Cathy Cole - IFPA Figure Pro
http://femalefitnessfigurebodybuilders.blogspot.com/



This is IFPA Figure Pro Cathy Cole.
In case you are not familiar with IFPA, it's the International Fitness and Physique Association that sponsors professional level natural competition.

Well at least I have read that she was a IFPA Figure Pro.
I went to the IFPA and couldn't find a thing on her.
Maybe she is just no longer competing.



Either way, finding any info on her is like looking for Bigfoot.
I got some pictures...but no real proof.

(http://femalefitnessfigurebodybuilders.blogspot.com/)



This is one of those things I hate about doing this blog.
I ran across a picture of Savannah Rose on Tumbler and I can't find a thing about her other than pictures.
I say "Fitness Model" in the title because she is fit and she looks like a model.
But that's about all I have to go on.
All I could find were a few pics from around the web, but I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of her soon.

This is NPC Figure Competitor, dancer and model Swann Cardot.
You know when you see a model sometimes you think, "I don't know what it is...but she's got it!"
Well looking at Swann gives me the same feeling.
Kinda like the first time I saw a picture of Jennifer Nicole Lee.
Swann was born on November 19th, 1986 and has lived all over the world (France, Belgium, South Africa, Canada and finally New York City).

At the Lucia Cup in December 2010 she came in 6th in Body Fitness (which I think is like our Figure division in the US) and she came in 16th at the Battle of Scandinavia in April of 2011.

When she isn't competing, Michaela studies physiotherapy (physical therapy) at the Mälardalen University in Sweden.

I'm sorry, make that Dr. Sara Solomon.
Yes, she's a dentist AND a WBFF fitness model.

She was discovered and trained by Pro fitness model, Lyzabeth Lopez.
Besides being a dentist and a fitness model, Sara is an ACE-certified personal trainer, certified SPINNING instructor and university and continuing education lecturer.
Sara came in 2nd place at the 2011 WBFF Quebec Championship in Diva Fitness Model Tall Class and 4th in Diva Bikini Model Tall Class.




Here is Sara preparing for the 2010 WBFF World Championship last year.

Andressa Vieira - Brazilian Fitness Beauty

This is stunning Brazilian figure competitor and fitness model Eva Andressa Vieira.
I think she is absolutely gorgeous and she reminds me of a cross between Danica Patrick and TNA Knockout Sarita (Sarah Stock or Dark Angel for all you lucha libre fans out there).
I've read that she competes in figure, but it looks like with just a bit more mass, she could do bodybuilding easy.
But why mess with a good thing right?
This five foot nine fitness beauty started lifting weights because she felt she was too thin and wanted to improve her figure.
I think it worked!



Andressa Vieira's Female Fitness Competitions
2005 - Champion Paranaense Figure - NABBA
2006 - Brazilian Champion Figure - NABBA
2006 - Champion Paranaense Figure - NABBA
2008 - Champion Brazilian Body Fitness - IFBB
2009 - Overall Champion Brazilian Body Fitness - IFBB
2009 - South American Body Fitness - 3rd Place - IFBB



Here is a video with Eva on a talk show that is pretty popular on YouTube.
Wait till about seven minutes in...



By the way, Eva has her own YouTube channel here:

Kristal Marshall - IFBB Bikini Pro

This isn’t my first write up on the lovely Kristal Marshall by a long shot.
Back when she was in the WWE, I did several write up on her connected with wrestling.
But Kristal left the WWE, had a baby, and is now officially an IFBB Bikini Pro.

Kristal was born on November 11, 1983 in Los Angeles, California and you may know of her boyfriend (and the father of her baby) former collegiate amateur wrestler, former pro wrestler and mixed martial arts fighter Bobby Lashley.
(Bobby and Kristal were married in 2008, but split in April of 2010, but according to Kristal, they are still friends)

Before going to work for the WWE, Kristal competed in the 2004 Miss California pageant, she was a model for Deal or No Deal (she was the opening week model for case number five in season one) , she appeared in music videos by 50 Cent and Ma$e and was a Barker Beauty on The Price Is Right.

Kristal got into the WWE through the 2005 Raw Diva Search (she finished fourth), and the WWE liked what they saw, and Kristal was signed to a developmental contact and sent to Deep South Wrestling for training.

In December 2005, she joined the SmackDown! Roster as a backstage correspondent, but eventually made her way into the ring, having feuds with Jillian Hall, Ashley Massaro and Layla El before being released by the WWE in 2007.

She and Bobby made a few brief appearances in TNA, but nothing really came of that.



But now, as I said, Kristal is an IFBB Bikini Pro, she is looking amazing and she has done quite well for herself so far in competition....

2009 NPC Arnold Amateur Championships - 2nd Place
2009 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships - 1st Place
2010 IFBB New York Pro Bodybuilding & Bikini Championships - 4th Place

Fitness Model: Karen Pang

This is kind of a cross over post, as I have done a couple of write ups on fitness competitor, fitness model and swimsuit model Karen Pang over at my Asian Fitness blog.
She even came in third in the most popular women on that blog for June.

Amber Elizabeth Fournier - Womens Fitness

I've done one write up already on the stunning Amber Elizabeth Fournier on my other fitness blog, Female Fitness and Bodybuilding Beauties, but this incredible young lady deserves more than one look I think.
One thing that sets her apart from most of the women featured on this blog is that Amber was raised by a missionary family in the Congo.
Yes, Africa.
She keeps her lean yet muscular build by doing kickboxing, Pilates, weight training and CrossFit.
Amber has appeared on the covers and inside fitness magazines like Oxygen, Muscle & Fitness, HERS and Mens Fitness and others.

You can find out more about Amber at her website http://www.amberliz.com/

Angela Mraz

This beautiful young lady is figure champion, personal trainer, and model Angela Mraz.
Angela has had a stunning career with the WNBF in the past, but now that organization has banned her.
Hard to believe isn't it?
Look at part of her contest history.....
2001 - Northern NJ NPC Classic (1st Place)
2001 - Southern NJ NPC Classic (1st Place)
2001 - Golds Classic (1st Place)
2002 - NPC Jr. USA Nationals (1st Overall)
2002 - NPC Team Universe (8th Place)
2005 - 1st Place, INBF Figure Division
2005 - 1st Place, WNBF Figure Champion
2005 - 1st Place, Best Body Award
2005 - 1st Place, WNBF and Ms. Exercise Worlds
2006 - 1st Place, WNBF North East Championships
2006 - 1st Place, WNBF Ms. Exercise Worlds

See all those 1st place wins?
Well the WNBF banned her for appearing in a magazine they didn't publish.
I would have looked at it as good PR, but they didn't.

If you don't think their treatment of Angela is fair, you can contact the WNBF here:
http://www.wnbf.net/contact.html
But remember, if you do, the best path to take is to be respectful and state why you disagree with this decision.

And if you'd like to learn more about Angela, go to her website here:

Oksana Grishina, IFBB Pro Russian Fitness Competitor

Oksana Grishina is IFBB Pro Russian Fitness Competitor.
She was born in Kaliningrad, Russia.
This 5'3", 116 lbs lady started her professional career while working in a Fitness Club as a personal trainer.

Jackie Roberts - Tri Fitness Athlete

Usually the ladies featured on here are well rounded.
But Jackie Roberts takes that to another level.
She is a FAME Bikini Model Pro, Women's Tri-Fitness Athlete, ON/ABB Sponsored Athlete, fitness model, swimwear model and a personal fitness trainer.
And Jackie graduated Washington State University with a major in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Spanish.
She's competed in Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure competitions.
But that probably seems tame next to her love of competing in Women's Tri-Fitness challenges.
These events usually consist of a Fitness Event ( they perform a a maximum 2-minute routine, and are judged on strength moves, flexibility, endurance, choreography and overall performance and presentation), Fitness Skills (box jump, bench press and a shuttle run), Obstacle Course ( pulling out all the stops here with a 10 foot Wall, Running Grid, Incline/Decline Monkey Bars, Balance Beam, 15 foot Cargo Net, Shuttle Run, 2 Low Hurdles, Steeple chase jump over water, Sprint and Under and Over Bar) and finally an optional Grace/Physique round.
Is that good enough for you?
