If you haven’t gotten your taxes done yet and

you’re concerned about the cost, here’s a quick

and easy option for you to consider.

The fastest and most economical way under the

sun to get your taxes done is to file them electronically.

It’s safe. It’s secure and I just happen to know an accountant

with a nearly fool proof way of getting your taxes in to Uncle

Sam with a minimum of hassles. And it will cost you far less

than visiting your local accountant who charges huge fees.

This means the value of the check you get back from the

government goes up because you didn’t pay a fortune to

get your taxes done – and you got them done the right

way the very first time.

The man I want you to meet is Gary Adams. He’s already

helped hundreds of thousands of mom n pops save big

bucks each year by filing their taxes e-lec-tronically.

I’ve set up a special link through my website to make

it easy to find him – http://mattfurey.com/taxes.html

Gary’s site is one of the very few sites trusted by the IRS to

handle online tax submissions. It has the highest level of

security and offers help if you have any problems submitting

your work.

I’ve known Gary Adams for several years now and his website

processes hundreds of thousands of tax returns each year.

His record is impeccable.

With his formula, you save a ton of time and moohlah and get

the job with a minimum of hassle.

So head on over to http://mattfurey.com/taxes.html and get

your taxes done online this time around. I’m betting you’ll be

glad you did – especially if you’re expecting a big fat

check.

The other day I received an email from a 48-year

old man who complained of not being able to move

his bowels on a regular basis.

“The machine isn’t working the way it used to. Maybe

I need some lubrication,” he wrote. “Any exercises you

recommend for this situation. Or is this just something

I have to live with.”

The answer: No, this is not something you have to live

with. Here is what you do:

1. Make a decision that you will regain healthy bowel

function.

You may think this an unnecessary step – yet I assure

you that trying to solve this issue without making a

decision to replace it with something better, leaves the

door wide open for a repeat performance of bad times.

2. Pay attention to the foods that are clogging your

pipes. Pizza, pasta, white flour, pastries, breads,

beans and other starches are often times interfering

with regularity.

3. Consume more fruits, vegetables and other high-

fiber foods.

4. Drink plenty of water.

5. Practice deep breathing exercises – especially those

in which you combine abdominal flexing with the breathing.

To learn how to do this properly, be sure to pick up a copy of

Combat Abs – http://mattfurey.com/combat_abs.html –

wherein I teach the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener and

another exercise that helps blowtorch excise flab from your

waistline while also greatly improving your digestion.

People who thought I was joking about “the toilet” before

doing these exercises were totally surprised after they

tried them. Doing the deep breathing exercises in Combat

Abs is like having your hands on “Cosmic Fiber.” And this

type of Fiber can be even more powerful than that which comes

from food.

You cannot exercise your abs the way I teach without

simultaneously giving your innards a deep and thorough

massage. And when your intestines get jostled and massaged,

they perform better – just like the muscles of your body.

There are many other benefits to doing the Farmer Burns

Stomach Flattener – which you can read about in the

1914 by-mail course put out by the Farmer himself, by

going to http://mattfurey.com/farmerburns.html – it’s

part wrestling and part physical culture training – and

the info on the physical culture exercises is still valid

and worth its weight in platinum.

Even if you don’t think you have an issue with moving

your bowels – you may be mistaken. Ask yourself, how

long after each meal do you typically move your bowels.

If you’re not “getting up to go” 30 minutes after your meal,

then you better get your hands on Combat Abs –

http://mattfurey.com/combat_abs.html

Learn how to exercise and breathe in the certain way that

yield results – and your toilet will be back in business.

I don’t know how he pulled this off. It may be the

greatest thing ever heard about for years to come

in the world of copywriting.

Superstar copywriter David Deutsch persuaded 18 of the

world’s greatest copywriters and marketers to join him

NOTHING makes money like great sales copy.

I don’t what is wrong with me but sometimes I

feel absolutely compelled to turn on the idiot

box to see what is going on in the world of

poli-ticks.

And whenever I give in to this temptation, I am

practically guaranteed a round of laughter not

yet matched.

This morning I listened to the latest ramblings

coming from Hillarious Hill-airy.

My goodness, in high heels and a dress, she

sprinted on the runway in Bosnia to avoid

enemy sniper fire – that was at best only

20 miles away. And equally amazing is

that she ran these sprints while listening

to a young child read her a poem. Daughter

Chelsea was with her, too. Both of them were

on a tear as they listened, hugged the child

and kept right on running.

Wow.

With politicians who can work miracles like

Hillarious Hill-airy, it’s easy to understand why

they don’t want God in the schools anymore.

For awhile I thought we needed someone like

the Dalai Lama as president – but even he can’t

work wonders like I’m hearing about on tee-vee.

By the way, there are high-heel races in Europe. Very

popular, too. Some of the lucky women get $1,500.00

for winning and a free exam from a local foot surgeon.

As for O-bomb-ya’s pastor, well, he ain’t coming to

Tampa no mo. He was supposed to speak in the Temple

Terrace area this week – but the local Ku Klux Klan must

have warded him off.

A great many of you have sent me information on Ron

Paul. He does look like my kind of guy. And you know,

being he’s a doctor – it makes me think. Perhaps instead

of a lawyer in the White House, we could use a doctor.

As you know, it’s very, very sick right now. And no one

seems to even know how to take its temperature.

Yes, we’ve had Bush for eight years and he’s not

exactly a lawyer – but he did beat John Kerry, a

lawyer, when they took their I.Q. tests while

in drunken collegiate stupors.

Can’t guarantee both were drunk during the exam,

but Kerry did say he “must have been drunk” – and

we know that Bush WAS drunk most of the time back

in the day. So there goeth the Fure-cat’s logic.

Meanwhile McCain is marching around, looking mighty

powerful as the Dems rip and scrape and tear at each

other over the “race issue” – which was always the card

they played against the elephants. Interesting, isn’t it.

Now you know why I look at ALL of this with a Cheshire

cat grin.

All of these figures are around to keep the world amused.

Yet the masses don’t get it. Instead they get pissed off

and ruin their days over a bunch of hooey, phooey and

pooey. Not me.

If I was worthy of offering advice, I’d say calm down. This

will all blow over in a few days, quickly followed by the next act

in the play.

Oh how I wish I had a candidate amongst the top three

(or four) that I could truly put all my faith and trust in. But

frankly, that’s not going to happen.

This November I think I’m going to practice abstinence. I’m going

to abstain from the sin of voting for President of the United

States.

Instead, I’m going to practice my Sniper Fire Hill Sprints. They

are a variation of what you can read about and follow in my

international best-seller, Combat Conditioning, which also

sells well in Bosnia – http://mattfurey.com/conditioning_book.html

Hill Sprints in and of themselves will get you into fantastic shape.

But if you mentally pretend that snipers are shooting at you as

you run the hill sprints, you’ll run faster and harder. Just don’t

duck while you run. That will hurt your back.

Get Tough,

Matt Furey

P.S. Today is the last day to enroll in my May fitness seminar at

the current fee. After today the amount will go up a bit each and

every day. So jump in NOW while the jumping is GREAT. Go to

http://GetTough.com and put your name on the roster.

Yesterday’s email on the politician’s workout shook up

a few people.

Some wrote to tell me than Ron Paul was the best candidate

as he was the anti-thesis of all the things I don’t like in a

politician.

Others scolded me for my comment about John McCain’s

jaws – forgetting of course that I poked fun of ALL the

candidates – just like MAD Magazine does. Just as THEY

WILL DO whether he wins or loses.

Key thing to remember is that I’d be foolish to NOT think

that ALL the candidates are tough. In fact, politicians are so

tough that I’m sure NONE of them would take one word

of what I wrote about them seriously. If anyone knows

how to laugh at lampooners and critics – it’s a politician –

and there’s a lesson all of us can learn from them.

Most people take a lot of issues seriously but miss the

most important one: YOURSELF.

In order to get what you want in life, you make yourself

your own candidate; you become your own politician. You

vote for yourself. You choose the direction you want to go

in life and then you begin at once to MOVE in the direction

you believe in.

Damn few people do this – and that’s why there are so damn

many failures, losers and wannabees. That’s why we’re a nation

of obese whiners and wimps who think they’re entitled to handouts

right, left and center. You’re not entitled to anything – except

your life – each inhale and exhale – and the thoughts you put

into your mind about what you want or don’t want. Other than

that, you’re on your own.

You make your own breaks. No one is going to save you – other

than YOU. If you’re in a jam and someone comes to help you, it’s

because you laid the foundation for others to help you long before

you got in a jam.

That’s the way I see things.

Now, how about some real health care insurance – not something

doled out.

Well, you can help yourself more than you realize if you follow the

Chinese Long-Life System™.

You begin by learning to massage 3 vital pressure points for 3 minutes

a day. If you’re willing to do this you may live to be 100 in great

health.

Stop worrying about sickness, ill health, old age and death. Follow the

secret Chinese Long-Life System™. So easy to follow virtually everyone

feels the energy flowing faster almost immediately.

Regardless of your age, by massaging three secret pressure points

for a few minutes each day, you can …

Look and Feel Younger Than Your Age

Move With the Energy of a Young Child

Enjoy Super Joint Mobility

Flood Your Body With Energy Anytime You Want

Eliminate Aches and Pains Without Effort or Struggle

Get Fit Without Gyms or Expensive Equipment

Increase Mental Clarity and Alertness

Feel Powerful Instead of Helpless and Weak

P.S. Are you enrolled in my May fitness seminar yet. If

not, you better jump on it. Fees go up tomorrow. Go

to http://GetTough.com and climb aboard NOW.

P.P.S. Who’s the toughest candidate by far. If we use the

past to make our judgments, it’s John McCain. No question

about that. If we base everything on what happens in the

present, we’ll know this coming November.

The other day I was in a restaurant with my

family. Without my knowing, my son wondered

over to check out the idiot box.

He returned a minute later to give me the

political update. Rocky O-bomb-ya was

neck-in-neck with Hell-airy Clinton.

Then there was John Mick Cane flying around

the world – looking, as one commentator said,

“Presidential.” Much better than when he starts

scolding you.

Yes, my friends, poli-ticks these days is mostly

about looks. How many big fat politicians run

for office – much less president. None.

Well, Mick Cane ain’t so slim, especially in his jaws –

looks like he’s storing up for a famine – but he’s

a far cry from Beddy Kennedy – who tossed his

drawers in one time – when he was slim – and that

was it.

John Treadwards, Dennis Coosinitch – even Ralph

Radar – all these people who’ve tried to win it more

than once – none of them are fat.

Even Mike Huckelbee – didn’t have the stomach to

run for president until he dropped a hundred pounds

or so.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, I see George W. bringing

in one of the Manning boys, Eli, to help all the fat people

in America.

George W. says that 65% of Americans are overweight – pauses,

then ad-libs, “That’s too many.”

Naaah.

You gotta love this country, it’s leaders and the one-liners they

come up with.

“That’s too many.”

I’m curious about one thing, though – why aren’t any of these

candidates running. Yes, I mean running up and down the

streets.

I mean, come on. It’s the American way to get elected.

Jimmy C did it in 1976 to beat Ford. Slick Billy did it in 1992

to beat George H.W.

George W. did it to beat Kerry.

And this year – no one is running.

Then again, maybe somebody is but I missed it because I don’t

watch the boob tube.

Let me tell you something, if any of these politicians showed

some real courage, some real guts and did Combat Conditioning

– http://mattfurey.com/conditioning_book.html – the world

would be a lot better off and a lot safer.

That’s my theory. You can have your own theory if you want.

But you already knew that.

Well anyway, better go pick up my son at school and make sure

he does some exercise. Tonight it’ll be a lot of pushups, squats,

bridging and rope climbing.

Make sure you do something today to get leaner – just in case

you ever want to run for president.

Where Are You Now

We’re nearly three months into the New Year.

How far along are you with your health and fitness

goals.

How consistent are you with your routine.

Are you hit and miss – or hit, hit, hit.

I can tell you right now, at least 95% of the people

reading this are NOT on target. Most are dilly-dallying

around.

Very little focus. Very little guts, determination and

resolve.

Easily distracted by every whim and caprice.

No will. No imagination.

Just a bundle of frustration.

And 5% is a generous estimate.

Those who are kicking butt as well as those who really

WANT to march or shoot to the next level of success in their

training – all have one thing in common.

They are going to my fitness seminar this May.

They’re not satisfied with what they’ve attained thus far

and they know one good kick in the ass from me will do

them a lot of good. They also know that multiple kicks

will do even more good.

The worst thing in a person’s life is self-delusion or

fear of looking at the truth about yourself.

Thing is, as soon as you shine the light of truth on

yourself – you are set loose so that you can stretch,

grow, and become all you deeply desire.

Never be satisfied with yourself. Never think you’ve made

it, that you’ve succeeded. That you know enough. That you

know a lot. That you know it all.

Never listen to those who brag about all they’ve read, all

they supposedly know or how there’s nothing new to them

under the sun.

These people are fearful and weak, puffed with false pride

and egotism.

Great men and women know that they never know enough –

that there are secrets on top of secrets on top of secrets.

Great men and women know that anyone who thinks he

knows a lot – knows nothing.

The wise man or woman is focused on WHAT he still has

to learn. In spite of his wisdom and knowledge, he still

possesses a fascination, wonder and inquisitive attitude

toward all he sees. Those who are WISE understand the

exponential value of learning just one new thing – and

how one thing, when properly used, can apply massive

leverage to their life.

There is no such thing as a destination called success.

Success is a journey from one target to the next. Success

is the feeling you experience NOW when you are on that

journey.

It begins from within.

If you think you’ve failed over and over – or if you’re afraid

you are going to fail some more – you are right – if you

continue on the same course you’ve been traveling.

But if you jump up even one inch, you can build a new

set of tracks, a new road to travel – a road that will

give you the results you want. If you take one step

in the direction of what I have to offer you – the journey

toward success will begin for you.

The worst thing in the world is failure to seize an

opportunity to improve yourself. And, my friend, there is

no greater opportunity on this planet at this time than

what I have for store for you in May.

Don’t make excuses – make progress.

Don’t whine – WIN.

Don’t cry – TRY.

Don’t hesitate – ACCELERATE.

Don’t shrink – THINK.

Get yourself into motion. Move. Do something GREAT to

make yourself better.

P.S. Something miraculous is going to happen to you at

this event. I feel it. I know it to be true. Be there and

watch it happen.

Ache of the Day

Lately I’ve been getting more and more emails

about hand, wrist and elbow pain. Today I’ll cover

a recent email about elbow tendonitis and some

exercises to be smart about:

Mr. Furey,

I’ve been training off and on for over 20 years, and

recently after a two-year layoff I started on pull-ups

and rope climbing and my elbows are killing me.

Any idea why and what I can do about it.

Thanks,

Jim

MJF: Jim, most likely you have one of two things going

on. First, when you’re doing pull-ups or chin-ups you’re

not doing a full range of motion. You might be stopping

short of letting your arms gently lockout. This can cause

tendonitis, elbow pain, etc. Ed Baran covers this in the

course we did on Primate Power – you can read about it

at http://mattfurey.com/primate_power.html

Rope climbing can also be brutal on your elbows. The main

reason may be that your muscles are currently stronger than

your tendons – so the imbalance can lead to injury. If this is

the situation, I suggest a couple remedies. First, to combat

the inflammation use a Chinese liniment called Zheng Gu Shui.

You can do a search and find it all over the place. I always have

plenty of supply on hand to remove any soreness I may have in

my joints after a workout.

I also suggest you get my program on eliminating carpal tunnel

syndrome pain within 30 days. In this course there are a number

of exercises for strengthening the tendons of the elbow. You’ll

find them helpful. Order by going to http://carpaltunnelfix.com

Keep me posted on how this works for you.

Get Tough,

Matt Furey

P.S. The Matt Furey Inner Circle special report and DVD are going

May – http://GetTough.com – make sure you enroll NOW to avoid

How To BEAT Back Pain at Work

If you suffer from any type of back pain,

you know that it can make work almost

impossible sometimes – heck, I know of

people who’ve lost their jobs because of it.

So that’s why I wanted to share this great article

with you about how you can “beat back pain at work”.

I hope you find this helpful:- Matt Furey

How to BEAT Back Pain at Work

by Jesse Cannone, CFT, CPRS. MFT

It’s getting to be so bad that by Monday afternoon, you’re

already tired of being at the office. You’re not even thinking

as far ahead as Friday.

In reality, it’s not the folks you work with who are getting

you down – they’re tolerable, mostly, although there is that

one guy in accounting. Where do they find these people?

It’s not even your boss, who, if he knew even half as much as

you do, would be a shoo-in for Executive of the Year.

No, the biggest pain in your neck is actually located a bit

lower. And it’s really what’s making working where you do

seem a lot worse than it actually is.

Face it. It’s your aching back that’s sucking the joy out of

your nine-to-five existence and making you feel 10 years older

to boot.

Sure, you’ve learned to tolerate the bad coffee, pointless

meetings, and lame jokes in the course of your day. But you

just can’t tough it out when it comes to back pain, which can

range from dull, nagging aches to those unexpected twinges

that feel like you’ve been hit with a taser gun.

The bad news about back pain is that it not only lives with

you all day at the office but it also comes home with you at

night. It may even dog your weekends.

How do you develop pain?

If you are experiencing back pain at the office, you may think

that it is coming from all the sitting, standing, and lifting

that you have to do. And, indirectly, it does. But it is

actually more about how the body has to adapt to all the

sitting, standing, and lifting than the activity itself. Let’s

take sitting as an example.

Because of the amount of time you spend sitting, your body must

gradually adapt itself to that position. This happens in a

number of ways. The first thing it must adapt to is how the

weight goes through your hips and pelvis. Then, there is the

way you sit – upright, slouching, or something in between.

Most importantly, it’s what happens to the muscles while you’re

sitting. For example, your hip flexors will get tight from

being in a shortened position and your butt will get weak and

flabby from being in a relaxed state.

That simple combination of tight hip flexors and weak glutes is

called a “muscle imbalance.” The result of these muscle imbalances

will be postural dysfunctions of your pelvis and spine. These

imbalances send both your spine and pelvis into abnormal positions,

the combination of which can be devastating to a person with a healthy

back and catastrophic for a person suffering from any form of back pain.

What can you do about it.

What you must also understand is that your imbalances are the

result of what you do in your everyday life – your workouts,

sitting, the activities of your job, and your own personal

habits. I’m not going to tell you to stop going to work. But

what if you changed the way you present yourself at your desk.

Instead of sitting at your desk, try kneeling. I kneel at least

30 percent of the time I spend at my desk. I have a small foam

pad that puts me just high enough to type and see the monitor.

I sit on a therapy ball – and guess what. I don’t sit still like

my momma told me to. I move my hips in every direction,

which means I’m working on my core balance all day long.

———————-

Action steps to take

———————-

Sitting

When I sit, I sit with my legs in all different positions –

sometimes bent, sometimes behind me, other times stretched out

in front or even to the side of me, keep the legs moving.

Every 10 minutes or so, I will work my body in some way – and,

yes, that includes walking away from my desk. But more than that,

I make it a habit to stand up when the phone rings. I also stand

when I have to read something or when I’m rearranging the stack

of stuff on my desk for greater productivity.

Standing

If your job requires you to stand all day long, be sure you have

quality footwear and a neutral shoe insert. Our body mechanics

start when our feet hit the ground. It is best if your feet are

in the most neutral position possible.

One negative body pattern that many people fall into is to

continually shift their weight from one foot to the other. The

problem with this is that most people find eventually decide that

one leg will be more comfortable than the other, and then that leg

will get most of the weight most of the time. This will wreak havoc

on the pelvis and spine. Better to put equal on each foot as much

as you can, and learn to correct when you catch yourself shifting

your weight or leaning on one leg too much.

Lifting

A third obstacle on the job can be situations where you have to

lift anything over 10 pounds repeatedly. Again, it’s not the

activity itself that puts you in jeopardy; it’s your body’s

inability to tolerate the stress of the weight. In other words,

you should be able to lift anything you want to and not have any

difficulty doing it. The problem occurs when your body is

suffering from the muscle imbalances and postural dysfunction

that we talked about earlier – and you don’t even know it.

So, when you lift that object and you get injured, think of it

as the straw that broke the camels’ back. Your body was already

in a compromised state, and it just needed that last bit of stress

to send you in to a painful condition.

Stress

It’s an unavoidable fact of life at the office, and it can also

play a role by causing your muscles to tense up, which makes you

more prone to injury. Stress also lowers your tolerance for pain.

In some cases, minimizing stress on the job can be a daunting task,

but deep-breathing exercises, walking around the block, or even

talking about your frustrations with a trusted friend can help.

In closing, I want to leave you with this message: Even though

the workplace can be a hazard to your health, if you do find

yourself having back pain, remember that your thoughts and your

beliefs about your situation will have a direct impact on your ab

ility to recover and how fast you recover. That’s why it’s critical to

learn all you can about your condition and take action as soon as

you can.

50 Years of Back Pain Gone in Just Days

Jerry Tarman had suffered from

chronic back pain on and off for

over 50 years. Like most people, he

had tried it all…

Chiropractors, physical therapy, he even overdosed

on Tylenol but nothing gave him lasting relief until

he discovered muscle balance therapy.

Unlike most treatments which only deliver

temporary relief, if any at all, muscle balance

therapy delivers lasting relief to 8 out of

10 people who use it because it addresses

the underlying cause of the pain, not just the symptoms.

If you suffer from any type of back pain, neck pain or sciatica, I

urge you to learn more about this breakthrough new treatment.

Good for Basketball, Baseball, Football and Hockey

Last week a number of athletes wrote in, from various

sports, asking if the Combat Conditioning program will

work for them.

The answer is “yes” – if you practice the program.

Over the years I’ve received many testimonials from many

different coaches and athletes, from grade school to junior

high and high school, to college – and to through the pros.

Here’s one I just found, from Nick Nurse, who coaches an

NBA D League program in Des Moines, Iowa, and will

most likely be a top level NBA head coach within the

next couple years.

Here’s what Nick wrote when he was coaching a pro team

in Brighton, England – where he was coach of the year several

times:

Matt,

I have been coaching professional basketball in Europe for

about 10 years and just wanted to drop you a line to let

you know that we are getting excellent results using your

Combat Conditioning.

I initially read your daily email where you emphasised some

simple things that made a lot of sense to me as a coach –

and I thought they would translate well to pro hoops players.

Your prophecies of hill sprints and jumping rope is where we

started when we gathered for pre-season because we wanted

to get in shape quick.

The program worked in more ways than one.

It worked both physiologically and it worked psychologically.

Our guys knew they were working hard, (and probably harder

than other teams in the league) which made them think they

were in better condition than their opponents.

The key ingredient of a champion or a championship team

is conditioning.

I know when I played that I was not faster or quicker than

most of the guys I went head to head with but I was stronger

and could wear into them over the course of the game with

superior mindset and conditioning.

We try to impress this upon our players and your methods

help us to do this.

The other things that we use are the Hindu’s as our guys

like to call them.

Both the Hindu squats and the Hindu push-ups are part

of our weekly routine. We do them regularly and we do

them as rewards for games that we play in practice.

The team that wins a game in training gets a reward

of watching the other team knock out set of Hindu’s.

We also do the Hindu poker on our workout days. We

bring a deck of cards to the gym and split the team

up in 2 groups and start turnin’ cards. Red for Hindu

push ups and black for the Hindu squats. We will rip

thru the deck a couple of times and then play a game

of “WAR.” Again, two teams and the higher card wins

and the lower card team has to do the amount of

squats on the card.

It moves pretty quickly and they get to talk a little

smack back and forth so they enjoy that while

getting a great work out which is what I care about.

Anyway, I guess I just wanted to say thanks. Our teams

here are not always the most talented but we win year

after year.

We believe in being in great shape, and your Combat

Conditioning has been an invaluable tool for our club.

We like kickin butt and takin names, even on the basketball

court.

Best,

Nick Nurse
