My 10-Step Health Care Plan

I've been watching the debates on government health care. And as I watch I wonder how much health care we'd even need, government or personal, if the following became a reality in this country.

1. Every able-bodied person in the U.S. exercised for at least 15 minutes a day.

2. Exercise was a required subject in schools - from pre-school through graduate school.

3. Deep breathing exercises were taught to kids as well as adults - after all, 70% of toxins are eliminated through the breath.

4. Fluoride were removed from drinking water, along with all the other harmful chemicals wending their way to the faucet.

5. Shots with toxic mercury and cadmium were no longer given - many believe these potions have sky-rocketed autism and Alzheimers to record levels.

6. Cancer-causing pesticides and herbicides were no longer allowed to be sprayed on fruits and vegetables.

7. High fructose corn syrup was banned from all foods and beverages.

8. Genetically modified foods were outlawed.

9. MSG and other corn derivatives were no longer allowed to be added to foods.

10. All meat and dairy had to be grass-fed and hormone free.

The above is only a snippet of what could be done to save trillions of dollars on future health care costs. Naturally, I've narrowed this plan to 10 key points that most everyone can read fairly fast - as well as Google for accuracy.

Yes, there is a lot more that could go into this plan. Even so, I doubt that the first or the final iteration would be 1,000 pages long.

Why? Because health care begins with YOU.

Yes, it helps to have others who can assist you - but the majority of what you have to do to get healthy and stay healthy is totally under YOUR control.

Exercises like those taught in my international best-sellers, Combat Conditioning, Combat Abs and the Furey Fat Loss Diet - may contribute a great deal to your overall health and well being. They may change your life for the better.

Place your order now and discover the truth for yourself.

As Jack LaLanne once said, "Exercise is king, nutrition is queen. Together they make a kingdom."

Matt Furey

P.S. "Matt, I ordered your Combat Abs and immediately got attracted to simplicity of the "Magnificent Seven." I finally found a set of exercises that are not too strenuous (I got gym workout for that), don't require going outside in a rain or snow or take up minimum space (great for hotel workout) or special equipment.

But you should put a warning on these exercises - "Be near restroom when finished doing Magnicent Seven. They will flush out whatever you have inside right out of you, better than any fiber or a laxative."

The internal massage you get feels good the entire day.

Thank you for getting me a great morning set of exercises. Really appriciate you sharing discovery of how old masters trained.

Now I know how great 19th and 20th century wrestlers and strongmen got into thier incredible shape. The secret is in the breath.

The Day That Made My Day

Today I received an email from Ms. Day.

A month ago she was in terrible pain - and being she makes her living as a copywriter - having surgery on her wrists wasn't something she wanted.

So she got hold of my program, How to Eliminate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Pain Within 30 Days.

Here is what she wrote me:

Hey Matt!

Thanks so much again for the fast fix for my carpal tunnel crisis.

When I contacted you, I was in acute pain - and worse, had become terrified. Everyone I talked to about it told me some kind of horror story about surgery, crippling pain that wouldn't go away, and ultimately, how they had to curtail their computer usage, and sometimes even change their jobs or stop using keyboards altogether.

Since I write for a living - and for the love of it - I was afraid this was the beginning of the end for me! But the exercises you give on the DVD - (and I have to admit, the fun I have using the green donut) - has made an enormous difference for me. I am virtually pain-free now. But more important, I no longer live in fear that my days as a writer might be limited or curtailed by carpal tunnel. That, like they say in those commercials, is priceless.

Monica Day
Marketing Consultant/Copywriter


MJF: That's fantastic news, Monica. I am thrilled for you. Thanks for making my "day."

Want to eliminate hand, wrist or elbow pain? And the braces and surgeries that accompany them? Then follow the "fix" that Monica is raving about.

Got Debt?

Picture this: You get up in the morning, open the fridge, and grab a gallon of milk. Upon removing the lid you smell something a bit foul. You move your nose closer and take a bigger whiff.

Pewwww.

What do you do in this situation?

If halfway sane, you walk to the sink and dump the entire gallon down the drain.

Well, imagine being able to do something similar with debt.

It stinks just as much as a gallon of sour, out-dated milk, don't you think?

So why carry it around?

Believe me, being debt free is a helluva lot better than wondering how you're going to make ends meet - and you can get started on the path to freedom today by taking a gander at my newest program, Think and Live Debt-Free, Forever.

This course is currently being offered at a ridiculously low amount - FAR, FAR less than the value of it.

If I were you I'd latch onto a copy in a heartbeat. Why not do the same?

Go here and secure your copy of this program NOW - before I take it off the market.

Eliminate All Debt Forever

A few months ago I sat with a man who's made over six billion dollars in his lifetime. He has homes in three countries and lives life with gusto.

Yet, years ago he was in the hole in a big way. People thought he wouldn't make it, but he did.

He followed a proven, systematic method of getting whatever he wanted, whether he had the money or not - and three years later he was a millionaire.

When I first got started in info-publishing, I was also in debt. So I followed what this man advised and guess what? I got the same type of results he got.

Whether you're in debt or not, I advise you to take a good look at the program I created with this man.

It's called Think and Live Debt Free, Forever.

Check it out NOW. You'll be glad you did, for an entire lifetime.

Can You Do Hindu Pushups Several Times a Day?

Today I'm going to answer one of those frequently asked questions as well as one that is 'less' frequently asked - but darn good.

Many people write to ask me whether or not they can do the exercises in Combat Conditioning on a daily basis. My answer is the same today as it was 10 years ago, when the first edition came out.

Yes.

'But in weight training they say ....'

Yes, I understand what they say in weight training. We're not talking about that. We're talking about Combat Conditioning, and ... just like gymnastics, it can be done daily.

You can choose to do it two or three times a week if you'd like. Or you can do it everyday. I believe you get optimum results when you do something everyday. Some days you do a hard workout. Other days you go light - but you do something everyday.

Now, with that in mind, let's look at an email from a man who lives in the 'Windy City.'

Hello Matt,
My name is Richard and I have a couple of questions for you. First I purchased your Combat Conditioning package and I love it. My question is can I do the Royal Court more than once per day? Or can I do Hindu squats throughout the day before or after the Royal Court? I am currently up to 50 Hindu Squats and 15 hindu push ups and I wall walk for three times almost touching my chest to the wall. Do you think that this will slow me down because I train the same exercise throughout the day?
Richard
Chicago, IL

M.F.: Richard, the answer is 'yes.' Here's the deal: When first starting out with the Royal Court, your maximum repetitions are not very high on any of the main exercises. So one of the ways to build up strength and endurance is doing a set of Hindu Pushups or Hindu squats - or both - several times a day. It does not have to be a maximum rep set. In fact, tis better if it's just a good push. If every hour on the hour you do 10 Hindu pushups and 25 Hindu squats - and you do this eight times during the day, you've increased the overall workload and you will improve. This is one of those secrets Karl Gotch taught me when I started. Key thing is that you don't max out each day. Just train and enjoy the journey and go for a maximum goal a couple times a month. You'll find this method quickly accelerates your progress.

Well, my friend, that's all for now.

Best,

Matt Furey

P.P.S. Someone asked me about strengthening their hands and wrists when they're hurt. My answer is do the same exercises in my Carpal
Tunnel Fix program

Does 5 Second Abs Work?

Testimonials on the effectivenes of the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener, as seen in my best-selling book,Combat Abs are pouring in.

One man wrote to say he's dropped four inches from his waist inside of three weeks - and just as I wrote, his digestion has shown a marked improvement.

In Farmer Burns 1914 by-mail course, Lessons in Wrestling and Physical Culture he said the same thing. In fact, Burns also, referring to the subject of deep breathing, said - 'Deep breathing alone has made many a weak man strong and many a sick man well.'

The whole reason why the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener works is because of the deep breathing combined with flexing and tensing of the abdominal muscles. Simply flex and tense the abdominals and you don't have much. The whole key lies in the mixture.

The greatest thing about this exercise is that you can do it virtually anywhere and no one else has to know. It's your little workout secret.

You can do it at your desk. In a car. On a plane. In the shower. Even while doing other exercises.

It truly is remarkable.

Be sure to make Five Second Abs part of your everyday routine.

Best,

Matt Furey

5 Second Abs for More Energy

In previous messages I've written about doing the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener in the shower, the car, the bedroom and so on.

When I write about this incredibly effective exercise, I normally speak about how it reduces the waistline and strengthens your core.

But yesterday, Dave, a Furey Faithful member, put up a message about how he's been doing this abdominal exercise in the shower - and how he's found it energizes him in a big way.

He's absolutely right.

One of things about the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener is that is rapidly ramps up your energy and awareness.

And it doesn't matter where you are when you do it. Any time you need to recharge or re-energize, you
simply do the breathing and flexing exercises I teach in Combat Abs and you'll go into a different realm very quickly.

Dave says he's been doing very short workouts with this exercise and a number of others throughout the day, routines that take only a few minutes - and he's liking the results he's getting.

This goes to show, once again, that you do not need to engage in long, long, long workouts to get the
results you want. If you take a couple minutes, every hour on the hour to do some Hindu pushups, Hindu squats or the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener - you'll be amazed at what it will do for you throughout the day.

So never let time be an excuse for inactivity. All of us have the same 24 hours each day. Make a decision to find the time. Schedule a little mini-workout into your day - and do it no matter what.

Get Tough,

Matt Furey

Oh, My Aching Back ... and Other Fitness Stories

Got up this morning and stretched like a cat - looked through some of your emails that got forwarded - and I'm ready to rock the day with some good ole fashioned QnA. Here goes:

Dear Matt,
I am 40 and a Army Reservist. I work for a highway dept. I do alot of bullwork. I ended up with 3 protruding discs. After dealing with chiropractors and physcial therapy, and with a Physical Training test looming I finally ordered Combat Conditioning. I did the Hindu Pushups, Hindu Squats, and finally the dreaded Back Bridge. As I raised up into the bridge it sounded like twigs snapping. I must have been
sublaxsaded and it put me in alignment. I felt like a new man!!! Thanks to you I'm now kicking butt!
Marty S.

M.F.: Marty, that is awesome to know. Keep up the fine work.
Matt,
I am an Instructor for the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. I'm sure you are aware that we use many of your
Combat Conditioning exercises every day we practice MCMAP. I personally have made it instrumental to my own work out regimen - with the Royal Court being key. Surely enough can't be said about the value of your program and methods. It's the best thing going as far as combative fitness and strength is concerned.

My question: I have a very close friend who has just 'made her peace' with the fact that she is woefully out of shape. If she doesn't do something about it soon, she is bound for some serious health problems as a result of being so overweight. My wife and I have been bringing her to the gym with us for about a week now and she's been very positive about the commitment to get in shape and I know she can. I realize that starting slowly and setting gradually progressing goals is a sound way to help her begin to 'dig herself out' of this hole that she's in. At this stage doing anything is better than doing nothing.

She has been attending water aerobics classes with my wife and doing some low intensity cardiovascular work on the elliptical trainer. I wonder, though, would it be advisable to incorporate some Combat Conditioning exercises into her routine? If so, to what extent and which exercises would be the most effective in our battle to bring her back to the world of the able? I could really use your advice here as I'm not sure if the exercises are too intense or stressful for her at this current level of fitness.
Please Help!
Respectfully,
Nick H.


M.F.: Hi Nick. Glad to know you're spreading the word. Regarding your friend, don't think of her as if she's any different than a recruit. Naturally you'll train her different, but she is not to be babied. Expect her to succeed just the same as you expect those you train to succeed. How she does is as much your emotional state of mind as hers. If she's 'open' then you can have enormous impact and influence on her. If she's not open - no one can.

If this woman is doing water aerobics and using an elliptical trainer, there is no reason why she cannot begin doing Combat Conditioning. I would start here on a modified Royal Court, if need be - but the workout is the same. By modified I mean Hindu squats (halfway down), Hindu Pushups from knees and bridging over a Swedish ball. These are some basic tips. It would also be well worth your while to be a part of my Furey Faithful because you will get your questions answered promptly and in a ton more detail. Those who are on board are raving about it. For more information on it go to http://www.FureyFaithful.com

Matt
I want to thank you for the emails.They are informative and motivating. I had purchased Combat Conditioning awhile ago, the Handstand Pushup program, Kick A<$, Take Names more recently. I was on the right track, gaining endurance and functional strength. I have always had a strong upper body-mainly triceps, shoulders and chest. I have yet to really apply the Handstand Pushup program, let me tell you and other readers why.

Like several people who have written to you, I too pulled a blockhead move one day and grabbed some heavy dumbbells after a perfectly good pushup/pullup workout, and wrecked a tendon in my forearm. The injury (medial epicondylitis-'golfer's elbow') is now over a year old. I cannot do more than three pullups per set (I used to do three sets of 15). Parallel bar dips are minimal (used to do three sets of 25). I can do Hindu pushups but at 15 or 20 my injured arm begins to give out.

I went to a doctor, went through physical therapy and still have the injury. I am going to bite the bullet, have the surgery and recover so I can continue to train 'properly'. The doctor says it will be at least 6-10 weeks until I can try to continue the kind of workout I want to do even though the surgery is fairly simple.

Anyway, I am looking at this recovery time as a great chance to really improve my Hindu squats. Going to shoot for 600. 'Out of the seed of adversity comes something good.'

Again, thank you for the motivation and information. I will always train the Combat Conditioning and not do anything dumb in the future. Please continue to do what you are doing, you are helping many people gain strength, health and fulfillment.
Jim
Oceanside, CA


M.F.: Jim, all of us have adversities and I'm grateful to you for the reminder to turn them into something positive. All the best to you.

Well, that's all for now.

Best,

Matt Furey

Breathe Deep - Live Long

Whenever you see someone oozing health and vitality, you're seeing someone who understands the power of deep breathing.

In China, traditional practitioners of tai chi, gong fu and chi kung will tell you that any exercise program that doesn't incorporate the breath is 'incomplete.'

The Chinese Long-Life System begins with deep breathing. Not only that - it incorporates exercises designed to open the meridians of the body, thereby increasing the flow of 'chi' in the body.

Disease and illness come when the 'chi' is stagnate.

Keep your chi flowing by doing a series of simple exercises that put everything in flow: the breath, the blood and the chi.

Order the Chinese Long-Life System today by going here.

Why You Must Adapt and Improvise

One of the first lessons I learned from Karl Gotch in relation to Combat Conditioning and to combat sports was the importance of being able to 'adapt and improvise' - To change course on the fly and still come out ahead.

In today's message I am going to take you back to an article I wrote a couple years ago - but have just revised, because I think it explains why this concept is critically important, not only to the combat athlete, but to anyone who wants to be at the top of any profession.

Here goes:

'It was the day after a dual meet with the University of Northern Iowa. Iowa head wrestling coach Dan Gable stood before us with a legal pad in his hands - giving each wrestler a brutal evaluation in front of the entire team - something you're just not supposed to do in today's politically correct 'feelings first' world.

A couple wrestlers received a boatload of praise for their performance; others were told what they needed to do to improve; two were deeply criticized. Don't know what it was about Gable, but he could pretty much say whatever he wanted and you would listen.

Yet, nothing he said was ever sugar-coated or communicated in order to please. The good thing about Gable was we always knew where we stood.

After critiquing the first few wrestlers, Gable began evaluating a two-time All-American, Jeff, who lost a close match to a former Marine - who also happened to be an All-American.

"You know Jeff," said Gable. "You're one of these guys who goes out to wrestle with a plan. And then when the plan doesn't work, you fall to pieces. It's okay to have a plan - but when the plan doesn't fit - you've got to be able to change gears and do whatever you need to do to win."

When I heard this I was stunned - mostly because I, too, was one of those wrestlers who put together a plan. And like John, if the plan didn't work - I was s-o-l.

In combat sports we are taught to practice various moves over and over and over again. And we train in such a way so that "what we know" becomes second nature.

As 1984 Olympic champion Lou Banach once told me, "You've got to know your moves like the back of your hand. You've got to be able to do them in your sleep."

What Lou was talking about is being "programmed" to react in a certain way to specific situations. And he's right.

On the other hand, what Gable told Jeff was equally right. You've got to be prepared and able to change gears, to adapt and improvise -
and be able to do so right during the heat of battle.

This is something that may not come easily - but it is possible, regardless of your endeavor. It's all a matter of training, confidence and the willingness to flow into something else - on the fly.

Some months ago I witnessed a perfect example of how this philosophy of "having a plan but being flexible" is NOT simply a martial arts or combat strategy. It applies to everything.

It even applies to a business meeting or seminar.

One of the things I have noted about many seminar speakers is their reliance on "Power Point" presentations when they talk.

Occasionally I will use one - albeit with blank slides in between the actual content, - so that I am forced to communicate based on the audience feedback, not based on 'what does my next slide say.' But most of the time all I want is a microphone and that's plenty, in my book.

There are a few reasons why I don't like Power Point and they tie nicely into this concept of planning what you're going to say, but being willing to adapt and improvise.

One of the biggest reasons I don't like to rely on Power Point is simple: What if suddenly, during the middle of your talk, the computer shuts down?

Well, if it does, can the speaker immediately adapt and improvise? Most of the time, when I have witnessed this happen - the speaker is totally clueless about what comes next.

You feel bad for the speaker the same way you feel bad for an athlete who is stumped by an opponent who comes out to fight with techniques and strategies you have never seen before, haven't prepared for and cannot defend.

Like Gable, I believe the ultimate level of skill is being able to flow with whatever is happening, whether you prepared for it or not - yet still come out smelling like a rose.

Only a handful of speakers or fighters can actually do this. But every speaker or fighter has it within himself to do so.

Study the top people in any profession. Note how relaxed and calm they are when performing or competing. This is critically important.

Then think back to the times in your life in which you are able to adapt with ease. I'm betting you've had the experience and the first thing you'll recall about it was that you were totally relaxed and having a good time. You weren't stressed out or worried about how you were going to do. You simply went with the flow.

Having a plan can help you relax. I know it helps me.

But knowing I can adapt and improvise if the plan isn't working - that's a level of skill worth fighting for.'

Best,

Matt Furey
