MATT FUREY UNCENSORED

The mail keeps pouring in, and in addition to the usual training questions, we have received a lot of good information on diet foods, and other subjects, from various members of the Faithful. We will be using some of this info in future emails.

The following letter is one I really liked.

Hey Matt,

So for a while now I've been doing Combat Conditioning and it's been sorta funny to see and hear the things people will say in response ... such as:

"Hey, you look slimmer, what gym you going to."

"Did you have plastic surgery."

"Do you have a personal trainer."

When I tell them I am doing Combat Conditioning and I show them the bodyweight exercises, the disbelief is readily apparent.

No fancy or hard to figure out gym equipment, no huge membership fees, and no huge chunk of time I don't have to spend away from my cute little son. It's all right here, right now, available at any time I can and want to do it.

I challenged one big muscle guy to do 100 fast squats with me, and guess what. He couldn't do it. I am a 36 year old, 140 pound, 5'5" woman; I knocked out 100 and asked him how he was doing... Not so good.

While I am not some shiny, tan, "ripped" comic book hero looking chick; all my muscle is useful. I find CC works multiple muscle groups vs. one specific muscle group like with gym machines. I like being able to do pushups, and the effect it's had on me is amazing. My back, shoulders, and neck look great, and feel great.

After years of chronic knee, back, and shoulder pain, I am getting stronger every day. The stronger I get, the less I hurt. Hub-dub is pleased with my results too.

This probably seems obvious to you, but this stuff was news to me.
So thanks to you! After years of dieting and joining gyms and trying all these wacky weight lifting routines, I found that bodyweight exercise is simple, accessible, and gives awesome results.

Your information is both useful, and usually pretty funny; it always makes me smile. Hub-dub and 2 girlfriends have seen the light about body building and diet. They tried Combat Conditioning and saw how much better they felt. Now, no one is wasting time or money standing in line at the gym.

You Rock,

Adrienne M.

Best,

Matt Furey

And if you'd like to read a few witticisms about success and more - then follow me on Twitter by going here here.

Find a selection of champion athletes and coaches. Ask each one this question: How much of your success is mental.

You'll have a tough time finding anyone who will say less than 80%. Most will say 90%. Or more.

Take any group of millyunair entrepreneurs and ask them the same question: How much of your business success is mental.

If you find anyone who says less than 90%, he's lying.

Why. Because all success is mental.

Sure, some people are genetically more predisposed to do certain things well, but if this same person takes his skills for granted and does not enhance them with practice, he will be surpassed by someone with less talent who has a great willingness to practice hard and focus.

Now we come to the subject of fitness. I don't care whether it's increased strength, speed, flexibility, power, endurance - or simply dropping excess flabola - the same question applies.

How much of strength, endurance, power, flexibility or weight loss is MENTAL.

The answer is the same: 90% or more.

Now, you may argue that it's all about taking action. That it's all about doing the right things.

Damn right it is. But WHO are the people who DO the right things with the right mental attitude.

The whiners or the DOERS.

Who are the people who ACT with enthusiasm.

You'll find they are the people who have goals, who have plans to fulfill those goals, who have patience, persistence, guts, determination, desire and so on.

These qualities are mental skills transferred to the physical.

All champions, all winners - are the people who know that success is first and foremost a mental process.

Here's a simple example: Let me ask, what time do you get out of bed each day.

Okay, fine.

Now, when you get out of bed, are you tired or enthusiastic.

Do you hit the snooze button a few times before getting up.

Do you stroll to the shower with your eyes barely open or do you move with excitement for the new day that has dawned.

As you answer all of the above, think about the mental picture you have in mind for each. Why. Because I guarantee you that the way you get out of bed is in direct accord with the mental picture you have of yourself waking up each day. All the way down to the TIME you choose to get up.

Think about this.

Think about it before you go to bed tonight. Picture yourself getting up early to do the exercises I have for you in Combat Conditioning and Combat Abs.

Picture yourself looking in the mirror at the end of your workout, celebrating another mental/physical victory.

I dare you to form this mental picture before bed and NOT have it come true. I dare you.

When you do as I advise, you will know what it means to ... Get Tough.

Best,

Matt Furey

I gotta lay it on the line here. From the time I was a teenager to the present - the hype surrounding the bench press has gone wild.

People are now conditioned to believe that how much weight you can press while lying on your back counts for something.

And it does.

It counts for a lot of torn rotator cuffs, a lot of blown pecs and big useless pecs that don't contribute a whole lot to being functionally fit or strong.

Making matters worse - because many people fall in love with "benching" - it's almost all they do. The whole workout is nothing but taking turns on the bench.

A far, far, FAR better measure of your strength can be summed up with the following question that the
farmers in Iowa used to ask me:

"Hey feller, how much weight can you put up over yer head."

That one used to stump me when I was busy building my bench press. But it was the right question.

How much you can pick up from the floor, hoist to your shoulders, then press overhead - sounds a lot like what a farmer might have to do when he working the hay fields or doing other chores.

Doing the old fashioned clean and jerk and snatch - although true measures of overall body strength - are pretty doggone hard for many to learn. Moreover, they're just not the best exercises for a lot of people to do because of age, previous injuries, overall coordination, etc.

This is why it's a good idea to begin with Combat Conditioning wherein you are building FUNCTIONAL strength with nothing more than your
own body weight. Just like animals in the wild.

Bodyweight exercises build strength, endurance and flexibility simultaneously. And Combat Conditioning starts you off with the Royal Court - the Big 3 of exercise: Hindu squats, Hindu pushups and bridging.

Once you're doing these fairly well - then it's time to reverse things. By this I mean that instead of seeing how much weight you can "put over your head" - you kick into a handstand - lean against a wall and work on pressing your entire body weight up and down.

It's harder than using a barbell with weights. It's more challenging.

But when it comes to creating FUNCTIONAL strength - it is truly magnificent.

You can read more about doing these handstand pushups - by going here.

When the weekend arrives, many people don't know how to 'unwind' in a healthy way. Today I submit to you ...

1. Take a sauna - Make sure you drink plenty of fluids, before and after. At the end of a long day, even during the week, I like to to sauna.

2. Hot tub - Get in some warm water and let the 'jets' do their magic on your muscles.

3. Get a massage - I recommend a massage at least once a month. When I'm in China, I get one everyday.

4. Go for a long walk with 'nature' - Find a special trail, go to the beach or hike a mountain path - just get out there and stroll while inhaling and exhaling and feeling how good it is to be outside, breathing fresh air.

5. Read something - Notice I didn't say watch tee-vee. You'll draw more inspiration and appreciation for life from a good book than you ever will from passively watching tee-vee - esp. the so-called 'news.' Who needs anymore of that? Not me.

6. Spend time with those you love. Need I say more?

7. Do some stretching exercises. Believe it or don't - but stretching isn't just good for your muscles. It's also good for your mind. Bridging, for example, is fantastic for ridding yourself of depression. If you're ever feeling stressed, down or depressed, practice the bridge as well as the other stretching exercises as seen in Combat Stretching. And, iIf you're not able to do the bridge just yet - then lie across a gymnastics ball and feel all the tension melt out of your back.

Gotta go hug my wife and kids.

Best,

Matt Furey

P.S.: The Combat Stretching series really does help you double your flexibility - and fast, too. And yes, it is a very quick mood altering exercise. Find out more here.

Here's a great question that many of you might also have:

Hello Matt,
I've been thinking about this question for several weeks now and I'm finally taking it to the master himself. I own both Combat Conditioning and Combat Abs.

You suggest that the Magnificent 7 be done every morning but in the question and answer section, you allow for at least doing them 3x's a week.

The question: Do you think it would be practical/beneficial to alternate doing The Royal Court every other day and alternating with The Magnificent 7 in between days or would that approach be counter-productive to reaping the benefits of one over the other.

I appreciate your time and advice.

Thank You.
Terry T.

MJF: Terry, the Magnificent 7 found in Combat Abs is not nearly as difficult to perform as the Royal Court in Combat Conditioning. That's the first thing to keep in mind.

Doing the Mag 7 every morning will keep your bowels regular due to what I call the "Cosmic Fiber Effect." Most people today have irregularity in going numero dos - and so this can help a great deal.

Next, the Mag 7 will energize your system because of the deep breathing.

Of the seven exercises, only two are going to push you into a sweat, the other five are mostly to keep you limber, loose and flexible in your waist, spine and hips. Very important to the functioning of your core.

I think it's not asking too much to do the Mag 7 on the days you do Combat Conditioning. You can whip through a shorter version of the program if you'd like. Reduce the numbers in half if you'd like.

Even so, as I've stated, you can do the Mag 7 once a day or three times a week. You can alternate between both programs if that is more to your liking.

The biggest key to success is getting on a program and following it because of your strong desire to be happy, healthy and fit. Don't look for excuses NOT to train. Look for reasons to do it - the foremost of which is that when finished, you can look in the mirror, smile, pump both fists heavenward and proclaim, "Good work Terry. You did it again. You remembered to 'Get Tough.' You won another mental game with yourself."

For future questions, make sure you're a member of the Furey Faithfu l we cover everything there in a ton of depth

Best,

If you go home from work today and sit on the couch to watch tee-vee; if you eat a big ole meal and go to bed without doing something physical; then tomorrow will be HUMP DAY for you.

HUMP DAY is the Wednesday that tired, fatigued and emotionally drained people have. It is also, in some ways, a type of language used by people who have humps.

Dowager's hump from sitting before a computer for hours a day.

Butt humps from - well, sitting all day.

Belly humps from not exercising and eating all the wrong foods.

And muscle humps wherein your body is out of balance.

For me, tomorrow is Wednesday. It's not hump day. And the truth is I wouldn't even know it's Wednesday except for the fact that my wife called me a bit ago to tell me so. Otherwise I'd have no idea.

Why. Because when you exercise the way I do - with the The Chinese Long-Life System in the morning and Dao Zou in the evening - your life goes into a state of FLOW.

When you're in a state of flow - work is play. There's no pain or drudgery attached to it. Moreover, you have a decreased desire to keep track of time because you're enjoying every single moment.

You're breathing - you're relaxed - you're savoring each moment.

No angst. No stress. No worries.

Sure, just like anyone else, problems can surface - but regardless, you breathe, relax and savor - and get over them quickly.

In doing so you discover that life does not have to turn you into a stressed out lunatic. You stay calm in the midst of chaos by reconnecting to Nature through exercise that opens you up - body, mind and soul.

The The Chinese Long-Life System opens the meridians in the body through gentle exercises and slaps to various pressure points. Do it in the morning and you'll run off to work without a worry in the world.

In the evening, it's good to purge all the negativity from the day by rewinding your mind with Dao Zou. This series of exercises will revitalize and recharge you while transforming stress into peace and tranquility.

Don't be surprised when people notice you're looking younger - as well as sporting a new found glow that is magnetic.

Don't be surprised if you get asked, "How do you stay so centered and calm when everyone else if freaked out."

At this point you can smile and say, "Ancient Chinese Secret."

Indeed, it IS.

Learn these ancient secrets NOW.

And remember - no more hump days.

I got up at six this morning to start my day. Grabbed the Matt Furey Exercise Bible - (a carton-illustrated deck of poker cards that get you into the best shape of your life) and began cranking out the reps.

Sweat began to pour of me like water off a dolphin.

Within minutes I was drenched.

Here on Hainan Island it's hot. And it humid. And the day starts and ends that way. We're talking "the tropics."

After 10 minutes I had a puddle of sweat and I didn't know if I was going to finish or not.

But it was a battle between ME and the cards - and I don't like losing to a deck of cards - even if they're named after me.

So I continued.

Next thing you know I am sopped in sweat. I am blitzed from head to toe - and in between, too.

In my mind I went back and forth between "I can't do this," and "Doesn't matter, you're doing it anyway."

I went through two bottles of water. I was grossly insufficient.

I wanted my mommy. I wanted my daddy. I wanted a nipple to suckle.

I became delirious. I saw Jesus walking across the water. That was nice.

Then I saw Beelzebub. I didn't like him much.

Then a voice from within told me to picture my "Big Self."

I got the image right - and I finished the workout - come hell, high water and the sky above me.

I walked inside and collapsed.

"Tomorrow it will be easier," I said to myself.

"That will be good," myself said to I.

This sort of workout is what makes real men great and weak man scared. But anyone who does it must become a superbly conditioned human being.

Anyone who does the Matt Furey Exercise Bible for his workout will soon learn that the mind and body are one. Yes, that's easy to say when you're sitting on a sofa watching the idiot box.

But when you get on the floor and PROVE it - even when it's tough - even when you want to quit - that's when you KNOW what you're saying. You know it because you LIVE it.

If you don't have the Matt Furey Exercise Bible yet - I can't imagine what is running through your head. I'm giving them away for free when you enroll in the Furey Faithful.

Go here and pick up your Bible NOW. It is the ultimate weapon for defeating the demons of self-doubt, fear, worry and other negative emotions.

Best,

Matt Furey

"Every man should be able to save his own life. He should be able to swim far enough, run fast and long enough to save his life in case of emergency and necessity."

The quote mentioned above comes from Earle E. Liederman, a renowned fitness pioneer back in the days of Charles Atlas.

In order to 'save his your own life' - as well as the life of a loved one, Liederman did NOT advocate
bodybuilding. Or powerlifting. Or massive muscles.

Much of Liedermans' life-saving method evolved around the development of 'strength-endurance'
with bodyweight calisthenics.

Let's face it, big gigantic muscles may impress some people, but there is nothing more impressive than
having the functional strength-endurance to do things with ease - including saving your own life - or someone else's.

Liederman's life-saving prescription is almost the same as my own. He wrote that you should ...

* Be able to swim at least half a mile or more;

* Be able to run at top speed two hundred yards or more;

* Be able to jump over obstacles higher than your waist;

* Be in condition to pull your body upward by the strength of your arms, until your chin touches your hands, at least 15 to 20 times;

* Be able to dip between parallel bars or between two chairs at least 25 times or more.

"If a man can accomplish these things," Liederman said, "he need have no fear concerning the safety of his life should he be forced into an emergency from which he alone may be able to save himself."

Okay, so is there anything I would add to Liederman's prescription?

Yes. Consider the following:

Furey's Personal Life Saving Prescription

* Be able to go without food for at least 24 hours * Be able to run two miles in 20 minutes or walk 5 miles in 90 minutes * Be able to do 100 Hindu Squats in less than 2 minutes * Be able to do at least 25 Hindu Pushups in a row * Be able to hold a bridge for at least 60 seconds * Be able to breathe deeply and remain calm under stress * Be able to pop someone hard enough with your fist, foot, elbow or knee to knock him out.

Is it a good idea to think about saving your own life?

Well, consider the alternative.

P.S. If you don't have my Combat Conditioning book and DVDs yet, what are you waiting for.

A whole NEW you is waiting in the wings. All you have to do is reach out and say 'YES' to the new you. Go here to get started immediately.

10 weeks ago I began quietly testing a supposed "miracle" formula that you'll never hear a regular doctor breathe a word about - at least not in the United States.

After getting my supply at a private meeting with a group of health and fitness insiders, I started taking it, and then brought some to China with me. My plan was to test the formula out personally before telling anyone my results.

Here's what happened:

My energy improved as well as my workout performance.

I sleep an hour less and wake up ready to kick butt.

My skin is younger looking.

My eyesight is better.

And my joints have never felt better.

And my already good mood has improved.

What's amazing is that the doctor who gave me this formula reported on its proven heart health properties - he didn't even mention these other benefits.

Understand, there isn't ANY formula in the world quite like this. Which is why I have my family on it.

I'm only revealing this formula to my trusted friends and dedicated subscribers. I assure you, a lot of people are going to be upset if I "go public" with this formula.

And so, If YOU want to discover the formula I've been personally taking for the last 10 weeks, go to the
small secret website here and sign up to get on the private list:

Once you sign up, check your email to CONFIRM you want to discover this formula and it will be emailed to you. I'm keeping this very private so you must follow the instructions I've laid out for you.

Go here - subscribe, confirm via email, then be amazed at what you discover.

Best,

Matt Furey

People often wonder why the exercises in Combat Conditioning are so effective in helping them lose unwanted fat. Especially when they were told that 'weight training' would do it.

Well, truth be told, the keys to dropping excess fat lie in maximizing your metabolism.

And the best exercises for cranking up your body's metabolism are NOT barbell or dumbbell curls, tricep kickbacks, pec deck, leg extensions, leg curls, lat pulldowns and a host of other near worthless exercises that require you to buy and/or use expensive and totally unnecessary
machinery.

Master your own bodyweight. It's the best machine
ever made.

Now, do you want to know why Combat Conditioning works so well?

It's because most weight training exercises are isolation movements.

Almost all weight training movements do not require a large amount of your body's total muscle mass to move. Therefore, when doing these isolation exercises, you rarely if ever get out of breath.

So?

Well, the 'so' is - if you don't get out of breath while exercising, your body isn't going to change very much.

And so, when you do Combat Conditioning, one of the first things you discover is how quickly you are huffing and puffing. The increased oxygen helps generate more body heat and more energy. Ultimately this leads to a fitter, stronger, healthier person.

Listed Below Are 5 Exercises That Maximize Your Metabolism by Making You Huff and Puff:

1. Hindu squats - these work all the major muscles of the legs, as well as the hips, arms and back. This exercise builds lung power along with lower body strength-endurance.

2. Hindu pushups - quickly get you out of breath; this exercise hits your chest, back, shoulders, triceps, forearms, abdominals, hips, thighs, calves - and so on. It also strengthens the internal organs of the body and gives flexibility to the spine, shoulders and hips.

3. Bridging - whether doing a bridge on your head and hands, your hands only or your head only - the bridge hits many major muscle groups. Once you master it, your body's metabolism is in overdrive.

4. Hill sprints - running uphill sprints quickly gets you out of breath. This is one of the things I did to get into kick-butt condition on the way to winning a world title in China.

5. Rope skipping - 10 minutes of rope skipping are equivalent to 30 minutes of running. If you're crunched for time, skip some rope and save 20 minutes.

By the way, all of these exercises are covered in detail in my Combat Conditioning book and videos. I suggest you order a set right now and discover what people in more than 90 countries worldwide are raving about. Go here place your order.

That's it for today.

Best,

Matt Furey
