Thank goodness it’s Saturday. After enduring Back Friday on Thursday, and in some cases Wednesday, I’m left wondering what we’re teaching our kids.

Really. You can’t wait til Friday anymore to start Black Friday. It’s gotta start early. Gotta start on Thursday – if not earlier.

Can’t wait til 12:00 AM on Friday. No. No. No.

Gotta get it rolling at least a day early.

I think it’s terrible. I think it’s absolutely pathetic.

Thanksgiving is supposed to be a day of gratitude with family and friends. And if you don’t have any of either, it’s a day of rest – a day you can count your blessings.

At least that’s what I thought it was supposed to be.

So let me be blunt.

I’m not a fan of Black Friday on Thursday. I’m not a fan of anyone who can’t shut his online business down on Thanksgiving.

But I’ll tell you what I AM a fan of on Thanksgiving – as well as other holidays. I’m a fan of doing physical things with your family. I’m a fan of going outdoors to play ball. I’m a fan of sitting around to catch up on reading or DVD watching. And I’m a fan of taking time to remember, reminisce and be grateful.

Do I respect those who have things to sell? Yes, of course. I have products to sell, too, and I’ll get to one of them in a moment.

But before I do, I want you to know that I could have sent an email about my new product on Wednesday, or Thursday and/or on Black Friday.

I didn’t. And the reason I didn’t is because I want my children to know that their Dad doesn’t work on Thanksgiving or have his mind preoccupied with anything else.

We’re going to spend time together, watching ball games, eating, talking – and working out.

They aren’t going to see me taking phone calls to talk business. Nor will they see me return emails or texts. It’s a day of thanks.

Period.

Okay, now that I’ve got that off my chest, I believe I’ve earned the right to tell you about a product I mentioned to you last week.

It’s called Combat Conditioning for KIDS.

It’s so cool both of my children couldn’t resist going through it, naming the exercises I taught them so long ago.

They loved how I renamed The Royal Court. It’s now called The Kid’s Court {TKC). They like how I made TKC into five fat-burning, muscle-moulding exercises instead of three.

And they’re convinced the new spiral-bound format is PERFECT for setting on the floor as you pump out the exercises. No more having to turn the book over or hold it down with your hand to keep it from closing.

I went to a lot of extra time and expense to make these changes – and they’re going to make a HUGE difference for your kids when they workout each day.

Yes, you can do the exercises with them – but you don’t have to.

Yes, you can supervise them as they train – but chances are you won’t have to do very much of that.

Anyway, the newbie is NOW in stock and I’ve got 100 cartoon-ized card decks left that will also go out as a bonus. After they’re gone, I’m not sure if I’ll re-order.

The good news is you can ORDER NOW from the privacy of your home or on your electronic gadget.

You don’t need to camp out in a parking lot overnight.

But you do need to ACT NOW in order to make sure you get the bonus.

Yours,

Matt “Coach” Furey

P.S. Here’s the link again. Jump on this NOW my friend.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been “leaking” information to members of the Furey Faithful about the dietary changes I’ve made “for the better” – and they’ve been HUGE – not just for me – but for those I’ve talked to who are following what I’m doing, with no coaxing from me to do so.

That’s right. I don’t like people who tell me how I should eat – so I do my best to leave everything in neutral when I talk about what someone else should eat.

It’s none of my business.

At the same time, if someone reads what I’m doing – get’s intrigued and interested, and wants to give it a whirl, then by golly, go for it – but remember, I didn’t Tell you, Force you or Compel you to do what you chose to do.

Even so, let me give you some examples of what’s happened to a number of people who’ve decided to follow me…

Tom, 51, chronically fatigued for three years. Nothing he did worked. Fasting, cleansing, nutritional supplements, healers, cat scans, MRIs … you name it, he was still EXHAUSTED.

All the time…

Five days after he read my secret blog for the Furey Faithful, he wrote me to say he finally feels like he’s on the “upswing.” One day later, he again said he was feeling better.

That kind of result is stunning.

And he’d made ZERO posiitve comments about his health for the past three years! Truism.

Pamela dropped 10 pounds and chronic pain she’d been having in your ankles and knees disappeared.

Mark dropped 20 pounds and already looks five years younger.

Michael dropped 10 pounds and is currently still amazed at the crud his body is throwing off.

Will has taken 20 pounds off and is no longer chronically fearful of everything that he thinks might happen in the future, or the now.

Betty, 15 pounds off and far less joint pain with a ton more energy.

And all of the above has taken place within the last 30 days.

Once again, I emphasize, these people are just following what I figured out. I’m not advising them. I’m not their doctor. I’m not a certified food pyramind nutritionist or any other kind of nutritionist.

I’m not recommending paleo – or ketosis – or vegetarianism, raw foodism – breathariansism or faith healing.

If I were to categorize what I’m doing and telling others – it could be classified as eating “nutrient dense” foods.

Fact, you can be on a so-called healthy diet and NOT be getting nutrient dense foods. Most people are making this very mistake.

That’s why Tom was chronically fatigued. Eating all the so-called healthy foods, most of which have no nutrients lead to nothing but fatigue and anguish.

I’m incredibly grateful to the people and resources who’ve helped me figure out the remaining pieces of the dietary jigsaw puzzle – the people who helped me “crack the code.”

If you’re interested in following me – that’s cool, but I’m not promising you anything.

I’m not promising you weight loss of any kind – even though I have inside knowledge about how quickly it can happen once you know what I’m doing.

I’m not promising any kind of health improvement – even though what I’ve read about and proven to be true for MYSELF, is off the charts awesome.

I’m not promising you a CURE of any kind either: nothing physical, psychological, spiritual, emotional or intellectual.

The only thing I’m promising is INFORMATION that has worked for ME – and that many of my clients and coaching members say is working for them, too.

Easily and practically effortlessly.

But I’m not guaranteeing anything for YOU – except the INFO I have that may be totally life-changing. That’s it.

So here’s what I’ve got planned: I’m going to hold a “Weight Loss Without Will Power” teleseminar for all the current members of the Furey Faithful – as well as those who enroll this week.

I’m going to hold this event early next week – and I’m probably going to give you more valuable content in one hour than you’ve read or heard in your entire life on the subject of REAL nutrition and where to get it.

No, this isn’t about supplements, protein powders and so on.

I think once you get this food in your body, your life can and will change – but that’s merely my opinion and I’m not encouraging you in anyway to believe anything I have to say.

Okay, with all of the above in mind, get yourself over to the Furey Faithful and become a member NOW.

The benefits of being a member are increasing by the day. You definitely want to be “on the Inside” with what I’m doing here. So tune in – right away.

Yours,

Coach Furey

Let me summartize it for you in one sentence. One short sentence.

YOIUR BREATH IS YOUR POWER.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to mark this one down on an index card and carry it around with you.

Over 20 years ago, as I sat in a fitness mentor’s office, he had the following message scrolling across his computer screen:

Breathe Bill… Breathe.

That might actually be a better reminder for you than “Your Breath is Your Power” – but I believe you have to understand WHY to breathe first. So, just telling someone to breathe isn’t enough.

Why breathe? Aren’t you already doing so? Isn’t it sort of involuntary.

Well, yes… and hell no.

Yes, you are breathing to a degree, but WHAT degree are you talking about?

Are you breathing in such a way that you let go of stress, tension, anxiety, fear, worry, doubt and so on?

If you’re at all like the masses – the answer is NO.

All young children, before the age of four, automatically breathe from their lower belly. No one has to teach them. They come in doing it right – then almost all of them lose the ability, and if someone comes along with some wisdom that they deem worth following, the work to regain the ability.

You’ll see the very best athletes paying attention to their breathing. They are aware of it almost all the time. And whenever they feel tension, they know how to let it go.

In martial arts, breathing is the key to personal power. With no breath – no power. Only force – and force is not the same as power.

Picture Sisyphus back in the days of old – pushing a large stone uphill, only to run out of gas and have the stone roll back down.

This is what a lot of peoples’ lives are like. They push and push and push – only to run out of steam just before the finish line.

Ever happen to you?

If not, I’d be surprised because its sure happened to me – and everyone else I know.

No matter who you are and how successful you are – there will be times when you become an “instant idiot” – seemingly forgetting everything you know as you try to find your way out of the maze.

I imagine many golfers can relate to this. One day you have a wonderful swing. You’re awesome.

The next day….?

Where’s that swing? How did I hit the ball again?

You’re lost and you cannot remember or recall what you did when you were at your best. So you unconsciously begin adding more tension to your mind, muscles and marrow.

Before you realize what’s happened – you’re a bundle of negative stresses and tensions.

How do you get your groove back then?

You start with the most basic and fundamental part of life that exists.

Your breath.

As soon as we take our first breath, almost all people will agree that we are alive. I believe we’re alive before that moment – but that’s another discussion for another day.

And then it’s time to exit the earthly plain. Once again, most people will agree that you take off when you let go of your final breath.

So it goes with negative energy, tension, emotion and memories.

You let them go when you EXHALE.

When you exhale and let go – you’ve taken a BIG STEP toward garnering more personal power.

After this, there’s an INHALE – and provided you can do this in a relaxed, tension-free manner, you’re moving in the right direction.

Once you’ve corrected your breathing – it’s time to add the next steps: relaxation and proper structure.

Put all three of these together and let me tell you, you become a POWERFUL FORCE.

Not just a Force.

A POWERFUL FORCE.

This #1 Key – and the two others sounds easy enough – but the truth is you need some guidance on this matter.

As one preacher used to declare, “I need help. I can’t do it alone.”

And my friend, that’s one of the main reasons I started the FureyFaithful member’s site.

It’s there to help guide you and mentor you in the ways to creating internal power – personal power.

If I were you I’d be checking it out right NOW.

Your life will change when you read, watch and listen to what I have in store for you.

It’s like no other mind-body health and fitness website in the whirld.

With your membership, you’ll get access to a treasure trove of information that is worth FAR MORE than the incredibly low fee to enroll.

Get ready to change your life for the better – NOW. Right NOW.

Yours,

Matt “Coach” Furey

There’s much going on here at Furey Central.

I’m digging products from my archives that people have been asking about for quite some time. And the plan is to release or re-release a number of them over the next couple weeks.

So you’ll really want to check your email each day to see what the Fure-cat is cooking.

At the same time, if there’s something you really want to see, learn, hear, etc. – you can send me what’s on your mind and I’ll ponder it for a spell before deciding yay or nay.

Por ejemplo, last Friday, Freddy told me that when he brought home a copy of the “cartoon edition” of Combat Conditioning – he set it on the table with the plan of reading it… “later.”

Meanwhile Freddy’s children, three of them under the age of eight, grabbed the book and set it on the floor. From this position they went through the book, exercise by exercise, and did every single one of them, one right after the other, until they finished.

Since then, these youngins have dog-eared the pages and sweated all over it as they perform the exercises each day.

The book is NOW their book. It’s in their room and with no coaxing from the “old man” – they pull it out each day and follow the program.

Bear in mind that they haven’t even read HOW to do any of the exercises. They just follow the Cartoon character named “El Fure-cat”- and they’re good to go.

When Freddy told me this, a huge “A-HA” took place inside my noggin.

Creating the cartoon edition of my all-time classic, Combat Conditioning, was NOT a good business decision… for the ADULTS on my list.

Many would call or write to complain that my exercises were serious, and a cartoon trivialized them and made them seem unimportant.

Others would call and ask for an original copy that had real photos.

So I put the book to rest and moved on.

But last Friday, I realized, maybe this book can be resurrected.

It’s not for adults. It’s for your children – whom many of you call “kids.” BTW, as one friend told me, he doesn’t call his children “kids” because “kids are goats.”

Made sense to me. I immediately stopped referring to my offspring as “kids” – but if you want to call them kids, and won’t respond to a marketing message for “children” – then dadgummit I’ll call ’em “kids.”

Anyhoo, just think of what I could do to help kids/children. All a parent needs to do is put my cartoon edition of Combat Conditioning in their home and their boys and girls will begin to feed off it.

Sounds like a WINNER to me.

If you like this idea, tell you what I’m gonna do.

I’m going to dust off the plethora of Cartoon Combat Conditioning books and make it available again.

This will get your child into shape – and I mean a shape other than rotund – and then I’ll become known as the man who saved America from childhood obesity.

Yeah.

Yeah, right. Dream on Furecat.

Okay, enough dreaming, if this is something you want, reply to this email and let me know.

If enough support, I’ll move forward.

And make sure you’re checking your inbox each day for products on health and fitness, psycho-cybernetics, possibly even something on email copywriting and/or info-marketing.

You duh best.

Yours,

Coach Furey – Matt Furey

P.S. Enroll in the  Furey Faithful today and I’ll send you a copy, by mail, of Cartoon Combat Conditioning. Everything else on the site is available by digital download only – and there’s only about ten grand worth of information on there – so I wouldn’t join if I were you. It’s too expensive. Yeah, right!
