Alexis overcame a severe car wreck and brought herself up to the level that she is today.

Had kids...check
Over 40...check
Severe accident...check
And look at her now!
The above picture is good, but go to her Model Mayhem page and take a look at the photos if you really want to see just how cut and ripped this lady is.

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.

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

Amber Elizabeth Fournier - Womens Fitness

Amber Elizabeth Fournier

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

Kristal Richardson - certified 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.
And this lady is a walking advertisement for her business.

Angela Mraz

Angela Mraz-fitness

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.
