Female fitness competitor and figure competitor Tanya Merryman was one of the first women I profiled here on this blog.
That was back in June of 2007.
Actually I did my first entry on her on my Beautiful Women blog back in February of 2007.
But where a lot of fitness models fade away, Tanya has come back stronger than ever.

Tanya won the Fitness America Pageant title back in 1998.
And even though she has taken time off in the past, she is coming back like gangbusters now.
Even though for the moment she is sidelined with a ACL injury according to her blog.

Recent Contest History:

2007 NPC National Championships, 1st place

2008 IFBB Arnold Classic Bodybuilding, Fitness And Figure Contest, 12th place

2008 IFBB 15th Annual Sports/Fitness Weekend & Europa IFBB Super Show, 11th place

2008 IFBB Tournament of Champions Pro Figure, 10th place

Top Ten Female Fitness Stars in July

I haven't done a top ten on this blog in a while (if ever actually), so here are the top ten most searched for female fitness competitors, figure competitors, fitness models and female bodybuilders on this blog.



1. Megan Thomas
Number one on the list is personal trainer, fitness model, NPC figure competitor, MMA fighter and mother, Megan Thomas.



2. Andrea Cox
When I did my last entry on Andrea (actually there have been two) I didn't know she was a reflexologist and now a raw food advocate.
You can visit her website at http://www.thehealthyhaven.net/ and the raw food must work for her because she is still gorgeous.



3. Juliana Malacarne
Powerfully built would be an understatement for IFBB Figure Pro Juliana Malacarne.


4. Lisa Lowe
90s fitness star Lisa Lowe is still very popular so it seems. I even did a Hub Page on her.



5. Jackie Roberts
FAME Bikini Model Pro, Women's Tri-Fitness Athlete, ON/ABB Sponsored Athlete, fitness model, swimwear model and personal fitness trainer Jackie Roberts came in fifth.
Jackie is another young lady I did a Hub Page on.

.

6. Andrea Giacomi
5'8, 174 pound female bodybuilder Andrea Giacomi came in sixth.


7. Charlene Rink
This IFBB Pro Fitness competitor does wrestling, mixed wrestling and boxing. And she has a very large and loyal internet following.


8. Gabrielle Resnick
One of my favorites. (and not just because she actually visited the blog). I've done entries on her here and my Most Beautiful Women Blog.


9. Kristal Richardson
IFBB Professional Figure Competitor and personal trainer.


10. Laurie Donnelly
The Former ESPN Bodyshaping star and Former Ms Fitness America is still very active on the web proving some things never do go out of style.

Fitness Model, Cassandra Hope

cassandra hope - fitness beautyThis beautiful young lady is fitness model Cassandra Hope.
Cassandra is from Toronto, Ontario, Canada ( I still say they are doing some kind of genetic engineering up there).
She is 5'4 and weighs 125.
I think she is gorgeous, but to compete (and she does) she may have to get a bit more ripped to get the judge's attention.
I don't think she has any trouble getting attention from anyone else though.

Cassandra doesn't have her personal site up yet, but you can find out more about her at her ModelMayhem.com page here:

Female Fitness Model, Jennifer Nicole Lee

Jennifer Nicole Lee - female fitness model

This is the third time Jennifer Nicole Lee has shown up on this blog.
Heck, I could probably do a whole blog on just her.
Besides having an amazing physique, she has this animal intenstiy in her pictures.
I guess that's what got her the nickname "La Tigre".
Not content to just appear on the covers of over 30 magazines as a fitness model, Jennifer is also celebrity trainer, lifestyle and wellness expert and author.
Of course if you know anything about Jennifer, you have heard the story of how she lost 80 pounds after the birth of her children and got into the shape she's in today.
Which is incredible.

Jennifer is the official spokesperson for Ab Circle Pro, and she will be making two appearances on HSN, Sunday August 9th at 9:00 am, 2:00 pm and 9:00 pm EST and again on Monday August 10th at 9:00 am, and 8:00 pm EST.
