Fitness Model - Alexis Ray Thompson

Alexis Ray Thompson is the (believe it or not) mother of three boys and she's also (believe it or not) 45 years old!
Alexis overcame a severe car wreck and brought herself up to the level that she is today.
This 5' 5", 120 pound redhead from Cincinnati, Ohio should set an example that you can do anything if you commit your mind and body.
Had kids...check
Over 40...check
Severe accident...check
And look at her now!

Norma Carrasquilla - Female Fitness Competitor

This absolutely stunning young lady is fitness competitor, fitness model, glamor model and three time Colombian Fitness Champion, Norma Carrasquilla.

I do know she was born on May 8th, 1908, she's 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 130 well placed pounds.
I read that she was a three time Colombian Fitness Champion, but I cant find out what championships they were, so that kinda eliminates the contest history section.

Female fitness competitor and figure competitor Tanya Merryman was one of the first women I profiled here on this blog.

But where a lot of fitness models fade away, Tanya has come back stronger than ever.

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.

Fitness Model, Cassandra Hope

This 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kristal Richardson, IFBB Pro and Personal Trainer

This beautiful lady is Kristal Richardson.
Believe it or not, after only two competitions, Kristal became a IFBB Professional Figure Competitor!
She was born on April 28th, 1976 in Bloomington, Illinois.
Kristal started out in jazz dance and gymnastics at an early age, and moved on to cheerleading, track, and volleyball.

In March 2006, she competed in her first regional Figure competition in San Francisco, The Steel Rose.
Kristal not only won her class, but she also won the overall show, which allowed her to go to the national level.

Then in rapid order she had her 30th birthday, married Tom Richardson (the man that got her into serious training) and competed at the North American national competition, where she won her class and got her Pro Card.

She is now a certified personal trainer and has her own business training and consulting on health and nutrition.

Sherry Goggin Revisited

I did an entry on Sherry Goggin (Sherry Goggin Giardina) back in 2007 but this lady is definitely worth another look.
She was popular doing fitness modeling in the muscle magazines back in the 90's and she is still going strong without missing a step.
Check out her Model Mayhem page if you have any doubts.
Sherry is a Ms. Fitness America Champion from Chattanooga, Tennessee and she has an incredible lean, shapely and muscular physique.
She is an actress, spokesmodel, real estate agent, and the VP of the Trainers Association.
Sherry has appeared in Physical, Ironman, Oxygen and BUILT magazines among many more.
This 5'6", 108 pound beauty is not one to just sit around. Visit her website and look at all the things she is doing right now.

And did you know that she was a contestant on the original "American Gladiators" back in 1991?

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.
