More Fitness Beauty Monique Minton

Of all the the female fitness models I've done on this blog, Monique Minton is hands down the favorite.
This lovely figure competitor and spokes model has scored again, appearing on what I think is her second Flex Magazine cover.
And this five foot, ten inch, one hundred and fifty pound, half filipinia beauty has added to her contest history since my first write up.
In addition to her other figure competitions, you can now add 1st place at the 2009 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships.
Yes Monique took first place!

What's next for her?
Well I have heard rumors of a possible MMA career.
Over at PureFight they have an interview with Monique after she won a gold medal in the no gi division at Naga Europa.
You can see it here.
Can you imagine Monique Minton in the steel cage?

Lisa Cheng, Another Look

Here's another look at the beautiful Lisa Cheng, aka "The Hong Kong Spider Woman".

I can't find a lot of info on Lisa except for her contest history:

Asian Championships (2007) - Women Body Fitness 160cm, 7th place
Asian Championships (2007) - Women Fitness 160cm 4th place
Asian Championships (2008) - Women Body Fitness, 3rd place
Asian Championships (2008) - Women Fitness 160cm, 4th place

I really wish I knew if she was thinking about continuing with her MMA training.

Linda Minard

This beautiful young lady is Linda Minard.
She is an actress and fitness model born in Seoul, South Korea and raised in Monterey Bay, California.
Now I hope you are sitting down reading this.
Linda is married and the mother of four children!
And she is almost forty!
That should inspire anyone out there!
And talk about active, she has tried her hand at Judo, Karate, tennis, shot-put, discus, triple jump, hurdles, sprint relays, cheerleading, mountain biking, snowboarding, trapeze catches, rock climbing, adventure running, and natural bodybuilding.
Is that enough?

As far as her acting goes, she is in a movie with Steven Seagal called "Driven to Kill" and is working on another film called "The Red Rooster".

She earned her Pro card at the 2008 FAME Canadian Nationals and I'm hoping we see a lot more of this lady up on the stage and the screen.

You can find out a lot more about Linda by visiting her website here:

Hisae Watanabe

And here is the lady that handed Satoko Shinashi her first loss, Hisae Watanabe.
Hisae was born on October 21, 1980 in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.
She has been competeing since 2002 and is a former DEEP Ladies' Lightweight champion with a MMA record of 19-6-0.

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:
http://www.shinashi.com/

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

Mi-Hee Yu, Another Look

Here's another look at former aerobics instructor Korean female bodybuilder Mi-Hee Yu.
She says that her weight had gotten up to 176 after the birth of her daughter and she wanted to lose weight so she took up bodybuilding.
All of this muscle is packed onto a 5' 2½", 112-pound frame by the way.
And she's an all natural bodybuilder.

Lisa Cheng

The beautiful Lisa Cheng is a bodybuilder and rock climber (her nickname is “Hong Kong Spider Woman”).
Here are a couple of links so you can see how pretty this lady really is.

Picture of Lisa with the trophy after winning the Ms. Bodyfitness competition at the 2008 Hong Kong Bodybuilding And Fitness Championships on April 20, 2008.

Picture of Lisa posing during the competition

See? She's beautiful.
And besides her win at the Ms. Bodyfitness competition in 2008, she has competed in the 2007 Asian Championships, Ms. Fitness 4th place and Ms. Body Fitness, 7th place.

And Lisa is also considering a shot at female MMA as you can see in this video here:

Aki Nishimoto, Another Look

The first lady I profiled on this blog was Japanese female bodybuilder Aki Nishimoto.
This young lady has amazing muscle definition.
And here is a shot of her very nicely developed arm.

Amateur Bodybuilder Rebekah Kresila

Amateur bodybuilder Rebekah Kresila is from Cleveland, Ohio.
She's a certified personal trainer and has training as a classical pianist.
That's about all I could find out about this lady other than there are tons of pictures and videos of her out there on the net.

South Korean Bodybuilder Jung Young Ji

South Korean female Bodybuilder Jung Young Ji.
Not a lot of info on this young lady, but I expect to see great things out of her.
In 2007 she took first place at the Asian Championships in Women's Bodybuilding 58kg class (That's about 127 lbs. for the metrically challenged like me).

Japanese Female Bodybuilder, Tomoko Kanda

Tomoko Kanda is a Japanese female bodybuilder.
She was born and raised in Osaka Japan.
Besides being a bodybuilder Tomoko has a Master's degree in management from Troy State University in Troy, Alabama.
She has competed in several bodybuilding competitions.
In 2002, she took first place at All Japan Bodybuilding in the Masters category.
Also in 2002, she took first place in the All Japan Open Bench Press competition in the 56kg weight class.
In 2004, she took first place at the Osaka/Kansai bodybuilding competition and was runner up at the All Japan Bodybuilding competition.

Chinese-American bodybuilder "Lili" Xin Li Cao

Chinese-American bodybuilder "Lili" Xin Li Cao (or Cao Xin Li) was born in Mongolia in 1981.
She started practicing Judo at the age of 12, switched to weightlifting at 15, then started bodybuilding training in 1998.

Lili has competed in the 2000 General Assembly Session of the National Sports Competition, the Chinese national Bodybuilding championship, the Asian Bodybuilding Championship, the Chinese national, and Asian bodybuilding championships among others, and has won many of them.
Right now she is training for the Eighth World Games to be held in Taiwan in 2009.

Despite her obvious power, when you watch videos of this lady, she seems..I really hate to say this..but cute.
I know cute isn't a word usually associated with massive bodybuilders, but she seems to have a very open and sweet disposition.

You can check out her website here:

South Korean bodybuilder Mi-Hee Yu

Couldn't find a lot of info on South Korean bodybuilder Mi-Hee Yu other than she has had two children and started training AFTER she had them.
So yes, this is how cut and ripped this lady is after having kids.
I swear I cannot see how they do it.
Two kids, married and works as well.
Bodybuilding is basically an amateur sport in South Korea, so she doesn't get paid for it, she does it for the love of the sport.
But imagine having to manage her regular life, plus make time to hit the gym and watch what she eats.
My hat is off to these ladies that can keep that up.
And look this good doing it!
