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.

America, the Obese-iful

I love America. And I love American people.

I do have to admit, however, it's getting harder
and harder to wrap your arms around this
country and its people.

We used to call people fat. Now we use the
word 'obese." Very soon the word obese will
need replacing with something else that
describes us better.

The basic issue underlying all the fatness
is bad thinking followed by bad habits.

It begins with a lack of pride and a lack of
self-respect.

Instead of having a desire to be better today
than you were yesterday - people think they're
doomed to be worse tomorrow than they are today.

That's wrong thinking.

That's believing in death and disease more than life
and good health.

To counter the way of fatness and self-pity, begin
with your thinking. Begin imagining yourself to be
better than you are right now. Say to yourself, "Today,
I'm going to give it everything I've got. I'm going to do
my best."

Then, instead of lazing on the couch - you make an
appointment with yourself to exercise each day.

You do something each and every day to challenge yourself.

In doing so you improve yourself in ALL areas of your life. When
your body is in better condition, you think faster, you get more done,
you're happier, healthier - and no, I'm not kidding, wealthier.

Some time ago, after doing the Royal Court, as shown in my
international best-seller, Combat Conditioning (to order go
to http://mattfurey.com/conditioning_book.html } I went out-
side to jump some rope. I hadn't jumped in quite a while so
I set a modest goal of 1,000 jumps - using a rope I call -
"the green monster" - which is much heavier than the
standard ropes.

Now, 1,000 jumps with this rope is no easy task. It blitzes
your entire body - including your grip, forearms, shoulders
and so on.

When I got to 200 jumps the thought of quitting entered my
mind. But I knew I had more in me, so after a break, I continued.
I kept pushing myself until I finished all 1,000 jumps. I looked
at my stop watch. 15:34.

The next evening I went outdoors and did the same workout. I
cranked out 200, then took a quick rest. Then did 100. Another
quick rest. 50 more. And so on.

I pushed myself to do better than I did the day before. And when
I knocked out the 1,000th repetition, the stop watch read: 12:05.

Today, beating either of these numbers is easy.

Now, in case you think I'm impressed with this, I'm not. My focus
is on giving my workout everything I've got. Somedays I may not
be able to jump as fast as others. Or I may be much faster. The
real issue is how hard did I try in each workout. My focus is on
THIS WORKOUT - to-DAY.

Many people set goals that are "result driven." This means they want
to get to a certain weight - or be able to do a selected number of
pushups or pull-ups.

It's good to have result goals. But it's also good to have "being" goals.

The focus is on WHO you are going to BE when you train - not on what
you are going to get. Your mind is on the journey - not the destination.

Afterall, if the journey is more important than the "end" - then why so
much focus on the end.

Why not have the beginning and end of your journey be the same. The
circle that meets - no beginning - no end.

Focus your mind on the journey - on being totally in the moment in
this workout.

Give it everything you've got. And watch the results stack higher than
ever before.

others that are fabulous - go to http://lifelineusa.com - tell 'em the

What We're Teaching Kids Today

The other day, John, a member of my Psycho-Cyb
coaching program, sent me the following note:

Matt,
My 9 year old grandson has been having some trouble
in school over the last few months. My wife and daughter
were offering the usual threats/incentives. I took a different
tack. I told him that every morning when he gets out of bed
to imagine he is holding a HUGE report card that fills the room
and that there are A's and B's on it.

Also, that there's all sorts of people who want to high five
him for the good grades. And to jump around the room
high fiving all those people. You should see the smile
on his face as he thinks about it.

Friday, I go over to his house to pick him up for the
weekend and right away he pulls me over to show
me his work book for the week. He says "Papa, I've
been magining."

And the papers he showed me ALL SHOW IMPROVEMENT.

Matt, I love this little boy more than I've loved anyone
in the whole world. There's no words that allow me to
thank you enough for teaching me how to help him.

John

MJF: John, the pleasure is all mine. What we teach young
children is incredibly important. And as you've said, it
all starts in the 'magination.

Let me tell you a similar story with my son, Frank.

On Saturday Frank was getting ready for his
final soccer game of the year. It's his first year in this
sport while many of the other kids in the league are
already in their third and fourth season. So Frank has
had a lot of catching up to do.

Before Saturday's game, for the entire season, Frank
had only scored three goals. I told Frank that this number
was nothing to be ashamed of. Most important was that
he try his hardest; that he put forth his best effort, win or
lose, every time he plays.

Then I told him that the three goals he'd made were successful
experiences he could draw energy from and re-create,
over and over.

He asked how, so I guided him through a very quick
visualization, reliving the three goals he made. Then
I told him to imagine scoring one goal after another.

He did this for five minutes or so.

That was it.

Well, guess what happened in the game. Frank scored
a goal.

But not just one goal.

And not just two.

He scored THREE goals in the same game.

Young children's minds are wide open to the power of
suggestion. When you teach them how to imagine, how
to visualize, the results can come FAR, FAR FASTER than
adults who are skeptical and filled with doubt and fear.

Reminds me of the Bible passage on how we must become
like little children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

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

Matt Furey

Hey, I Made a Mistake

One of the things that separates what I teach and what
Dr. Maltz taught about "mind power" is the importance
of making mistakes.

If you read the words of so many of today's "thinkers" on
subjects like the Law of Attraction - you'll find that there
is rarely any talk about mistakes or failure.

People then develop the notion that if they're making mistakes
or failing - that they're "attracting" it. In some cases this is most
definitely true.

But you've got to look at the bigger picture to see the bigger
truth.

Mistakes are HOW we learn everything we know. From learning
to crawl, walk, run, talk and feed ourselves. We make mistakes
and correct course until the only thing your brain remembers
is the "right" way to do something.

You learned to write by making mistakes.

You learn to become a great athlete the same way.

Getting back to the metaphor Dr. Maltz so ably used - missile
technology - a torpedo is "off target" most of the time on the
way to its pre-programmed destination.

So are you and that's the way it's supposed to be. That's the
way you succeed.

And so, if you're afraid of making mistakes - if you keep yourself
from doing because you're worried you may do the wrong thing -
then take comfort in the words of Elbert Hubbard, who said:

"The greatest mistake a man can make is to be afraid of making
one."

Oh, how true.

This does not mean that you deliberately make mistakes. You'll make
plenty without trying to do so. But when you make a mistake, instead
of whining or pouting about it, make a note and determine how to
correct course. Most importantly, keep moving.

On top of the above, rejoice when you make a mistake. You're now
one or more steps closer to your goal.

P.S. All TRUMP CARDS are being mailed this weekend. My apologies
for the delay. The first rendition of this special report was 4400
words. When I received it from Vinnie, the guy who laid it out for
me, I read it and declared it "not good enough yet." There was so
much more I wanted to say. This, to me, was a mistake. I gladly
got back to the piece and when I made the final period, it was
7990 words. Almost double. The result of me catching my mistake
brought forth something a whole lot better. Hope you feel the
same way - http://psycho-cyb.com/trump_card.html

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.

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.

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.

Order now by going to http://carpaltunnelfix.com

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.
