In my last Hub, The Top Ten IFBB Pro Bikini Competitors I did just that, the top ten.
So I thought I'd make a second and profile the next ten, to give you a top twenty.
Like I said in the first Hub, not everyone is crazy about the Bikini division, but with some of the figure competitors switching over, the division may be gaining more respect.
This will be the first real year of competition and it starts on March 27th, 2010.
Here are some more of the women that will be major players when competition gets under way.
Oh and by the way, I consider this "fitness" because these events are held by the IFBB, the International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness.
