Yesterday afternoon I went to see Rocky Balboa with

my wife and son. It is the sixth movie in the Rocky series,

and apparently, the last.

I took my son so he could see the training scenes as well

as the fight. Although he’s only six, he’s already showing

great interest in sports and physical training – and this is

not due to me pushing him or shoving the idea down his

throat.

For example, I rarely watch professional football, baseball or

basketball anymore. A lot of times the Super Bowl and World

Series don’t even interest me. I wasn’t this way when I was

a youngin – but I am now.

Yet, despite the lack of interest in most sports today, my son

is a fanatic. He watches football every Sunday – knows every

team – even called me when I was in China – at 5:30 a.m. – to

let me know that the Colts lost yet again.

We were recently given tickets to see the Bucs play in their final

game this year, and the boy is ecstatic.

Anyway, I figured Rocky Balboa would be a great movie for Frank;

especially in terms of motivation; of not giving up when life whacks

you.

10 minutes into the movie, however, Frank is asking, “Daddy, when are

they going to fight?”

Five minutes later he is lying sideways in his chair … sleeping. Don’t blame

him.

He did, however wake up before the training began, and the boxing match – and

he got very excited. I did, too, in spite of the fact that Rocky’s training regime, for

the most part, was absolutely the worst imaginable fitness program for a 60-year

old former champion to follow.

The uphill sprints were great. So were the sprints up stairs. Punching the heavy bag

was spot on – and slugging the frozen cattle carcass was perfect.

Other than that, though, with the exception of some pushups – most of the training

involved Rocky doing heavy barbell squats, heavy bench presses, power cleans,

the clean and jerk, and so on. It was riveting. It was exciting to watch. But it is the

wrong way to train for boxing. It most assuredly is the wrong way to train for a

man in his 50’s and 60’s.

Stallone gets away with it, it appears, yet the varicose veins in his shoulder and pecs,

a rare sight on any man, and certainly something you never see on a man who trains

with his own bodyweight, make me wonder what price he is paying in pain to appear

“fit.”

I admire the fact that Stallone has kept himself lean and mean – but I also know the

influence on training behavior a movie like this can have, and in my opinion, it’s

sending the wrong message.

In a couple shots Rocky was using a kettlebell, and I thought that was pretty cool even

though I’m not a big fan of them. They’re definitely a better choice than heavy barbells.

What was funny to me was how Rocky’s trainer told him that he couldn’t spar because

of all the calcium deposits and arthritis in his joints, he couldn’t do road work because

he had bad knees – then you see Rocky running and lifting heavy weights. Since when

does someone with calcium deposits and arthritis train with heavy barbells?

Dumb.

In spite of the above, overall I liked the movie and give it a thumbs up. So does my

wife. The fight scene at the end was awesome – kept my pupils enlarged the whole

time.

Even though Frank snoozed through part of it, he liked it too. Evenso, I think he’s much

more into Star Wars, Sponge Bob and Eragon.

Imagine you had a visualization technique that never

fails to produce the positive result you want.

If you did, what would that technique be worth to you?

If you ask me, I’d say you could not put a “true” price

tag on it.

The truth is everyone has a way of picturing what he

wants that never fails. You also have a way of talking

to yourself that never fails.

And each time you use your “never fails me” technique,

a powerful force takes hold of you and without even

realizing it, or seemingly trying, you are catapulted onto

success.

The trouble is, if you’re like most people, you’re unconscious

of what your most powerful visualization. You’re also unaware

of your most potent self-talk.

Yet, all this can change, if you’ll take the time to explore the

inner space of your mind. It is one thing to explore outer space,

your external world; yet, in order to change your self, you need

to strike a balance between external and internal focus. The most

successful people on earth have that balance. They observe their

results. They observe what is going on outside of themselves – but

they also understand that YOUR LIFE is like a Super Computer. What

shows up on the monitor is what you punch into the keyboard.

I happen to be someone who truly knows what my “never fails me”

visualization is. I use it to eliminate procrastination. I use it to inject

unstoppable enthusiasm into my veins. I use it to achieve the results

I want, whether they are physical or financial. I’ve used it to win a

world championship, to write a best-seller, to earn a fortune, to meet

and marry the woman of my dreams, to travel the world, to speak, to

to sell and to communicate effectively.

And I’m going to teach it to you on the Amazing Meditations and Visualizations

CD that comes as part of your subscription to the Psycho-Cybernetics Success

Group.

If you’re already enrolled, your next package will go out December 28. If you’re

not already enrolled, I suggest you make a shift for the better and get on the

program.

Men and women from all over the world are raving about the positive results they are

getting from this program. I’d like to see you celebrating one success after another,

too.

So go to http://www.psycho-cybernetics.com/success_group.html and enroll NOW.

The Psycho-Cybernetics Success Group will change your life – guaranteed.

Matt Furey

P.S. I’ll be speaking about Psycho-Cybernetics and how it applies to health and weight

loss at my February 2007 Health and Fitness Seminar. For more information go to

http://www.mattfurey.com/007_fitness_bootcamp.html

Think of an athlete for a moment. Before he practices he

puts on a different set of clothes. And on the day of a big game,

he puts on a uniform.

The champions often have certain “lucky” socks or shoes that they

wear – and the mere act of putting these on helps catapult them into

a successful state of mind.

A surgeon is no different. He has his typical everyday doctor geat – but

before performing a surgery he goes to a scrub room, washes his hands

and arms extra good, then puts on different clothes.

Dr. George Thurber, who performed Lasik eye surgery on me back in August,

told me that just as he watched videos of judo matches the night before a

tournament, he watches video of surgery the night before he does Lasik. He

does this to make sure he is mentally ready for “game day.”

Think of this idea for a moment. Do you have “practice” clothes; clothes you

wear when you are practicing and working on becoming a professional human

being? Do you have “game day” clothes; clothes you put on when it is time

for the moment of truth?

When I’m in China I often notice that the best tai chi players are always dressed

in silk. The students who haven’t quite gotten serious yet are usually dressed in

normal workout gear. There are few exceptions to this observation.

Now, some of the people who are practicing tai chi have been doing so for years –

yet that doesn’t mean they’re serious about the training. Time involved in an activity

is not the same as time devoted to an activity. Being active is very different

from being devoted.

Some months ago I spoke of my desire to learn to play the saxophone. I haven’t begun

yet – but it is on my list. One thing is for sure, when I begin to play, I will go all out – not

halfway.

Here is he evidence: A friend of mine gave a saxophone teacher he knows my email

address. The man wrote me and said that he had a “used” saxophone I could practice

on.

Big mistake.

When I get involved in something, whether it is a sport, a martial art, or learning to play

a musical instrument, I do NOT want a “used” instrument – unless it’s the instrument used

by somebody famous – and in that case I would put it away for safe keeping.

A used instrument – in almost all cases, is an instrument used by those who quit, who

gave up, who were not devoted. It has that sort of energy written all over it. I don’t

want any part of that. I want my own instrument that I can infuse with devotion and

care.

Whilst in China I spoke with a lady whose father teaches people how to play the

saxophone. I asked her if he gives new students used instruments to play with.

“Oh no,” she said. “They must get their own.”

Any instrument you use when you practice is also part of your success clothing.

It’s not necessary that you invest in the most expensive instrument – but I do

think it’s important to practice with something that is owned by YOU.

When you don special clothes and practice with instruments you own, you create a

mental framework for success. Once you have the framework for success you can

create the circumstances of success. The two are closely tied.

Putting on professional clothes, whether at work or at home in private, becomes an

act of devotion, an action that tells your subconscious mind that you are different,

that you are somebody – and that you’re a person to watch.

Best,

Matt Furey

P.S. In the December issue of the Psycho-Cybernetics Success Group newsletter and

CD, you’re going to learn how to relax more and create greater success than you ever

imagined. Not only that, but I teach you a high power visualization that has never failed

me. If you’re a person who procrastinates, this simple visualization will obliterate that

habit instantly. Be sure to put an order in NOW so you don’t miss this very important

issue. Go to http://www.psycho-cybernetics.com/success_group.html and order NOW.

I took the red-eye home from Los Angeles last night – didn’t

sleep a wink, either. Enjoyed spending the time thinking about

and making plans for 2007.

Part of those plans involves continually ramping up the value of

being a Matt Furey Inner Circle.

For example, in the December newsletter and CD that just went out,

I reveal a HUGE secret about a fruit you can eat that the Chinese

people say works as well as the “little blue pill.”

This simple fruit that grows throughout the world in great abundance.

And let me tell you, when you use this super-food properly, i.e. you

drink it juiced, you can almost immediately transform yourself into a

world class lover. It is absolutely unreal – and fast.

Not only that but this secret power food also helps eliminate swollen

prostate, reduces risk of prostate cancer, heart disease and other forms

of cancer, improves skin tone, helps you quickly reduce weight,

improves cardiac function, regulates blood sugar levels, and so on.

This IS a powerful secret, indeed.

Again, all current subscriber’s newsletters and CDs were mailed out on

the 17th and 18th of this month, but if you’re not yet subscribed – well

then, you won’t receive the secret unless you get with the program that

is changing thousands of lives throughout the world.

To find out WHAT this secret tonic is, you’ll want to immediately enroll in

the Matt Furey Inner Circle. Right now I have room for only 127 new

members – so jump on this offer NOW to make sure you’re not left out in the

cold.

P.S. In case you’re wondering about jet lag and whether or not I have it after

a long plane ride, the answer is “no.” I’ll reveal why and how in a future issue

of the Matt Furey Inner Circle newsletter.

Twas just sitting in a restaurant in a Los Angeles hotel,

minding my oneness, and in walk a male and femaile

couple. The lady has slightly lumpy over-sized breasts

and a massive and very ugly tattoo on her lower back.

The man looks normal – wearing nothing more than a

pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a Michigan ball cap.

I looked up momentarily to see all of this – and immediately

I hear the background voice in my mind saying, “There’s a

couple por-no stars.”

I look up once again as the couple slides into seats at the table

right next to me. Except for the lower back tattoo and lumpy

knockers, the couple looks typical. Attractive – but typical.

I can’t help but take a quick glance to my right as something

feels different in the air. Sure enough, I begin to recognize

who is sitting next to me. They’re the same couple shown in

an advertisement sent to me by mail, wherein I am told I can

have the hot, seksy body of a por-no star – as well as the virility

of this ultra-performance male, who just so happens to still be a

star well into his 40’s.

I laughed mighty hard when I read the ad. Even saved the thing in

a file as an example to show at future seminars if things ever get

dull (they never do at my events).

Naturally, the key to this 40-something male’s virility had nothing to

do with exercise or diet – and everything to do with a pill he swallows.

In China there are many pills and potions for enhancing both male and

female pleasure. Many of the Chinese formulas go back thousands of

years; and one of the reasons for their popularity is the fact that the

emperors (who had thousands of wives), needed them. And so, what

was good enough for the emperor was good enough for others.

There are many exercises, foods and herbs that help to enhance virility.

Along with Master Zhang DiYi, I teach them in our Chuang Shang de Gong

Fu course – http://www.chineseculturesecrets.com

And yes, they work. Even if you’re not a por-no star.

One of the most amazing aphrodisiacs is a simple fruit that grows throughout

the world in great abundance. I reveal what that fruit is in my December CD

that comes as part of your Matt Furey Inner Circle membership. And let me tell

you, when you use this super-food properly, i.e. you drink it juiced, you can

almost immediately transform yourself into a world class lover. It is absolutely

unreal – and fast.

All newsletters and CDs were mailed out on the 17th and 18th of this month, so

quick message to all subscribers – they are on the way.

But if you’re not yet subscribed – well then, you won’t receive the secret unless

you get with the program that is changing thousands of lives throughout the

world.

Oh, just so you know, this secret power food also helps reduce risk of heart

disease and cancer, improves skin tone, helps you quickly reduce weight,

improves cardiac function, regulates blood sugar levels, and so on. In China

they say it is just as powerful as that “little blue pill.”

I happen to agree.

Anyway, to find out WHAT this secret seks tonic is, you’ll want to immediately

enroll in the Matt Furey Inner Circle. Right now I have room for only 163 new

members – so jump on this offer NOW to make sure you’re not left out in the

P.S. Special thanks to Christian Winter who instantly responded to my urgent

request yesterday for a partner in the photo shoot I had this morning. He

turned out to be the perfect guy to demonstrate on. Big thanks to the dozens

of you who called or emailed showing your desire to help. I sincerely appreciate

your thinking of me.

I’m back from China and staying in a wonderful

hotel for a few days in Los Angeles. Have a couple

photo shoots to do, then I’m back to Florida.

The flight home was, for the most part great – with

one MAMMOTH exception. Sitting across the aisle from

me in first class, was an elephant.

First class on a Chinese airline is wonderful. You get to

lie completely flat, so getting a good rest is easy. The

food is generally much better and you receive great

service.

There are only 8 seats in first class; probably about 40

for business class. So space and AIR is generally not an

issue. Normally I get to sit in blissful reverie. I don’t usually

sleep much as I enjoy the movies in my mind as I contemplate

the wonderful and relaxing trip I just completed.

Well, THIS ride home was a bit challenging, even for a Zen

Master.

Across from me was a bearded man with a waistline around the

60-inch mark. And that’s probably an underestimation. With all

the excess weight he’s carrying around, he’s not exactly a ball

of energy. So the first thing he did on board the plane was fall

asleep.

That would normally be a good thing – and I suppose it was for

HIM. Yet is was a bit challenging for me.

First thing the phat phuuk did was begin snoring. And I mean

LOUD snoring. He snored above and beyond the humm of the

plane and the music playing in the background.

Next thing you know the man began to phart. Not loud pharts

either. He preferred the silent-but-deadly sort. There I was,

doing my deep breathing exercises – then all of a sudden a

stink bomb fills the space. I pulled my zipped up jacket over

my nose and prayed for mercy.

After an hour I began to notice that the elephant began to stink,

in general, like a wild animal. His entire body reeked with foul

odors.

I began to imagine how the entire scenario gave me something

good to write about – this always turns a negative into a positive.

Then things got even better.

The phat phuuk rolled over on his stomach; the absolute worst

sleep position, yet probably the only one that he would not snore.

Yippee.

An hour later I see his right hand grasp the privacy railing that separates

the seats from each other, even if they’re across the aisle. I wonder to

myself if he is dreaming about putting his arm around someone as he

sleeps. His hand creeps further up the railing and he begins to grip more

forcefully. What is this man doing? I think.

Next thing I know the man is trying to get up. He’s trying to come to the

kneeling position in his seat/bed.

After about a minute he manages to get off his belly. He stands in the aisle,

his shirt untucked, his hair messed, i-pod speakers in his ears. He lifts his

shirt a bit, presumably to tuck it in. He might as well have mooned me because

I see almost the entire crack of his arse.

But he doesn’t tuck his shirt in. I guess he was only airing himself out.

He asks the flight attendant where the bathroom is. She steps back and

motions with her arm.

He stumbles down the aisle.

My deep breathing exercises take on a whole new life.

20 minutes later elephant man returns from the toilet. He looks at his bed

for several minutes; his back to me. I wonder what is taking him so long

to get back in his seat. I got my answer a minute later when he rocked

back and forth and threw himself into his bed. El phat phuuk literally

could not crawl into his space; that’s how much lard he had.

The snoring and pharting began once again.

I took out my yellow pad and made note of all the reasons you don’t

want to be a phat phuuk.

#1. You can’t move very well.

#2. You stink. Your body gives off a foul odor.

#3. Your joints are in pain.

#4. You have no energy.

#5. You snore so loud no one can sleep within 50 yards of you.

#6. You phart.

#7. Your arteries are clogged.

#8. You look terrible in clothes, regardless of how expensive or

well-tailored they are.

#9. You appear to others as unintelligent. Not necessarily so – yet if

you look at the movies, phat phuuk are almost always portrayed as

stupid.

#10. You send off “fear of life” signals. The extra phat represents emotional

security.

There are more reasons – but I think you get the point. Going through life

overweight is no damn good. You didn’t arrive on this planet as a slob and

I think it is best you don’t exit early because you have become one.

Sure, my words my sound harsh and insensitive to those who want to be

coddled about their obesity – yet the facts of the matter is this: MANY of the

members in the Matt Furey Inner Circle have, because of my rampages, enrolled

and made big changes..

Pounds fly off. Energy and limberness take hold. Confidence grows.

This happens when you begin following the Fureyous Fitness lifestyle. I teach

you how in my books and DVD’s – yet the constant and guiding support that

will help you the most is via membership in my Inner Circle.

Be sure to take a serious look at becoming a member. Whether you’re phat or

phit, there is much to be learned from the information I put forth.

Plus, as an added bonus, for ALL members, current and enrolling NOW – I am

going to do a LIVE teleseminar on the all-new Furey Fat Loss Program. This

teleseminar will take place in January of 2007. It will be huge. So enroll in the

MFIC now to make sure you’re on the line.

I’m only accepting another 198 members from this exact offer – so jump on this

NOW and make sure you start 2007 with a BANG.

Little does she know that my Combat Streatching won’t let that happen.

Just looked through the pics from my latest beating,

er – massage, here in China. The 100-pound lady put

me through the paces, cracking my neck, back, ankles,

knees, hips – anything that will pop.

At the end of the three-hour session she put me through

a series of stretches, and because I was feeling exceptionally

loosey-goosey, I told her to take me to another dimension.

As you look at this photo of me being twisted into a reverse

bridge, think of it as a metaphor for expanding your Universe.

Take in more of the good life. Let go of fear, self-doubt, worry,

pity, anger, despair and depression.

Let go of the past and move into the future with passion, power

and purpose.

Stretch yourself to a new dimension. Go where you’ve never gone

before.

I’ll help guide you – if you’ll let me. When you’re a member of the

P.S. You can also take a look at my comprehensive program of

newsletters in health, fitness, marketing and mind power by going

to http://www.knockoutmarketing.com

Lt. Colonel Robert Schutz just put up a superb post on the disccusion

board for Matt Furey Inner Circle members.

He gave the details on how he accomplished his feat of 100,000 Hindu

squats in one year. While those details are confidential, I will

reveal a few things the good Colonel had to say about Combat Conditioning and

what it will do for you. See his comments below:

Hey Matt, Your email today brought back a lot of memories of my 100,000

Hindu Squat year of 2005. Ever since you put that up on your website,

I get at least a few emails a week from Marines asking if I am that guy;

they look me up in our global listing and shoot me an email. The questions are

always the same, “How did you do it – Does Furey’s stuff really work?” I

always tell them the same thing, “Just do them – EVERY DAY, and yes it really

works.”

The squats got to be routine, just like brushing your teeth. Just get

them done. but I NEVER became complacent with them. I came to recognize that it

is a healthy habit that is easier done, and done well, rather than wasting the

effort required to make excuses and avoid doing them. Along the way you also come to

realize that the repetition is not boring or dull, but stimulating and teaches you

mental focus in a way that the occasional all out effort can not.

There were some variations in the monthly totals due the fact that

some days operational commitments just did not allow me to exercise – there was

still a war to fight and a Squadron to run, and that always came first.

Fitness is to help you maintain your focus and keep you fit for those things that

require being done, not the other way around.

Overall, I missed very few days, (9 to be exact) from start to

finish. Lastly, I did miss a few days in June do to a very nasty case of salmonella

poisoning. Amazingly, other than that I was not sick a single day in Iraq. Do ya

think that the consistent exercise and deep breathing that go with the Hindus

had anything to do with keeping my immune system tuned-up and keeping me healthy –

I do!

A few facts about working out there. I did almost every single

workout outside. The extremes in temperature ranged from 118* in the summer to 28* in

the early morning of the winter months. I worked out in a large maintenance

tent we set up out front of our barracks that serves as the unit’s gym. There is no

air conditioning and no heat, but we did have a nice industrial fan, and temps in the

tent hovered around 105* for a normal day from May through early September.

I addition to the Hindu Squats, I set a goal of 20 chin-ups while

wearing my basic combat gear – that is uniform, boots, helmet, Interceptor vest with

armor plates, pistol, first aid pouch, knife and extra ammo – this all weighs in at

around 42 pounds. It took me 8 months to attain, and I could already do 26 dead hang

chin-ups when I started the effort.

Matt, I am Marine Corps Black Belt Martial Arts Instructor. I taught

two 14 week martial arts classes while we were out there. I always stress to the

Marines that there is more to aerobic conditioning than running. In fact, it is in

my opinion one of the poorest modalities for achieving combat fitness.

I have no beef with those who wish to run because they enjoy it, but

I know there are more effective ways to get really fit. Trust me the Marines here

have all become very acquainted with Hindu Squats and push-ups, but bear crawls,

grasshoppers, crab crawls and duck walks have forever changed their minds on the

effectiveness of body weight exercises.

I have lent my Combat Condition and Combat Abs book out more times

than I can remember over the last couple of years, and without exception all

those Marines who have made these exercises the focus of their training, instead of

running and lifting big weights, have came back and told me how much better off they are

for it.

That about wraps it up Matt. I guess everyone is wondering if I kept

up the effort this year. The answer is yes, but I did not count them like last

year. I will be headed back to Iraq very early in 2007. I am not sure what the goal will be

for the upcoming year, but does the term ‘handstand push-up’ mean anything to ya? I

have not set a hard and fast goal for them, but I will in the next week or so before

we leave.

Thanks for the great books, and newsletters and putting the truth out

there.

Train hard, do what is right and remember, “Without a vision the

people shall perish.”

Semper Fi & God Bless,

Bob

P.S. At the 2007 bootcamp I’m going to be presenting all-new

information that is going to blow your mind – and I’m going to be introducing you to

nearly one dozen other high-power fitness and health czars. Come learn from all of us

in 007. Go to http://www.mattfurey.com/007_fitness_bootcamp.html and enroll NOW.

If you’ve ever visited Shanghai and gone into

a store by yourself to pay for something, you may

have encountered a “rudeness” that I’ve never

encountered anywhere else in the world – even in

other places in China.

As you’re standing “first-in-line” at the counter with

cash in your hand – someone will come up from behind,

hand his money over your shoulder, put his items in front

of yours and begin mumbling in Shanghainese to the cashier,

who speaks back in the same dialect.

The first time this happens you can’t believe what is going on

and you don’t understand it. And while you’re still in a state of

confusion, a second person, and a third, and a fourth, repeats

the same behavior.

And the cashier deals with the second, third, fourth and so on

the same was as she dealt with the first person. Meanwhile,

you’re still standing there waiting for some service.

This situation first happened to me in 1998 – and let me tell

you, I was so angry about it that I swore to my wife that I

will never go back to Shanghai.

Eventually I dropped the grudge and when preparing for the

next trip, I asked myself what I could do to stymie this situation

in the future. I formed a mental image of what to do next time

around – and when it happened, instead of fuming, I gave a

mean, sideward glance at the offender, raised my voice loudly

and said, “Deng yi deng.” This means ‘wait a second.”

When I did this the man budging ahead immediately apologized,

smiled and patiently waited for the cashier to finish with me.

Sounds so simple, I know – yet nine years ago my way of handling

this situation was one-fold: piss, moan and complain.

While here on Hainan Island, I like to go to the sauna most every

day. In the locker room is a scale, and I like to check my weight

before and after using the sauna.

The towel boys who work in the lockeroom, handing you your keys,

putting away your clothes, bringing you water, and so on, like to check

my weight too. Even if they’re 20 feet away, as soon as I step on the

scale, three or four workers will immediately sprint to see how much the

American weighs.

This, once again, used to drive me insane. That’s what happens when

you’re unresourceful and have a one-way strategy for dealing with rude

people. You just fume and go insane.

Well, like the cashier in the store scenario, I pictured what to do next time it happened. No whining. No moaning or groaning.

As soon as the sprint begins I step off the scale, look the men in the eyes and say, “Guan ni de pisha.” This means, as you may have guessed, “Mind your own business.”

Again, apologies pour forth.

Since using this strategy, the locker boys stopped their sprinting to look at the scale.

And that makes me happy.

The point of both of these stories is that no matter where you are in the world, if you’re moving around and about, you’re going to meet someone who is being rude to you – at least by YOUR standards. You can stand there and

take it – and silently fume. Or you can figure out a way to let the offender know how you expect to be treated.

We get treated in life they way we let others treat us. We can choose to change how others treat us – but first we need to figure out resourceful ways to communicate more effectively.

Now, you may think I used anger to handle the offenders. Fact is I

used the “image” of anger. I practiced the image and the words in my mind – then let

them out. Yet, just as an actor on a stage plays a part – so did I in the two

situations just mentioned. I got what I wanted and in turn this kept me in a happy, resourceful state. Yet, if I pouted and complained – I’d have nothing.

Keep this in mind when you go about your day. Have more than one way

of dealing with situations – and make sure it has something to do with a facial

expression and a few choice words.
