Can You Beat Depression With Combat Conditioning?

Dear Matt,

I just wanted to write and tell you that your program is really making a difference. Just to let you know I went though the last two years of hell in a divorce and suffering from extreme depression.

I went from 198lbs to 282 lbs. To give you an idea I have gotten your Combat Conditioning and Furey Fat Loss program during the last year. And I am really progressing.

I am down from 282 to 238. I am building muscle, but the most important thing I wanted to share with you is that your program is also a kick-butt solution for a man diagnosed with depression.

My physician explained that the reason a lot of men suffer from depression - lack of motivation - focus, etc is that their dopamine and serotonin levels are out of whack. Well I decided that I was sick and tired of being sick, tired ... and depressed.

I found out that exercises like the Hindu squats, jumping rope, sprints, and many other of the exercises in your program are great for battling depression. YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON THE MARK!!

The first thing I am doing in the morning is getting my body warmed up using the breathing exercises in Combat Abs.

At first I could only muster the motivation for 5 minutes.

Well now I am up to twenty minutes in the morning before I do my Hindu squats. What is great is that it sets me up for the entire day.

For the first time in my life, I understand how to fight and overturn the effects of depression. In the beginning it was very difficult, but like you said "Even if you can just do one minute, it will make all the difference."

Yeah, I still have another 35 lbs to work off, but at least I am regaining my focus and energy. I am involved in a group of people who are fighting back from depression. They are all noticing the changes not only physically, but mentally as well.

I can't thank you enough for the work you do. I am sharing your techniques and what I have learned about fighting back from depression with as many people I know. Thank you for helping me get my life back "one minute at a time."

Signed-- Half-way there with only half way to go.

P.S. As soon as I get the money, I want to get your Magnetic Mind Power program. Some of the tools you have described in your emails have really made a difference. Matt, there are a lot of people who I associate with who are fighting depression.

They are just looking for a life-line to hang on from day to day. Your email tips and conditioning programs have really helped me and I am sharing them with as many of my friends and associates as I can. In the next year I plan on getting back to my pre-marriage physical condition, but this time a lot wiser and a lot healthier. When I get there I plan on showing you my before and after photos and hope to thank you personally for all the help and motivation your program has given me.

M.F.: Robert, this is tremendous. You are on a great and noble path and your results are and will be inspiration to many. I am thrilled to hear of your success and the successes of those around you. Please tell them that "Matt Furey says hello."

Also, just so you know, although all the exercises in Combat Conditioning and Combat Abs can help, the exact exercises that I am told help the most with elimination of depression are as follows: Bridging - front and back, headstands, handstands and the tablemaker. Well, my friend, that's all for now.

Kick butt - take names!

Although many people have successfully battled depression with my exercise programs, results can and do vary. There is no guarantee that exercise will work for you - but there is an increased probability.
