More Linda Minard

I did a write up not long ago on the lovely South Korean actress and fitness model, Linda Minard.
I mentioned that she got her Pro Card at the 2008 FAME Canadian Nationals.
Well, here is a picture of this Asian fitness beauty in contest shape.
I thought she looked fit in her other pics but wow!
The next stop for Linda is the FAME World Championships in Montreal.
And also, Linda appeared in the Oxygen Magazine "Abs Special" Issue.
Looking at her abs, is there any wonder why?

Monique Minton in Flex Magazine

So I was in Barnes and Noble yesterday and I was looking at the magazines and my eyes landed on this month's Flex Magazine.
And look who is on the cover!
Yes, right there on the right hand side of the cover is our very own Monique Minton.
Okay, she's not "our" very own, but I have done write ups on her here and on my other fitness blogs.
This is the second time the beautiful Monique has appeared on the cover of Flex that I know of.

Satoko Shinashi

This entry is different from our usual fitness models, bodybuilders and physical trainers.
Satoko Shinashi is a female Japanese mixed martial arts fighter.
Of course no one doubts that MMA fighters are fit, a lot of the fitness models here and on my other fitness blogs use MMA training as one of their ways to stay in shape.

Satoko was born on January 29, 1977 in Tokyo, Japan.
(Hmmm...thats me, Liza Kampstra and Satoko all born on January 29th.)
She uses Judo, Sambo, and jiu-jitsu in her matches, and is known for her armbars.
Actually she is 28-2- 2 ( her website lists her record at 30-2-2 ) in fighting with 22 of those wins being via submission and 17 of those submissions were armbars.
Pretty much if she gets an armbar locked in, it's over.
Her two losses were to Mai Ichii by decision and Hisae Watanabe by knockout.



You wont be seeing her in the ring anytime soon though.
Back in January, it was announced that Satoko is pregnant.

You can visit her website here:

And here is a video of her in action against various opponents.

Mona Liza Reyes, Another Look

I did an entry on Filipino figure athlete Mona Liza Reyes awhile back.
But what I didn't know was that this lovely lady is involved in Knock Out Dog Fighting, an anti-dogfighting campaign dedicated to stopping cruelty and abuse.
As a person that does animal rescues I really appreciate what these people are doing.
We've rescued a few Pits ourselves.
In addition to that, she is a volunteer coach with "Girls on the Run". The Girls on the Run program is a 12- week training course which targets 8 – 11 year old girls.

Asian Fitness Model Liz Yu.

The really sad thing about Liz is that all I have is a name and a picture.
And possibly that this is the same Elizabeth Yu that competed at the 2006 Emerald Cup Figure, Fitness and Bodybuilding Championships.
If that is the same lady, then she also competed at the 2006 Alberta Figure Championships.
But I had to post this entry.
Look at those abs!

Cori Nadine - Fitness Model

If you haven't been on the interweb since the 90s, you might not know who Cori Nadine is.
Cori is a Filipino, Irish, and Navajo Indian beauty that was a staple in Muscle mags back in the 90s.
I think every swimsuit issue they put out had her in it.
Cori actually competed in a few amateur fitness and figure contests but nothing ever really came of it.
She also did some work as a personal trainer, but I don't know if she still does that or not.
The way Cori is built, she can look very soft and feminine, or very muscular and ripped when she wants to.
Cori was born on June 11th, 1969 in Pasadena California.
