Matt Furey Wants YOU to Read His Uncensored Opinions |
|
|
Later today I'll be traveling to a hotel for three days of coaching.
I don't have to travel far. Just a 40-minute drive across town.
But to eliminate the back-and-forth, I stay overnight at the hotel.
Packed inside my suitcase is something I use in my room to stay 'lean and mean.'
It's called the Power Wheel. Many of you have recently written me to say you received yours - that it kicks butt - and to thank me for the recommendation.
You're very welcome.
And pleased to hear about your progress with the Power Wheel and know you'll continue to improve. And that's why I'm recommending it again today.
Whether you're at home or traveling - make sure you have a Power Wheel at your side so you can roll off the pounds and be Super Fit.
Matt Furey
P.S. The other day a guy wrote me to say there was no way to increase resistance while doing pushups - and this made the bench press an absolute must for upper body strength. Wait til you hear my answer to this one - coming at you next week. If not sooner.
Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Let me tell you about a letter from a friend who uses an easy-to-learn process to zip through reading at a mind-boggling 25,000 words a minute.
At that rate you can read a success book in just a few minutes. Can you imagine what this ability to absorb information can do for your business AND personal success?
You have got to read how he does it, especially if you want to:
* read much faster than you can now
* increase your productivity -- which means Make More Money
* gain a significant competitive advantage in your business
* propel yourself to new levels of personal performance
* improve your memory and sharpen concentration
* enhance your intuition (using this system, you use your brain in a way that stimulates intuition)
* create more time in your day
* catapult yourself into a bright future
* get through information at least three times faster than you can right now!
...then use the link below to download this letter and an informative booklet.
The booklet contains:
* a description of how the program works, and why it should work for you,
* how this is not speed reading, and why it is better,
* a scientific "picture" of what actually goes on in your brain at the super-high speeds,
* thoughts from a university professor who marvels at the process, and
* page after page of mind-blowing testimonials from everyday people and experts such as Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, Harvey Mackay, and Ken Blanchard. These are very inspirational and will get you wondering about the amazing things you can accomplish.
I've done it myself, and I have to attest, it is what what my friend says it is. Enjoy.
(If you have any problems downloading the booklet, email Webmaster@LearningStrategies.com for assistance.)
Sincerely,
Matt Furey
P.S. I first found out about this program eight years ago and it changed my career. And most of the top guns I've met have this course, too. If you want to move to the next level - reading faster and comprehending more is one of the biggest keys to doing so.
Today the Zen Master is going to answer some questions, rattle a lot of cages, give a few slaps and whacks - and smile like a deeply breathing Cheshire cat the entire time. Take a look below and you will see what I mean:
Hey Matt,
I tried the Power Wheel and it's no joke. I thought my stomach muscles were OK but my core is weak. I couldn't do that movement that makes you look like a bent banana and I always max my situps on the PT test so what do I need to do to pull myself out of this delima.
A.B.
ZM: Glad you got the Power Wheel and are feeling how great a tool it is. Now, in response to your question, I must say I love your spelling for the word dilemma as well as the way you're using it out of context. What do I mean? I mean that you are not facing a dilemma - you are simply confronted with a better way to train your core. Stop doing the dumb stuff that everyone else does and do what works. And start doing that which you really FEEL more often. Getting to the next level requires nothing more than the willingness to practice each day - or several days a week - as well as the willingness to SEE YOURSELF the way you want to look before, during and after you train.
Good Morning Mr. Matt,
A while back my husband ordered Combat Conditioning and placed it in on the counter. I just HAD to know what this was all about. Started browsing through it, was blown away by your techniques. Stated to him that there is NO WAY a guy could do this, especially the Bridge.
Wrong!
As I have tried it myself, I am amazed at your DVDs, where I have seen YOU fall into a bridge with no spotter, no help, no hands, yet such CONTROL.
I am truly amazed therefore, I keep on trying to do this every day, as I hold on to the door jam and let my hands walk down backwards.
Sounds crazy, yet works for me.
Am working on the husband to try this also, as he is much bigger than I and there is no way I could support him etc.
Yet, I do have to know this one question, Did you get your ideas from the Potato Sisters - as they display the Furey Technique with complete control.
Love your work and your emails.
Warmly,
K.M.
ZM: K.M., thanks for the words of awe about my unreal skills - hu hum - cough, cough. I admire your desire to follow what I'm doing, but you really do want a good spotter. Perhaps some day you and el hubbo will come for a private session and I can get both of you doing things you once thought impossible. Another way is to find a local gymnastics instructor who can assist you.
Matt,
You may be interested to know that it is now established that bench presses are injury prone because the bench underneath your shoulder splints your shoulder blade and stops it from moving physiologically with your effort.
As a result the rotator cuff unit remains in a position where it is more likely to get impinged and damaged. If you must do bench presses, then find a very narrow bench which has the width the same size as your vertebrae, which will improve your balance as well as allowing your shoulder blades to move freely. As for me, I swear by your "Hindu pushups."
Thanks for you mails. I always enjoy your mix of advice and philosophy.
Best Wishes,
Alistair
ZM: Alistair, thanks for the enlightening email. When a person gets the urge to use the bench press, the best thing for him to do is go take a nap and get back up when the urge passes. Even if you can get a bench that is more suitable for injury-free bench pressing, why bother. It's a rum dumb exercise.
When you do pushups, how often do you need to find the right surface beneath your hands in order to keep from hurting yourself. Unless you have a fetish for training where there's broken glass, the answer is NEVER.
You can get more real world functional strength pushing against the ground, your own body - or a tree than you ever will against a barbell.
All for now.
Matt Furey
P.S. How much of your mind is connected to your body? Make sure you strengthen the most important link in the chain by subscribing to my tips at psycho-cyb.com.
Hi Matt,
I'm not in a situation where I need to lose weight. I'm actually quite fit I try and train Tai chi for 90
minutes/day. but I would like to eventually have a six pack.. is Combat Abs for me?
Mark
MJF: Hi Mark. Yes, I think you can benefit from Combat Abs in a big way - and I would also recommend the Power Wheel - which is pure dynamite.
Matt,
Hindu Push ups, bridging, and especially the Hindu Squats work exceptionally well just as you said. Today at work, I had to put a fire all the way out in the parking lot. As soon as I heard the news, I called in central security, grabbed the nearest fire extinguisher, and ran about 400 yards with a large, heavy ABC fire extinguisher.
Now, before I ran, I expected isolated muscles to burn more and not really be in sync with each other. Instead, I felt everything working together on the same level, nothing was weaker than the other. I made it there before security in their vehicle and I extinguished the fire myself. I wasnt even fatigued neither. WOW.
I was put to the test and did it in a fast amount of time. I have been working on the Royal Court for almost a year now, and i do 70 Hindu Squats currently.
I love it. Matt, without you, I would be in worrysome shape.
Thank You.
Larry
MJF: Awesome, Larry. You're a life saver and a great example to others. Keep it flowing.
Matt, my name is Jim and I'm 47 years old and have been in the construction industry for well over 26 years and for most of that time doing suspended ceiling work that is of course primarily overhead work that involves a lot of repetitive wrist work.
I was diagnosed with carpel tunnel syndrome well over 15 years ago and just wore a wrist brace or hung my arm off of the side of the bed to relieve the pain so I could get some sleep.
Also in that time frame I took up archery as a competitor and a hunter. In the last four years my shoulders began to hurt so bad that the CTS seemed to be a thing of the past as well as my competitive shooting. I had tried a new mattress, chiropractic help, Cortisone shots, and massage therapy to little avail.
I remembered that sometime ago I had ordered your DVD How to Eliminate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in 30 Days as well as a DVD for shoulder rehab. WOW. What a difference it has made.
I'm still early in my rehab (2 weeks) and the flexibility is doing so much better that I just had to write you. Granted I'm not ready to throw a baseball with any muster on it yet but I can sleep without waking all through the night in pain and am looking forward to dusting off my bows and familiarizing myself again with my Zen Archery techniques and breathing.
For a person of my age that would like to keep some of the flexibility of our lower back and legs (I can feel the loss and lower back and gluteus strains that go down the hamstring) what routine of exercises would you recommend?
Thank you,
Jim
MJF: Jim, glad to know your Carpal Tunnel and shoulder pain is going away. If you're feeling this good in two weeks - then you are right on schedule to be pain free.
As for your tight hamstrings and lower back, I could recommend Combat Stretching - but I think because you're into archery and such - which have a highly meditative quality - that you'll benefit more, physically as well as mentally - from the Dao Zou program. Go check out the video on this page and see if it's for you.
All for now.
Have a brilliant day.
Matt Furey
When someone is resistant to a new idea, one of the things he will do to stall, procrastinate and delay is ask the question 'why.'
I know this tactic very well .. and so does my wife.
We went through the 'why' stage when we were learning each other's language.
When I was learning Chinese, instead of simply absorbing the material like a child would, I wanted to know 'why.'
Why does the person's name have to come first, followed by the time, followed by the verb, and so on.
'Wo mingtian chi fan tai duo.' Translated literally, I yesterday eat too much.
I'd much rather say it my way, 'Wo chi fan tai duo mingtian.' I ate too much yesterday.
Zhannie went through the same, only in reverse. 'Why do I have to put an 's' on the end of some nouns but not on others? Why not just put the number before the noun so we know how many of something? Isn't saying five car the same as saying five car(s)?'
When you think about it, we don't need the doggone 's' at the end to understand. But we insist on it in English. Why. Who the hell cares. Just the way it BE (yes, twas an intentional Furey mistake). We accept it and move on.
Whenever something is NEW, many people literally demand to know 'why, why, why.' Yet, deep down, they really don't want to change.
Here are some examples sent to me by email: Why are bodyweight exercises better than weights. Why does excess fat on your waistline disappear with Combat Abs. Why does back pain go away with bridging. Why does your metabolism crank up the heat so much more when you train this way instead of with weights or aerobics.
Why are pushups safer for shoulders than the bench press. Aren't they really the same thing.
And so on.
Often, trying to explain 'why' is futile because the person asking 'why' doesn't really want to know the answer. He simply wants to argue and hold onto a current belief.
And so, the only real way for someone to be convinced of the validity of Combat Conditioning or Combat Abs to get the programs, use them and discover the truth for yourself.
Even though that is the real truth, I'd like to give you a few reasons why the exercises work so well and so fast anyway - so here goes:
5 Reasons Why Bodyweight Exercises Work Like Magic:
1. When you do Hindu squats and Hindu pushups, or variations of them, you are working major muscle groups. Most people who train with weights do isolation exercises. The person who works major muscle groups beats the isolation exercise dodo 16 ways from Sunday.
2. Because bodyweight exercises are 'natural' movements that require deeper self-concentration, neurological connections are stronger than they are when your focus is on something other than yourself, i.e. 'weights.'
3. Bodyweight exercises allow you to train your body from virtually any angle or position. The same cannot be said of weights, especially all those ridiculous machines.
4. Bodyweight exercises simultaneously increase strength, endurance and flexibility. Hindu pushups and bridging are a textbook perfect example of this.
5. Bodyweight exercises attack the muscle at a deeper level than weights, thereby giving you greater 'functional strength.' The person who does a set of pullups, for example, works the muscles of the back and arms far more than the person doing a lat pulldown on a machine.
There are more reasons 'why' - but again, none of these reasons mean a doggone thing if a person is resistant to the idea.
It is not my job to pound through the mental and emotional debris that stops someone from making the decision to go ahead. All I can do is present my point of view and move on.
On second thought, tis probably a good idea to end today's message with a hearty 'thank you' to all the Furey Faithful, who now occupy some 139 countries - we just added 'Ghana' to the list - and have been kicking butt and taking names with my superior programs.
You are the BEST,
Matt Furey
Here's a great question from a youngin:
Hey, Matt,
im 14 years old and am sort of "self-training" myself for MMA. Im starting at a real gym in october. But as im sure you know, you need long arms and legs for fighting so my qestion is does hindu pushups squats and bridges stunt your growth? I work out three hours a day so this is a big issue for me.
Thanks,
Cody
MJF: Cody, first of all, where on earth did you hear that you need long arms and legs for fighting? That's absolutely not true. Long limbs can help - and they can hinder. Some of the
greatest fighters of all times had short, stocky builds.
Now, your question. No, Hindu pushups, Hindu squats and the other body weight exercises in Combat Condiitioning will not stunt your growth. They will, however, simultaneously give you strength, endurance and flexibility.
In addition to the three hours you say you're training each day, make sure you balance it with a good chunk of reading.
Matt Furey
P.S. Have you gotten your Power Wheel yet? If not, be sure to watch this.
One of the whispered secrets of strength and power is learning to move like a snake; in circular s-like fashion, from head to toe.
It's the most natural way for everything in the Universe to move because nothing truly moves in a straight line. Everything zigs and zags. Yet, as humans we do everything but move in the most basic and powerful way.
Exercising like a snake requires that you stop focusing on nothing but push and pull. You learn to gather power with 'S' movements and coiling movements - then, like a pit viper, strike with explosiveness.
Knowing how to move this way will strengthenand stretch your entire body and give your core the ultimate workout. People will be totally in awe of how much energy and force you generate when it doesn't look like you're doing all that much.
I have an all-new program coming out very soon about these coiling movements - and last weekend I presented bits and pieces of it at my two seminars.
To say attendees were shocked would be an understatement.
Look for this program soon.
Matt Furey
P.S. By the way, Hindu Pushups, as shown in Combat Conditioning
are one way of doing a S-like movement. Begin doing this exercise now and you'll know the benefits go on and on.
Today's message will be brief. Why? Because I have a couple seminars this weekend.
The first is tonight. It's a Dynamic Power event that I may be releasing in the near future on CD.
The second one is tomorrow - all day. It's the first Catch Wrestling seminar I've given since 2002 - so I'm really excited to show what I've whipped up in the last seven years.
A couple more things:
If you're not subscribed to my self-development tips at www.psycho-cyb.com - you're really missing out. Especially now, when I'm covering ground that can really get people stirred up.
Also, sales for the Power Wheel have exceeded all expectations after I put the video up at so make sure you grab one before they're out of stock.
All for now.
Have a kick-butt weekend.
Matt Furey
What you do in the first few minutes of your day sets the tone for the rest of it. Tis a fact.
This is why it is important to begin your day with thoughts of happiness, success, great health and prosperity.
As soon as your feet hit the deck, you want to be launched into the realm of success - the 'get something done today' realm.
No more putting off til tomorrow what you can and should do today. No more dilly-dallying.
One of the key ways to help set you on this course is to always have a daily goal - especially a daily fitness goal. And if you achieve that goal first thing in the morning, the rest of the day is going to be awesome.
Yesterday when my son Frank and I arose from slumber, I asked him how many pushups he wanted to do. He chose the number - I counted. Then I asked him how many Hindu squats. Again, he chose the number and I counted. We did the same for situps.
Then I went to work on some Hindu pushups and other stretches. I not only stretch my body - but my mind, too.
The Hindu pushup is a bit like a cat stretch - as well as a dog stretch. I'm not a big tee-vee watcher, but contrary to what some think, there are some good stations. Animal Planet is one of them.
I love that show.
Last night I watched the special they had on wild cats. Everything from lions to tigers to cheetahs to leopards to mountain lions and a lynx.
Watched a mountain lion nab a deer, drag it throw the forest, latch onto to its neck and PULL it up a tree to hand over a branch (for safekeeping). Now, let me tell you, that's some major league strength.
So watch how these wild - as well as domesticated cats (and dogs) stretch. They stretch backward hundreds of times per day. And they do it as soon as they wake up.
You, my friend, would be well advised to do likewise.
Doing so will not only increase you strength and flexibility - but it will ENERGIZE you for hours.
I'm betting you'd like some of that good old fashioned ENERGY. Well, get it the old fashioned way. Move your body the way it wants to be moved. Stretch like a cat and you'll know why cats stretch the way they do.
By the way, you can learn all about this form of exercise in my Combat Conditioning book and DVDs. Go gobble them up NOW by sprinting over here.
Matt Furey
Last week I told you how the Power Wheel was far more than a tool for advanced muscle heads.
It's a tool that can help the total beginner make progress really, really fast.
Below is a short video clip to prove it to you. Watch me work with a 50-year old lady in my private workout studio.
Read more about The Power Wheel.
Matt Furey
P.S. This clip is taken from an all-new DVD, Coil and Strike, that I'll be releasing soon.
After watching a former Fruit of the Loom guy dance around in spandex a few times back in the 1980's, I learned to cringe every time I heard the word "aerobics."
And the flawed science behind aerobics made me cringe even further.
Despite popular belief, this type of low-intensity long-duration exercise can actually wreck your body. Do enough, and it will make you sick, old and tired before your time.
You'll find out why in a minute, but first, let me tell you about supra-aerobics - a completely different animal.
I think of it like a car. Traditional aerobics turn your body into a small car with a small engine. It's fuel-efficient, but God help you if you need to quickly get out of the way of an oncoming truck. You just don't have the power.
Supra-aerobics, on the other hand, gives your heart and lungs a turbo boost that can get you out of any jam.
A high output, supra-aerobic workout builds up reserve capacity in your heart, expands your lung volume and melts away fat so fast your friends will be shocked when they see the change in you.
My good friend, Dr. Al Sears, has the ultimate program to get you into the supra-aerobic zone every time you work out. Click this link to discover more ...
Matt Furey
P.S. I spoke with Dr. Al at a conference a couple years ago, and he is solid rock. His program works wonders - and that's why I'm standing behind it.
Several times per week, after a good evening meal, I go for a long walk.
It's nice to walk at night, especially when the sun is going down.
During a recent walk with my wife, she reminded me of the Chinese saying:
'Fan hou san bu huo yi bai.'
This means: If you walk after dinner, you can live to be 100.
Zhannie's mother overheard us talking and quickly gave another Chinese saying on the same topic. This one means almost the same thing - but has some poetry to it.
Goes like this: 'Fan hou bai bu zou - huo dao jiu shi jiu.'
Translation: After dinner walk 100 steps and you will live 99 years.'
Great wisdom in these sayings, my friend.
Go for an evening walk, after dinner, and you'll sleep better, feel better and live longer.
And if you really want to increase the odds in your favor, pick up a copy of the Chinese Long-Life System.
With this program you'll learn how daily massage of three pressure points can help you live a long, long time in perfect health.
Best,
Matt Furey
Today I'm going to cover a few questions from readers of this daily email/blog. Here goes:
Matt,
I got the Power Wheel per your recommendation and it is awesome. Just want to know if I should use it every day or a few times per week. Thanks much.
Jeremy
MJF: Jeremy, glad you got your Power Wheel and are liking it. In the beginning, depending upon soreness, 2-3 times per week is sufficient. Once you're over the soreness 2-3 times per week is still good. But if you do something five days a week, Monday-Friday, I think you'll be amazed with the difference. I wouldn't do a full workout with it each day - just one exercise each day - like the basic rollout from the knees. Do 15-25 reps and you'll notice the difference. This one exercise will take no more than a couple minutes - and the benefits are major.
Matt,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've suffered from seasonal allergies for years and now, thanks to your advice in the Furey Faithful newsletter, I have no more sniffling or sneezing. Before it was out of control. Now I just eat the foods you said to eat and it's a miracle. I've passed the word on to several co-workers who've been taking medicine for years, with no results, and they're no longer going to the doctor for help with this. They're sniffle free as well. Again, a million thanks.
John
MJF: John, messages like yours make my week. Make sure you tell your co-workers to join the Furey Faithful as well, so they get all the benefits you do.
Matt,
I'm currently six months pregnant. Do you advice the Power Wheel or the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener for me right now
Britney
MJF: Britney, I advise you to ask your physician on this one.
Matt,
Thanks to you I'm now in the best shape of my life. I had your Combat Conditioning book on my shelf for almost a year. I finally took it off in January and began following your routines. Now I'm feeling like I did when I was 20 (I'm 48 now). My clothes are all falling off me. My wife says that's a good thing. Needless to say our love life is much improved. So not only do I thank you, my wife does too.
Jacob
MJF: Jacob, get your wife to do the same routine with you and your workouts may move to an even higher level of intimacy.
That's all for now,
Matt Furey
(Note: We only have room for 198 more people on this)
Let me tell you about a special report I put together that contains a diet secret that is guaranteed to blow torch fat off your body faster than anything I have ever told you about before.
In fact, the greatness of this secret is that you really DO get to eat MORE than you are currently eating.
What's more - I am only asking you to make ONE change in your eating habits. Just ONE. Not a complete
overhaul.
And if you listen to what I am going to reveal - and 'do the thing' I'm recommending, you are going to be absolutely stunned when you look in the mirror each day.
Old clothes that you haven't been able to wear in years will suddenly slide onto your body like they once did.
People on the street are going to approach and ask what you're doing to have dropped so much weight. Double-takes will be the order of the day.
Now, if you're uncomfortable with dropping all the excess flabbage, if you'd rather not be bothered by people complimenting you, then - hey, no argument from me.
Maybe you're not motivated by an improved appearance. Maybe you'd rather have me scare the hell out of you, telling you that failure to follow my suggestions may result in a heart attack, or cancer - or some such disease.
But I won't do that because I cannot prove such assertions. However, I can tell you that those who follow my suggestion, this ONE suggestion, will greatly reduce the chances of heart attack, stroke, cancer and so on. I'm talking about a DRAMATIC reduction in your chances for any of the above.
So make sure you enroll as a member of the Furey Faithful right now so you get this secret immediately.
At present we can only accept another 198 new members. So make sure you're one of them. Enroll NOW.
Matt Furey
P.S. As a member of the Furey Faithful you'll also be getting valuable coaching on exercise, nutrition, injury avoidance, dealing with chronic pain, confidence and so on. On this member's site you'll find audio, video and many other special reports that cover your every fitness need. Go here and enroll NOW.
Yesterday I sent you information about one of greatest fitness inventions ever.
Many of you visited the website and felt that the product was TOO hard-core for your needs.
This is understandable because some of the clips on the site are of people who have obviously NOT spent the last two decades on the sofa - or plopped before a computer screen.
Today I thought I could serve you better by directing you to a page that explains the benefits without all the bravado and machismo.
Just the facts. The across-the board facts.
Go here and read the numerous accounts about the wide variety of people this product helps.
Matt Furey
P.S. I even have my 8-year old and 4-year old using the Power Wheel. That oughta say it all.
You have three secret pressure points on your body - and many of the longest-lived Chinese believe that if you massage these three points each day, you can have 100 years of perfect health.
Living to 100 in perfect health is a far better thing to imagine and aim for than living 70 or 80 years of pain, struggle and strife, don't you think? It's a far better idea than becoming one out of three who will die from cancer.
Check out what this life-enhancing program will do for you.
Matt Furey
I was sitting in a coffee house a few years back, talking to a successful entrepreneur.
He'd ordered himself a large coffee with a couple shots of espresso.
'Man, you must be made of steel,' I remarked.
'Gotta have this in the morning to start my engine,' he replied. 'The ole heart doesn't work without this stuff.'
At the time I thought what he said was pretty funny - and in fact, still do.
But there is a better way to start your engine each day - and it doesn't cost a dime. All you do is take in a few gulps of fresh air, hold it for a spell - then 'spit out' the stale, dingy air that's taking up space in your lungs.
Then you do what cats and dogs do. You put your palms on the floor and stretch backward. In yoga they call this downward dog.
Now, I'm not a yoga teacher - but I can tell you this - yoga came from wrestling. This is a well established fact - you can verify for yourself in books like, The Yoga Tradition of the Mysore Palace. Not only that, if you pick up a book on Iyengar Yoga - you'll see the man who founded this style doing - bridging. Back bridge, front bridge, kickovers, and so on. All of them are commonly practiced in wrestling.
This is not to put down yoga. I think it offers a great deal of help to many people. But the truth is that a lot of what is being taught about it in the U.S. is pretty lame.
About a year ago I was talking to a yoga teacher who really admires my book and DVDs on Combat Conditioning.
He told me how much he liked it. I said, 'Thank you.'
Then he said, 'Yes, all of those exercises come from yoga.'
The thought of throwing him down and breaking something on him crossed my mind - but I restrained myself and did my Zen Master breathing exercises instead. It's a good thing I did so because I learned a couple really good things from him. And I wouldn't have learned anything at all if I got embroiled in a
spat over a historical issue. Bottom line for me is this: Even if wrestling came first - who cares.
When I'm at my vacation home in China throughout the year, I learn everything I can. I'm a virtual sponge for new information on health, fitness, longevity - and so on. I keep an open mind. Pretending to be a know-it-all might be a 'good story' in your own mind - but it keeps you from growing; from becoming MORE than you currently are.
For many people, allowing new information into their minds is a frightening proposition. They want to appear as if they have the whole world and everything in it figured out. But that's ignorant.
Let your guard down a bit. Let something new into your mind and I'm betting you'll be much better for having done so.
Matt Furey
Those who use this device are amazed at how quickly the excess flab seems to melt off your body.
It's almost as if each repetition rolls fat off your body.
What's the device.
It's called the Power Wheel.
I believe it is one of the greatest fitness tools ever created.
I've been recommending the Power Wheel since 2001 - and there's no end in sight.
The Power Wheel isn't one of those ab devices you see on tee-vee today that disappears a few months later.
The Power Wheel is here to stay - forever - because it never stops working - EVER.
Use it and watch the excess pounds blow away like water off a leaping dolphin's back. Check it out NOW
Matt Furey
P.S. My wife used the Power Wheel to roll of 25 pounds after giving birth. It works - and FAST. And she's not alone. If you use the Power Wheel - you WILL get incredible results.
Remember when you were a kid and whenever you needed a drink of water you turned on the faucet.
Remember when you didn't need to lug a gallon of water with you everywhere you went out of fear of dying from dehydration.
Well, it may be time to revisit those days - or something similar.
Why? Because most of the bottled water being sold to us at steep prices is unsafe.
For years we've been told that water from the tap is bad - and water that you pay for from the bottle is good.
Well, surprise surprise.
A recent study at the University of Iowa, looked into the contents of ten top brands of drinking water.
And guess what they found?
Here's a direct quote:
"Researchers found 38 impurities in the 10 brands of bottled water they analysed. This included disinfection byproducts, fertilizer residue, traces of pain medication, solvents, chemicals used in the plastics industry, bacteria, and radioactive strontium. Across the 10 brands, the researchers found an average of 8 pollutants in each." (Source.)
And the above is only ONE study.
What do I suggest? I suggest you use a water purifier. Connect it to your tap and filter your own water. Not only will this save you a fortune, but the water you're drinking will be pure and free of plasticizers, fertilizers, flouride and pharmaceuticals.

When it comes to the exercise called bridging, you'll find it to be an art, a science and one helluva workout.
There are many variations of the bridge - and the one I'm most famous for teaching is the"wrestler's bridge" - sometimes erroneously referred to as a "neck bridge." Calling this wonderful total body exercise a "neck bridge" makes about as much sense as calling pushups "wrist benders."
When you do a wrestler's bridge correctly you are using your lower back, abdominals, hips, buttocks, legs and diaphragm MORE than your neck. So you have to be an idiot to call it a "neck bridge."
Not only that but bridging is one of the all-time best exercises for eliminating lower back pain. How could this be if it was all about the neck.
Yes, there are a few people who bash the bridge - but their bashing comes from ignorance rather than real world science. Those who slam bridging don't know how to do a bridge correctly - and they really don't want to because they have something else to sell you, like a ridiculous neck machine, neck harness or another neck routine. It's all bunk and junk compared to the overall benefits of bridging - along with the other neck and back exercises I teach in Combat Conditioning.
Bridging helps eliminate back pain for many reasons - foremost of which is the fact that it simultaneously stretches and strengthens the muscles of the back and core while giving the spine a much needed arch.
The very act of sitting causes the vertebrae to compress - so each time you bridge, even if over a ball, you relieve pressure from the spine and increase energy throughout the entire system. Your spine is the electrical switch for the entire body - so anytime you work on increasing flexibility in the spine via bridging - you light your body from within.
Your internal organs, spine, brain and muscles benefit. And when combined with deep breathing, chi flow throughout all the body's meridians expands. This also accounts for the "glow" and peace of mind you will feel after holding for three minutes. Your body and mind have been joined - at the hip, spine and core.
If you'd like to know even more on the Science of Bridging, you'll find it on the Furey Faithful member's site, wherein top orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Bill Stillwell,
uses x-rays of the cervical vertebrae to explain the science of this wonderful exercise.
If you're not yet a member of the Furey Faithful - there are many benefits and gifts that come along with - including a test-drive of the member's site.

A month ago I sent out an email entitled, 12 Ways to Fix the Economy. It was very popular and I'm still receiving emails about it today.
But, today is a bit different. I'm not going to talk about what the government should and shouldn't do. Instead, I'm going to tell you about a student of mine whose figured out how to do well in the current economy, even though he can only work a couple hours per day because of a deadly disease he's been fighting since birth.
I first met Timothy about 4 years ago and I was shocked when he told me he had Cystic Fibrosis. It's a deadly genetic disease with a pretty short life expectancy.
Doctors told Tim's parents that he wouldn't live past the age of 7 or 8.
But Tim hung in there and is healthy and happy now thanks to great parents, doctors and his determination... and the man upstairs.
AND he makes some pretty decent coin, too. See, because Tim was never able to work full time without risking his health, he had to figure out a different way.
And boy has he ever.
He makes over six figures a year on eBay. And he only works a couple hours per day.
But here is the cool part: Timothy has agreed to share how he does it with my friends.
He has a brand new DVD out with all the latest info about eBay that you'll need to know for 2009. This isn't some old outdated material written in 2002 about how eBay works.
This is the underground, down and dirty info from a guy who is on eBay every single day and makes his living there.
Go grab your copy of Tim's How To Conquer eBay Everyday DVD now. It is what you need to know to create an extra stream of income for 2009.
Regardless of the economy, regardless of the jobless rate, Ebay is still a hugely viable way to make ends meet (and then some) .... and if Tim can male $100K working just a couple hours a day, imagine what you will be able to do.
Go here and get in line for his DVD right now. There's no obligation or charge.

More people today are suffering from aches and pains in their hands, wrists and elbows than at any other time in history.
For some it's the pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. For others it's pain that comes from being physically weak. Others have tendinitis from playing sports, from lifting weights, or from repetitive overuse while typing, laying carpet or laying sheet rock.
Whatever the reason for your pain - you owe it to yourself to end the ache as safely and easily as possible - without drugs or surgery.
11 Years ago I created a program that teaches just that. It teaches you how to eliminate the pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome - as well as wrist and elbow pain.
It's worked wonders for a lot of people thus far. These are people who once slept in braces or were preparing for surgery.
Within 30 days of doing the exercises I teach, the braces have come off and surgeries got postponed.
In some cases, the pain went away within a day or two.
How fast will your pain go away?
You'll get your answer when you're doing the exercises in this program.
None of them are difficult. All are simple and easy-to-learn.
All were put together by me because I also had wrist and elbow pain that wouldn't go away, no matter what I tried. Then, within days of following the advice of a martial arts teacher, the pain went away. Forever.
Get this program here and experience the difference for yourself.

P.S. If you're not in pain but want to have far more hand and grip strength - then the same exercises apply. Order now.
What you do in the first few minutes of your day sets the tone for the rest of it. Tis a fact, Jack.
This is why it is important to begin your day with thoughts of happiness, success, great health and prosperity.
As soon as your feet hit the deck, you want to be launched into the realm of success - the 'get something done today' realm.
No more putting off til tomorrow what you can and should do today. No more dilly-dallying.
One of the key ways to help set you on this course is to always have a daily goal - especially a daily fitness goal. And if you achieve that goal first thing in the morning, the rest of the day is going to be awesome.
Yesterday when my son Frank and I arose from slumber, I asked him how many pushups he wanted to do. He chose the number - I counted. Then I asked him how many Hindu squats. Again, he chose the number and I counted. We did the same for situps.
Then I went to work on some Hindu pushups and other stretches. I not only stretch my body - but my mind, too.
The Hindu pushups is a bit like a cat stretch - as well as a dog stretch. I'm not a big tee-vee watcher, but contrary to what some think, there are some good stations. Animal Planet is one of them.
I love that show.
Last night I watched the special they had on wild cats. Everything from lions to tigers to cheetahs to leopards to mountain lions and a lynx.
Watched a mountain lion nab a deer, drag it throw the forest, latch onto to its neck and PULL it up a tree to hand over a branch (for safekeeping). Now, let me tell you, that's some major league strength.
So watch how these wild - as well as domesticated cats (and dogs) stretch. They stretch backward hundreds of times per day. And they do it as soon as they wake up.
You, my friend, would be well advised to do likewise.
Doing so will not only increase you strength and flexibility - but it will ENERGIZE you for hours.
I'm betting you'd like some of that good old fashioned ENERGY. Well, get it the old fashioned way. Move your body the way it wants to be moved. Stretch like a cat and you'll know why cats stretch the way they do.
By the way, you can learn all about this form of exercise in my Combat Conditioning book and DVDs. Go gobble them up NOW by sprinting over to here.
Stretch like a tiger.

P.S. Do you know why cats kill mice. I'll cover that in the future. In the interim, you should also look into being an elite member of the Furey Faithful - wherein I and my extraordinary group of DOERS - are getting the results you want. Come join us for a one month test drive by getting a copy of Combat Conditioning today.
