I was driving home last night after enjoying a sweat in the sauna and a plunge in the pool. 

Had the AM radio on, listening to the post-game analysis of the Los Angeles Lakers getting swept by the Denver Nuggets. My cauliflower ears were taking it all in.

Then the sportscasters gave way to a commercial. And guess what this commercial was all about?

It was none other than an out-of-state law firm urging parents to call their offices if their son or daughter has been harmed by social media, in particular, Instagrunts and Flakeybook.

What kind of harm?

Anxiety disorders, eating disorders, depression and suicide.

This lawsuit must be BIG LEAGUE if they’re advertising on late night radio.

Social media has its upside, but the downside is terrifying, especially for children who are addicted en masse, and are suffering major psychological damage.

I use social media very sparingly with an “on and gone” policy. I get on to make a point or post and leave as quickly as I came on.

I do NOT scroll through everyone’s feed, ad nauseam. I rarely reply to anyone’s postings, but not because they don’t have value or I don’t care.

It is because of the deleterious effect the social media apps can and do have on the brain, and how they were deliberately created to be ultra-addictive.

Are these APPS more addictive than smoking, drinking and drugs? I believe so, but don’t take my word for it. Do your own research.

Better yet, see if you can remove yourself from these APPS for a day and take note of how your nervous system reacts. If you cannot live without them for one day, much less a couple of hours, is that proof of addiction? Well, you tell me.

It’s amazing to see all the lamebrain parents who use their young children, even their infants and babies in videos on social media to get attention. How desperate and dumb can these people be?

One of the keys to living a great life is the ability to clear your mind. This, my friend, cannot be done if you’re responding to every prompt and bleep on social media. Your brain and nervous system need a rest – and they need a rest EVERYDAY.

When your brain and nervous system gets a rest, a wonderful thing happens: You recharge and rejuvenate your body-mind. 

You might think that this recharging can be done with any type of physical exercise, but the truth is that almost all exercise programs deplete your energy and bang up your body.

When I go to the gym to use the sauna and pool, it is amazing how many “fit people” are limping and gimping around. And they continue to do the same exercises that are contributing to their demise.

There are a few ways you can exercise to restore and reignite your energy, to rid your body of aches and pains.

And the very best way, the ultimate way, the way that gives you back your power, is my Power Postures course, which continues to escalate in price and value because the benefits are MASSIVE and MAJOR.

Armed with the exercises I teach in Power Postures, you energize yourself physically and mentally, increasing your strength, stamina and flexibility. This is a far better idea than being a scrolling slave on social media.

The current fee for this program will be going up again soon. Make sure you jump on this NOW.

I’m finally back in the saddle. Back in Florida, that is.

Earlier this month I spent 10 days in Montana, and gave myself the ultimate birthday present, driving from one magnificent site to another, while filming an extensive follow-along product I’ll be releasing in June, that totally kicks azz.

Anyway, one of the greatest realities about Montana is you don’t have to drive far to see something spectacular. From the mountain ranges, to the lakes, rivers and streams, you continually drop your jaw in wonderment.

During this trip, after a couple days in and around Billings, I drove to Kalispell, taking the eastern route through Great Falls and East and West Glacier and Hungry Horse. I didn’t see any elk or moose, but Holy Sensations, what great views.

I stayed in Kalispell for six nights, rising early each morning to go to a park and begin filming. The new project generated so much energy that I hardly slept the whole time I was there.

The Montana Mudd Man afternoon burgers helped, along with steak and eggs for breakfast – and, of course, a delicious Cowgirl Coffee latte’.

When I left the Glacier National Park area, I took a different route back to Billings.

As I was headed south toward Missoula, I stopped to text, Jason, a friend who lives in the Missoula area. He invited me to his home, where I spent the night.

I don’t normally stay at other peoples’ homes, and almost always decline requests to do so, but this was no ordinary abode as it sat on 80+ acres, with ponds, a stream, plenty of Ponderosa Pines… oh, and a stimulating view of the Rocky Mountains.

The next morning, I was up at 5:30 AM to shoot a silent video of myself exercising. Although I didn’t say a word, the ducks, geese, hawks and other birds were singing up a storm, making the video a masterpiece.

After a quick shower I thanked Jason for his hospitality and off I went toward Salmon, Idaho, which was supposed to be two hours and fifteen minutes away. But I took my time, getting out of my truck to shoot photos and videos along the way.

Once I reached Salmon, I immediately went to a park by the river, and filmed another silent segment. I had already recorded seven days worth of guided instruction, so now it was high time I shut up and let others follow along while they tune into nature at a deeper level.

Following this, I pulled up at a breakfast dive, ordered my obligatory steak with six eggs (there’s no better breakfast steaks than those in Montana and Idaho). Thankfully the waitress didn’t ask me any questions when I relayed my order, then added, “No bread. No toast. No hash browns. No fries. No grits. No oatmeal. None of that. Just steak and eggs.”

After breakfast I headed east on what Google maps described as a “secondary highway.”

I envisioned this secondary highway as a two-lane road, which it was. But I didn’t expect nearly 40 miles of dirt and loose gravel roads, with almost zero vehicles coming my way, and nearly zero people living in the area. Definitely not a place where you want to have car problems.

Well, I got through those dirt roads. Then I sped past Dillon, stopped in Butte, momentarily, to gas up and grab a polar bear latte’ (made with huckleberries and a bit of white chocolate).

Then I got on I-90 and headed east.

I didn’t stop in Bozeman, aka Boz-angeles. Not this time anyway. Instead, I drove all the way to Billings.

Even though the new course was finished days earlier, while I was in Kalispell, I was still on a roll. I got up the next two mornings, went to some other pristine places and continued to knock out silent segments.

That’s where I’ve been up to the last couple weeks. And now, after a couple days of rest, I’m back at it.

By the way, the new product will be an extensive and advanced 7-day (plus bonuses) “follow me” course. It will be available in June.

In the interim, make sure you are learning from and using my introductory Power Postures program.

You’ll need it in order to qualify for the advanced course, as well as the LIVE training I will be having this fall.

Power Postures is the prerequisite for the other material, and it WILL help you…

Kick ass and Take Names…

at a whole new LEVEL.

Polar Bear Latte Rules the Whirld

Last Saturday I arrived in Montana. Billings to be exact.

Been here before so I was immediately magnetized to the familiar. That would be a 7-egg omelette and a 1/2-pound burger at The Tippy Cow.

No toast, no grits, no bread.

And definitely no fries, hash browns, tater tots or any other type of tater.

After pounding this hearty meal I drove to my favorite coffee place, Classy $ Sassy, a crackerjack box style operation, situated in what would normally be an unused parking lot.

My favorite beverage there is the Polar Bear Latte, a mixture of huckleberries, white chocolate and three shots of espresso. Oh my!

Typically I avoid all the flavorings with my latte, but when in Montana, I bend the rules a bit.

I stay away from the starch: bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and grains. But I do go nuts from almost anything huckleberry and a little white chocolate with it is fine.

The last few days I’ve been just outside Glacier National Park and each I record footage that will be going into a new product.

Creating something new brings great excitement and energy into your life. And creating something new in the Rocky Mountain area, oh, what a thrill.

Before leaving Billings, I wondered if there would be a Classy and Sassy. There was, but I noticed it is permanently closed.

Nothing to worry about because there are so many coffee stations in parking. Lots up here I am astounded. And the even better news is they not only make the polar bear latte, but they do it with organic coffee. Can I have a “hell yes?”

More updates to follow.

Matt Furey

Holy sheet.

I’m currently traveling around Montana and parts of Why-OM-ing, filming 

This morning I was at Lake Elmo State Park in Billings. Nice and serene. Yesterday I took the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway through to get a look at Bear Tooth Mountain. Absolutely gorgeous.

Along the way I stopped to shoot clips of myself exercising in front of snow-capped mountains. ‘Twas a grand idea, until I heard the wind whipping me to and fro – as well as the BEAR AWARE signs.

I don’t want to tell you too much just yet about this new product. But I will tell you this: It will be the next level for my current grand slam, Power Postures.

As for those of you who’ve already jumped in the pool and taken advantage of the Power Postures course, I am truly grateful. Thank you so much. 

Now I’m left wondering if I should grant those who have not yet ordered another brief opportunity at the current amount – before it SURGES. 

And the answer is a redounding… YES. 

The amount to get involved has already gone up three times – and it will again, but there’s still time to take advantage of this HUGE offering.

Jump on this NOW, my friend.

Go to Power Postures and begin RECHARGING your mind-body.

Heal your aches and pains FAST with this energetic medicine.

It’s 2:13 AM.

I got my late-night sauna in and when I returned home, Zhannie greeted my daughter, Faith, and me with a huge “Happy Birthday” hug.

[Yes, Faith and I share the same birthday.]

Anyway, after bestowing gifts upon both of us, I sat for a spell to do some reading.

And then an email came in.

I got so pumped when I saw it.

It’s from a Cincinnati lad, who has me beat, so far, in the birthday game. I figure he’s six or so years ahead.

Anyway, here’s what the bloke wrote:

Matt,

I’ve been working out since I was 18 years old.

I wasn’t much of an athlete while growing up.

But early in college I embraced fitness training (for life) via weights, bodyweight exercise and being very conscious of what I ate.

Fast-forward 47 years. For most of these years, I worked out.

But over the past several years, my elbows would hurt as well as my knees and left shoulder.

So I’d workout for a few weeks and then take a 1-2 week break until I felt better.

No longer – thanks to Power Postures.

No aches. No pains.

I am literally on my feet for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week (I’ve been told we’re walking 17,000 steps a day while at work).

Later in the day I exercise with weights.

Since incorporating Power Postures, my feet are not hurting at the end of the day!

I’m back to exercising with weights as there is no elbow, knee, or shoulder pain. 

What’s the difference?

Power Postures is my DAILY warm-up routine.

I plan to retire in 2049.

Proper nutrition and Power Postures is my physical foundation of being able to do this.

Thanks, Matt

And Happy Birthday.

Ted Leithart

Ted, you are a freaking stud. Way to roll. I’m super happy for you. Getting out of pain, ridding your body of unhealthy energy, and recharging your physical and mental batteries is what it is all about.

Sorry to hear you’re still pumping the iron, but I forgive you due to your kind words.

Matt Furey

IMPORTANT: The fee for the Power Postures course is going up very soon. It’s already waaaaaaaaay under-priced, as the healing benefits are out of this whirld. Click here and get this course NOW.

By the way, I am now officially 60 years of age. Ain’t that sumthun? Help make this my best birthday EVER.

Please.

You’ll be helping yourself out more than me.

Back in the days of Charles Atlas, the story goeth that Angelo Siciliano, which was Atlas’ real name, used to go to the gym three times per week to TEST his strength.

How did he test his strength?

With barbells and dumbbells.

Well, you might wonder how el Furecat tests his strength.

I test it by throwing people around, or whacking them.

I have a friend, Dale, who is a master of Iron Palm and Iron Body.

You can hit hit as hard as you want and he feels nothing. You don’t even make a dent – much less get him to say
OUCH.

Well, ole Furecat can now hit Dale hard enough to not only redden his skin, but leave him inexplicably
tired hours after the training.

And believe me, that is NO easy accomplishment.

Dale is an azz-kicker. He’s been taking hits, kicks and  punches for a long, long time.

I never thought I would see the day where I would hit him and he would acknowledge feeling something.

That’s one way I test my strength – or, more accurately, my power.

There’s one more way I test myself. It’s on the monkey bars.

The last time I used them was three weeks ago.

I worked them last night, and it was a breeze. I went forward, then backward on them without stopping or missing a beat.

‘Twas so easy I could have continued, but I had already gathered enough evidence.

What have I been doing for my workouts?

I’ve been doing exercises that may appear  to have no strength benefit.

I do so-called rinky-dink spiraling, coiling and rotational movements. I practice internal martial arts.

And I stand still in a number of Power Postures.

That’s it.

All of it.

And yet I’m growing stronger. At almost 60 freaking years of age.

I will be 60 mañana.

Hmm. Maybe el Furecat’s advice is worth following after all. 

Indeed, it IS.

These are just two of the reasons I am telling you to twist and twirl, then stand
with me each day in the Power Postures.

These internal exercises will make a BELIEVER out of you, whether you BELIEVE me or not.

Matt Furey

Important: I’m hiking the price on Power Postures after my birthday. It will go UP quite a bit as it is WAAAAAAAAY ​​​​under-priced.

You’ve been forewarned.

I saw this guy with computer neck posture, also known as cell-phone neck.

Ya know, the forward droop. Reminds you of a creature in a Dr. Seuss book.

Riding along with this man’s poor posture, were his irritating buddies: Mr. Sore Shoulder, Mr. Hurt Hip and Mr. Knock Knees.

And these irritators weren’t the end of the line. A few other gremlins also affected him, namely foot and ankle pain.

Then there was the most embarrassing of them all – the one that affected his MANHOOD.

The man figured he could solve all these problems with meds, a change in diet and an hour of cardio each day.

He was reluctant to believe me when I told him to stand still, to grow roots, to branch out. But in a moment of desperation he was willing to give my system a whirl.

Three months later, I couldn’t believe the change in him, even though I already knew how much it would help him.

No more computer neck. No more shoulder pain.

The pain in his hip was almost gone. He was astonished.

But then he mentioned the BIG ONE.

I thought this might be a let down.

Yet, it wasn’t. It was an UPPER.

Why? Because the man is waking up each morning with wood in his MANHOOD.

He’s ecstatic. I AM, TOO.

Gimme some of that, you say. I hear you.

Get involved with my Power Postures program NOW.

It’s the game-changer you’ve been searching for.

It kicks ass and – takes names.

Matt Furey

IMPORTANT: I’ll be turning an azz-kicking 60 in a couple days. I thought about having a sale to celebrate. And then I got to thinking, ya know, my products are already under-priced, especially when you consider how much they transform peoples’ lives. So instead of lowering the price on Power Postures for my birthday, I’m almost positive that I am going to raise it. The race is on. Get this program at the current fee or pay extra when your pain is unbearable.

Before you get “offended,” give me a few seconds of your time.

What do I mean, “You don’t have a body?”

It’s simple. So, so freakin simple.

Your body is MORE than a bag of bones and muscles.

All your tendons, ligaments, bones, muscles and organs are part of an ENERGY FIELD. Most of what you think of as solid matter isn’t solid at all.

If you break a bone, what causes it to heal?

Why is this important?

It’s important because most people look in the mirror and find fault with their appearance. I got too much of this and too little of that.

Nearly everyone has negative thoughts and feelings about his or her appearance. Yet, hardly anyone bothers to ask, “What quality of energy do I have in my body today?”

If you think you’re too skinny or too fat, you’ll probably still think the same no matter how much you improve your appearance. The anorexics and bulimics aren’t the only ones who cannot see themselves accurately.

So how do you transcend this thinking about your appearance?

You do so by focusing on upgrading your level of ENERGY.

Doing so is easier than you might currently imagine.

The other day I was coaching a young man who was exhausted physically. I worked with him for 30 minutes, engaging him in the coiling, twisting, spiraling and wavelike movements I teach in my Power Postures course. He couldn’t believe how much better he felt doing these simple exercises.

Then I had him stand still in a specific position for five minutes. Within 30 seconds he said, “My hands are buzzing.”

“Correct,” I replied. “That’s the proof you’re tapped in and turned on. That’s the proof that you’re not just a bag of bones. Your body is electric.”

After the first posture, I guided him through a couple others, and when we finished, he had a spring and pep in his step that his hadn’t experienced before. EVER!

EXPERIENCING is the SECRET.

You can theorize and ruminate all day, but it isn’t until you FEEL what I’m talking about that you get it.

If you want to eliminate feelings of fatigue, pain and injury, then turn the keys to ignite and transform your body into the energy field it already is. The difference is that instead of carrying around a low-grade energy field, yours is now a high-testesterone type of fuel.

You’ll be bouncing off the earth instead of getting sucked down into it.

YES! Gimme some of that.

Power Postures truly kick ass –

and take names.

Matt Furey

When the i-phones came out in 2007, I quickly noted that when I sent an email to someone, the words “sent from my i-phone” showed on the screen. 

I quickly changed the text to “eye-phone,” which has garnered plenty of laughs ever since. 

Then the eye-phone came out with Siri – which is Iris spelled backwards. Interesting, eh?

And then there were the APPS. Tons and tons of APPS. Some of them useful – many of them incredible time-wasters, distractions and detractors from normal everyday life, much less a life wherein you rise above the herd. 

And this is why, when I workout, I keep my eye-phone in another room, completely out of sight. I am away from calls, text messages, beeps, blips and reminders.

When the eye-phone is away from me, I am free. 

Now let me tell you, this morning’s training was an absolute azz-kicking eye-phoneless workout.

It went on and on and on. I was in a whirld* of my own. A universe unto itself.

I had no idea how long I had been training, and that my friend, is a good thing. A superbly good thing. 

What was my workout?

It was an assortment of whirling, coiling, spiraling, figure-8’s and rotational movements for every joint in my body. I cover a good many of these movements in my Power Postures course – which just so happens to be the BEST course of its kind anywhere in the galaxy.

I don’t just do a few reps of each exercise. I do as many as it takes for every joint in my body to feel freakin’ GRRRRREEEAAAAAAATTTTT!

Here’s why I champion these whirling, coiling, spiraling exercises:

1. They increase blood circulation to the joints and sinews. You’ll know this is true when your hands and feet are HOT and tingly.

2. They remove stagnant energy from the joints that leads to and causes pain.

3. Once the stagnant energy is flushed from the joints, you feel the positive effects of enhanced qi (vital energy) flow. 

4. When the blood and qi are moving better, you feel good. If you already feel good, you feel great. And if you already felt great, you now feel fantastic.

5. When all your joints feel loose and supple, you are naturally stronger, quicker and more flexible.

6. You tap into the feeling of “effortless effort” – another el Furecatism I coined many eons ago. 

7. You become more flexible even though you’re not “stretching” in the traditional sense.

​​​​​​​8. You strengthen the tendons, ligaments and other connective tissue, which are key to keeping pain as far away as humanly possible.

9. It bears repeating – these exercises “help your body heal itself” by flushing pain from the body.

Some of these exercises are easy while others are challenging.

But it’s not simplicity or difficulty we are after. Kicking azz is what we are going for.

These whirling exercises alone can be your workout. Or you can do five-to-eight of them as a warmup or primer before you engage in any other activity.

Skipping these exercises is a big mistake. I know this from experience.

That experience has taught me to continually show up for Spring Training, no matter how long I’ve been in the pros.

If I skip the Spring Training exercises before I train, my body pays for it.

Help your body do its job. It wants to eliminate your joint pain NOW.

Give it the exercises it craves.

Those exercises are in the Power Postures course.

Follow my routine in this course so you will…

Kick Ass and Take Names!
