

No More Monkeys

Next time you feel like you're being assaulted
with "things to do" - take a moment to consider
the following:

a. You'll get more done faster if you focus on one
thing at a time.

Picture the surgeon. He performs one operation
after another, all day long. He doesn't think about
the NEXT surgery while doing the first. If he does
he'll botch the job he's on.

b. When you feel pressure to get "everything" done -
take a moment to focus on the area between your
neck and shoulder blades - your "traps." This is
where a lot of tension is stored.

Let's take the time to release it.

You've probably heard people talking about needing
to get the "monkeys off their back."

Well, you get them off your back by focusing on
one thing at a time - and anytime you feel pressure
rising, you catch yourself, take a deep breath and
focus on your upper neck and back.

Feel any monkeys.

If so, change your mental picture. Take them off.

I assure you the monkeys are slowing you down.

They are NOT helping you move faster. They are not
helping you get things done.

The best way to get things done is to make a list
of what you have to do before you begin. Then
take a few moments to breathe deeply and relax.
See yourself getting the first thing done. Then
the next.

See yourself doing all these things without pressure,
without tension - without a single monkey.

Once you've accomplished the first thing on your list,
then "clear the computer screen."

Let your mind go blank. Compartmentalize.

Now see the next thing being accomplished. Center
and focus. Then hop to it and do it.

True, you might think juggling three things at once is the
key to getting things done.

You might think that feeling overwhelmed, slammed,
swamped and beaten bloody are better ways to ponder
your daily "to do list."

I don't think so.

Take a moment to visualize all the stress monkeys on
your back. Then see all of them going away. See yourself
totally focused and totally relaxed - in the flow.

I challenge you to do this.

Stop scratching your head. Relax, smile, breathe and
focus.

Do this for the next thing on your list today. Then on
the next. And so on. See how many things you can
knock out in a spirit of calm and relaxation.

I'm betting you'll be surprised.
