Cindy Landolt

I did a small post for the category Body of Zeus on Jamie Eason and there was a great response from readers around the world, so I though I would do another post for another female Fitness model and her name is Cindy Landolt. She originates from Switzerland and she is only 27 years old according to her 

facebook page.  

If you are liking what Cindy is doing follow her on facebook and if you would like to get some tips and 

even a training program, she offers this service. Check here website for more details.

Check out her pics and decided for your self.

Bodybuilding Motivation

Productivity and time go hand in hand. you must use your time wisely because you can never buy time back. Every minute you wait, every minute you procrastinate, every minute you decide to sit out is minutes wasted from the end result. Inception is the beginning piece to your life. Action is necessary, but giving it your all in each task is what will provide you with success. What are you going to do but more importantly, how are you going to do it?....mistakes are a part of life but mistakes are needed to get past all our mental barriers.

TRX Fitness

With Body of Zeus in full swing I am always looking to train that little bit more and I found this awesome training system. TRX. I learned this from my good friend Gail Ball, I have written a bout Gail in the past).

TRX Training is all about using your own bodyweight to train with. The system is very simple when you think about it but there has been a huge amount of thought gone into this training. 

Below is a video for you to get more of an idea about TRX and if you would like to speak to someone to ask some questions, I would recommend speaking to Gail Ball and let her help you out. To visit Gail's website please go to http://www.gailballpersonaltraining.com/.

What the Fuck....

So time is flying and since my last confession here on Scabenga things having been moving at a 100 miles an hour and in life terms that is fast.

So what is going on.... ATG is going well. This working outside is good for body and mind and I can actually say that I have a tan and it is not paid for. No on a serious note, it is doing me the world of justice. I am really enjoying life at the moment which can not be a bad thing.

Body of Zeus, the time has finally come and a few of you will know that this has been a work in progress or a new years resolution that I have never fulfilled but I have been working hard in the gym and playing a lot of squash. All of this and working outside, I am losing belt holes left, right and centre. It is a bit of a worry as I am going to have to buy smaller size shorts and jeans as they are falling off me.

There is much more to tell but to be honest I am packing and need to get on with it..

So it has been a last time from my last post....

So it has been a last time from my last post. So much to say so little time to write.. 

So it is the calm before the storm. No drinking tonight as tomorrow is going to be a long and hopefully fruitful day. Lots of sport to watch and from what I am being told by the man at The Wandle the beer is cold. Just to remind all who does not know, we will be starting at around 2 - 2.30pm ish. The rugby starts at 2.30pm. 

What else has been going on? My task of getting on Google for Bars in Earlsfield is done and I am happy. Quiet easy to do when you know what is going on. Now I have set myself a new task and I will come to you with more details in the future. 

As the summer is coming up, The Body of Zeus is coming back into action. Gyming a lot and will unveil it soon when the suns out. Suns out, Guns out!!! 

Some good reading for you about the infamous Chuck Norris. 

Riddle for you: 

An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower wins. After wandering aimlessly for days, the brothers ask a wise man for guidance. Upon receiving the advice, they jump on the camels and race to the city as fast as they can.

What did the wise man say to them?

Answer: The wise man told them to switch camels
