Today I’m going to give you three quick yet
mercilessly powerful tips on how you can improve
your flexibility fast, no matter what your cotton-pickin
age.
Here goes:
1. When you stretch, breathe deeply and fully. Fill your
lungs to full capacity. Inhale all the way down so you’re
filling the lower lungs. Inhale even more so that you can
feel your rib cage and your chest expand.
If you put your hand on your pecs (or chest) you should
be able to feel it expand on the inhale.
Now, once you’ve held the inhale for a few seconds, relax
and let it go. Doing this will let go of physical and mental
stress and help you relax more deeply into each stretch.
2. Once you’ve done some deep breathing for the lungs,
now let’s do some for the muscles. In fact, let’s do something
that is supposedly physiologically impossible. Let’s breathe
right into the muscle we’re stretching. For example, if you’re
stretching your hamstrings, let’s inhale into the hamstring.
Just imagine doing so and you’ll feel the difference.
No, you do not have ‘lungs’ in your hamstrings. But if your
intent is to direct your inhale into your hamstrings, believe me
now and listen to me later, you’ll feel the difference. Your hamstring
will begin to relax and upon each exhale, the muscles will unlock
and give your more elasticity.
3. Good job. You’ve done number one and two, now you have one
of two choices – both of which I teach, depending on the situation.
The first is that you can contract and relax the muscle you’re
stretching. Flex the muscle for several seconds, then relax and
voila – you instantly can go further than before. I teach this is my
Combat Stretching course – http://www.mattfurey.com/combat_stretching.hmtl
The second choice involves simply giving your muscles the command to ‘relax.’
It follows the idea of telling yourself what to do via self-suggestion.
This principle can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to increase strength,
endurance, power and speed. It can even be used to improve your health, your
appearance and how you age.
No, it’s not mere affirmations. It’s programming your body to do what you want
via a combination of deep breathing, relaxing, flexing and effective commands
that bypass the conscious mind giving you instantaneous and rapid results.
Now, if you’ve liked what you’ve just read and think it’s great – you ain’t seen or
heard nothing yet. Here’s why:
In my February 2007 Fitness Bootcamp in Tampa, Florida, I am going to go way
beyond what you’ve just read. In fact, I (as well as everyone else I’m having
present) is going to present NEW information that cannot be found in any of our
previous courses – nor in anyone else’s that we can find. How’s that for a challenge.
It’s true. And to make it even more important for you to get a seat at this seminar
and see it LIVE – please understand that this seminar will NEVER be released to the
public. It is truly a private, closed-door event. And the only way you can learn what
we’re teaching is to BE THERE. Period.
I promise you that the first evening of the seminar alone will deliver more than what
you paid. Tis a Furey trademark as I believe in going the extra mile, giving more value
than what you invested.
Today is the last day that you can enroll in this seminar at the lowest amount advertised.
After today the amount will creep upwards. And it will creep upwards daily. Each day that
you procrastinate (and please, it’s always better to move forward) will have a price attached
to it. I’d rather not punish you for being a fence-sitter – so please, enroll today and get
the best opportunity imaginable.
There’s just no excuse in the world that justifies missing this seminar. So go to
http://www.mattfurey.com/007_fitness_bootcamp.html and enroll NOW.
Best,
P.S. Yesterday so many seats were nabbed that I don’t know how much longer this
seminar offer will even be available. It will not take place a second time in 2007. It
will not repeat ever again. This is your chance. This is your opportunity for greatness.
Seize the day. Seize this opportunity. NOW. Gallop on over to the seminar sign-up page
at http://www.mattfurey.com/007_fitness_bootcamp.html and make a positive change
in your life that you’ll never regret.
