The mail keeps pouring in, and in addition to the usual training questions, we have received a lot of good information on diet foods, and other subjects, from various members of the Faithful. We will be using some of this info in future emails.
The following letter is one I really liked.
Hey Matt,
So for a while now I’ve been doing Combat Conditioning and it’s been sorta funny to see and hear the things people will say in response … such as:
“Hey, you look slimmer, what gym you going to.”
“Did you have plastic surgery.”
“Do you have a personal trainer.”
When I tell them I am doing Combat Conditioning and I show them the bodyweight exercises, the disbelief is readily apparent.
No fancy or hard to figure out gym equipment, no huge membership fees, and no huge chunk of time I don’t have to spend away from my cute little son. It’s all right here, right now, available at any time I can and want to do it.
I challenged one big muscle guy to do 100 fast squats with me, and guess what. He couldn’t do it. I am a 36 year old, 140 pound, 5’5″ woman; I knocked out 100 and asked him how he was doing… Not so good.
While I am not some shiny, tan, “ripped” comic book hero looking chick; all my muscle is useful. I find CC works multiple muscle groups vs. one specific muscle group like with gym machines. I like being able to do pushups, and the effect it’s had on me is amazing. My back, shoulders, and neck look great, and feel great.
After years of chronic knee, back, and shoulder pain, I am getting stronger every day. The stronger I get, the less I hurt. Hub-dub is pleased with my results too.
This probably seems obvious to you, but this stuff was news to me.
So thanks to you! After years of dieting and joining gyms and trying all these wacky weight lifting routines, I found that bodyweight exercise is simple, accessible, and gives awesome results.
Your information is both useful, and usually pretty funny; it always makes me smile. Hub-dub and 2 girlfriends have seen the light about body building and diet. They tried Combat Conditioning and saw how much better they felt. Now, no one is wasting time or money standing in line at the gym.
You Rock,
Adrienne M.
M.F. Many thanks for your letter. I enjoy busting on the muscle heads me self. The looks on their faces are just priceless.
Best,
Matt Furey
