After watching a former Fruit of the Loom guy dance around in spandex a few times back in the 1980’s, I learned to cringe every time I heard the word “aerobics.”

And the flawed science behind aerobics made me cringe even further.

Despite popular belief, this type of low-intensity long-duration exercise can actually wreck your body. Do enough, and it will make you sick, old and tired before your time.

You’ll find out why in a minute, but first, let me tell you about supra-aerobics – a completely different animal.

I think of it like a car. Traditional aerobics turn your body into a small car with a small engine. It’s fuel-efficient, but God help you if you need to quickly get out of the way of an oncoming truck. You just don’t have the power.

Supra-aerobics, on the other hand, gives your heart and lungs a turbo boost that can get you out of any jam.

A high output, supra-aerobic workout builds up reserve capacity in your heart, expands your lung volume and melts away fat so fast your friends will be shocked when they see the change in you.

My good friend, Dr. Al Sears, has the ultimate program to get you into the supra-aerobic zone every time you work out. Click this link to discover more …

P.S. I spoke with Dr. Al at a conference a couple years ago, and he is solid rock. His program works wonders – and that’s why I’m standing behind it.

Several times per week, after a good evening meal, I go for a long walk.

It’s nice to walk at night, especially when the sun is going down.

During a recent walk with my wife, she reminded me of the Chinese saying:

‘Fan hou san bu huo yi bai.’

This means: If you walk after dinner, you can live to be 100.

Zhannie’s mother overheard us talking and quickly gave another Chinese saying on the same topic. This one means almost the same thing – but has some poetry to it.

Goes like this: ‘Fan hou bai bu zou – huo dao jiu shi jiu.’

Translation: After dinner walk 100 steps and you will live 99 years.’

Great wisdom in these sayings, my friend.

Go for an evening walk, after dinner, and you’ll sleep better, feel better and live longer.

And if you really want to increase the odds in your favor, pick up a copy of the Chinese Long-Life System.

With this program you’ll learn how daily massage of three pressure points can help you live a long, long time in perfect health.

Best,

Today I’m going to cover a few questions from readers of this daily email/blog. Here goes:

Matt,

I got the Power Wheel per your recommendation and it is awesome. Just want to know if I should use it every day or a few times per week. Thanks much.

Jeremy

MJF: Jeremy, glad you got your Power Wheel and are liking it. In the beginning, depending upon soreness, 2-3 times per week is sufficient. Once you’re over the soreness 2-3 times per week is still good. But if you do something five days a week, Monday-Friday, I think you’ll be amazed with the difference. I wouldn’t do a full workout with it each day – just one exercise each day – like the basic rollout from the knees. Do 15-25 reps and you’ll notice the difference. This one exercise will take no more than a couple minutes – and the benefits are major.

Matt,

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve suffered from seasonal allergies for years and now, thanks to your advice in the Furey Faithful newsletter, I have no more sniffling or sneezing. Before it was out of control. Now I just eat the foods you said to eat and it’s a miracle. I’ve passed the word on to several co-workers who’ve been taking medicine for years, with no results, and they’re no longer going to the doctor for help with this. They’re sniffle free as well. Again, a million thanks.

John

MJF: John, messages like yours make my week. Make sure you tell your co-workers to join the Furey Faithful as well, so they get all the benefits you do.

Matt,

I’m currently six months pregnant. Do you advice the Power Wheel or the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener for me right now

Britney

MJF: Britney, I advise you to ask your physician on this one.

Matt,

Thanks to you I’m now in the best shape of my life. I had your Combat Conditioning book on my shelf for almost a year. I finally took it off in January and began following your routines. Now I’m feeling like I did when I was 20 (I’m 48 now). My clothes are all falling off me. My wife says that’s a good thing. Needless to say our love life is much improved. So not only do I thank you, my wife does too.

Jacob

MJF: Jacob, get your wife to do the same routine with you and your workouts may move to an even higher level of intimacy.

That’s all for now,

Matt Furey

(Note: We only have room for 198 more people on this)

Let me tell you about a special report I put together that contains a diet secret that is guaranteed to blow torch fat off your body faster than anything I have ever told you about before.

In fact, the greatness of this secret is that you really DO get to eat MORE than you are currently eating.

What’s more – I am only asking you to make ONE change in your eating habits. Just ONE. Not a complete

overhaul.

And if you listen to what I am going to reveal – and ‘do the thing’ I’m recommending, you are going to be absolutely stunned when you look in the mirror each day.

Old clothes that you haven’t been able to wear in years will suddenly slide onto your body like they once did.

People on the street are going to approach and ask what you’re doing to have dropped so much weight. Double-takes will be the order of the day.

Now, if you’re uncomfortable with dropping all the excess flabbage, if you’d rather not be bothered by people complimenting you, then – hey, no argument from me.

Maybe you’re not motivated by an improved appearance. Maybe you’d rather have me scare the hell out of you, telling you that failure to follow my suggestions may result in a heart attack, or cancer – or some such disease.

But I won’t do that because I cannot prove such assertions. However, I can tell you that those who follow my suggestion, this ONE suggestion, will greatly reduce the chances of heart attack, stroke, cancer and so on. I’m talking about a DRAMATIC reduction in your chances for any of the above.

So make sure you enroll as a member of the Furey Faithful right now so you get this secret immediately.

At present we can only accept another 198 new members. So make sure you’re one of them. Enroll NOW.

Matt Furey

P.S. As a member of the Furey Faithful you’ll also be getting valuable coaching on exercise, nutrition, injury avoidance, dealing with chronic pain, confidence and so on. On this member’s site you’ll find audio, video and many other special reports that cover your every fitness need. Go here and enroll NOW.

Yesterday I sent you information about one of greatest fitness inventions ever.

Many of you visited the website and felt that the product was TOO hard-core for your needs.

This is understandable because some of the clips on the site are of people who have obviously NOT spent the last two decades on the sofa – or plopped before a computer screen.

Today I thought I could serve you better by directing you to a page that explains the benefits without all the bravado and machismo.

Just the facts. The across-the board facts.

Go here and read the numerous accounts about the wide variety of people this product helps.

Matt Furey

P.S. I even have my 8-year old and 4-year old using the Power Wheel. That oughta say it all.

You have three secret pressure points on your body – and many of the longest-lived Chinese believe that if you massage these three points each day, you can have 100 years of perfect health.

Living to 100 in perfect health is a far better thing to imagine and aim for than living 70 or 80 years of pain, struggle and strife, don’t you think? It’s a far better idea than becoming one out of three who will die from cancer.

Check out what this life-enhancing program will do for you.

I was sitting in a coffee house a few years back, talking to a successful entrepreneur.

He’d ordered himself a large coffee with a couple shots of espresso.

‘Man, you must be made of steel,’ I remarked.

‘Gotta have this in the morning to start my engine,’ he replied. ‘The ole heart doesn’t work without this stuff.’

At the time I thought what he said was pretty funny – and in fact, still do.

But there is a better way to start your engine each day – and it doesn’t cost a dime. All you do is take in a few gulps of fresh air, hold it for a spell – then ‘spit out’ the stale, dingy air that’s taking up space in your lungs.

Then you do what cats and dogs do. You put your palms on the floor and stretch backward. In yoga they call this downward dog.

Now, I’m not a yoga teacher – but I can tell you this – yoga came from wrestling. This is a well established fact – you can verify for yourself in books like, The Yoga Tradition of the Mysore Palace. Not only that, if you pick up a book on Iyengar Yoga – you’ll see the man who founded this style doing – bridging. Back bridge, front bridge, kickovers, and so on. All of them are commonly practiced in wrestling.

This is not to put down yoga. I think it offers a great deal of help to many people. But the truth is that a lot of what is being taught about it in the U.S. is pretty lame.

About a year ago I was talking to a yoga teacher who really admires my book and DVDs on Combat Conditioning.

He told me how much he liked it. I said, ‘Thank you.’

Then he said, ‘Yes, all of those exercises come from yoga.’

The thought of throwing him down and breaking something on him crossed my mind – but I restrained myself and did my Zen Master breathing exercises instead. It’s a good thing I did so because I learned a couple really good things from him. And I wouldn’t have learned anything at all if I got embroiled in a

spat over a historical issue. Bottom line for me is this: Even if wrestling came first – who cares.

When I’m at my vacation home in China throughout the year, I learn everything I can. I’m a virtual sponge for new information on health, fitness, longevity – and so on. I keep an open mind. Pretending to be a know-it-all might be a ‘good story’ in your own mind – but it keeps you from growing; from becoming MORE than you currently are.

For many people, allowing new information into their minds is a frightening proposition. They want to appear as if they have the whole world and everything in it figured out. But that’s ignorant.

Let your guard down a bit. Let something new into your mind and I’m betting you’ll be much better for having done so.

Those who use this device are amazed at how quickly the excess flab seems to melt off your body.

It’s almost as if each repetition rolls fat off your body.

What’s the device.

It’s called the Power Wheel.

I believe it is one of the greatest fitness tools ever created.

I’ve been recommending the Power Wheel since 2001 – and there’s no end in sight.

The Power Wheel isn’t one of those ab devices you see on tee-vee today that disappears a few months later.

The Power Wheel is here to stay – forever – because it never stops working – EVER.

Use it and watch the excess pounds blow away like water off a leaping dolphin’s back. Check it out NOW

Matt Furey

P.S. My wife used the Power Wheel to roll of 25 pounds after giving birth. It works – and FAST. And she’s not alone. If you use the Power Wheel – you WILL get incredible results.

Remember when you were a kid and whenever you needed a drink of water you turned on the faucet.

Remember when you didn’t need to lug a gallon of water with you everywhere you went out of fear of dying from dehydration.

Well, it may be time to revisit those days – or something similar.

Why? Because most of the bottled water being sold to us at steep prices is unsafe.

For years we’ve been told that water from the tap is bad – and water that you pay for from the bottle is good.

Well, surprise surprise.

A recent study at the University of Iowa, looked into the contents of ten top brands of drinking water.

And guess what they found?

Here’s a direct quote:

“Researchers found 38 impurities in the 10 brands of bottled water they analysed. This included disinfection byproducts, fertilizer residue, traces of pain medication, solvents, chemicals used in the plastics industry, bacteria, and radioactive strontium. Across the 10 brands, the researchers found an average of 8 pollutants in each.” (Source.)

And the above is only ONE study.

What do I suggest? I suggest you use a water purifier. Connect it to your tap and filter your own water. Not only will this save you a fortune, but the water you’re drinking will be pure and free of plasticizers, fertilizers, flouride and pharmaceuticals.

When it comes to the exercise called bridging, you’ll find it to be an art, a science and one helluva workout.

There are many variations of the bridge – and the one I’m most famous for teaching is the”wrestler’s bridge” – sometimes erroneously referred to as a “neck bridge.” Calling this wonderful total body exercise a “neck bridge” makes about as much sense as calling pushups “wrist benders.”

When you do a wrestler’s bridge correctly you are using your lower back, abdominals, hips, buttocks, legs and diaphragm MORE than your neck. So you have to be an idiot to call it a “neck bridge.”

Not only that but bridging is one of the all-time best exercises for eliminating lower back pain. How could this be if it was all about the neck.

Yes, there are a few people who bash the bridge – but their bashing comes from ignorance rather than real world science. Those who slam bridging don’t know how to do a bridge correctly – and they really don’t want to because they have something else to sell you, like a ridiculous neck machine, neck harness or another neck routine. It’s all bunk and junk compared to the overall benefits of bridging – along with the other neck and back exercises I teach in Combat Conditioning.

Bridging helps eliminate back pain for many reasons – foremost of which is the fact that it simultaneously stretches and strengthens the muscles of the back and core while giving the spine a much needed arch.

The very act of sitting causes the vertebrae to compress – so each time you bridge, even if over a ball, you relieve pressure from the spine and increase energy throughout the entire system. Your spine is the electrical switch for the entire body – so anytime you work on increasing flexibility in the spine via bridging – you light your body from within.

Your internal organs, spine, brain and muscles benefit. And when combined with deep breathing, chi flow throughout all the body’s meridians expands. This also accounts for the “glow” and peace of mind you will feel after holding for three minutes. Your body and mind have been joined – at the hip, spine and core.

If you’d like to know even more on the Science of Bridging, you’ll find it on the Furey Faithful member’s site, wherein top orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Bill Stillwell,

uses x-rays of the cervical vertebrae to explain the science of this wonderful exercise.

If you’re not yet a member of the Furey Faithful – there are many benefits and gifts that come along with – including a test-drive of the member’s site.
