All Of My Fitness Beauties on Squidoo In One Place
Female fitness is a very popular topic.
Just do a quick web search and you will find thousands of sites devoted to the women of bodybuilding, fitness, figure and bikini competitions.
I guess like a lot of people, the first woman that I ever really noticed in fitness was Rachel McLish.
Rachel ruled female bodybuilding in the early 80s and she made a lot of people change their minds about what a female bodybuilder was supposed to look like.
She was lean, tan and though she had great definition, she wasn't big.
Then came Cory Everson who was Rachel's opposite.
She was blond and a bit bigger than Rachel, but still sleek and muscular.
ESPN did a lot to promote female fitness, showing competitions and hosting the fitness program BodyShaping.
BodyShaping was originally hosted by Cory, but it's well known for bringing the top female fitness models like the gorgeous Kiana Tom into the spotlight.
Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure and Bikini competitions all have their own set of rules, but each division has women that work just as hard as the men do to achieve physical perfection.
Though I had several female fitness blogs, I wanted to do Lenses on Squidoo to highlight my own personal favorites in the field.
I lean more towards Figure, Fitness and Bikini, because those women remind me more of the "Old Days" with fitness beauties like Rachel and Cory.

Amanda Latona - IFBB Bikini Pro
One of the top female fitness models
I have followed Amanda's career for a pretty good while and if anyone today embodies the Rachel McLish version of feminine perfection, it's Amanda.
But Amanda is not only an IFBB Bikini Pro, she's a singer as well.
As a matter of fact, she started out in an all girl singing group known called Innosense.
The members were Amanda, Danay Ferrer, Mandy Ashford, Nikki DeLoach and....Britney Spears!
In 2011 she had first place finishes at the 2011 IFBB MuscleContest Pro Bikini, the 2011 IFBB Titans Grand Prix Pro Bikini and the 2011 IFBB Sacramento Pro 212 and Bikini.
Monique Ricardo - Monique Minton - IFBB Bikini Pro
She could give Xena a run for her money
Another lady whose career I have followed is the gorgeous Monique (Minton) Ricardo.
Monique is to me the embodiment of the modern day Amazon.
She's five foot, ten inches tall, one hundred and fifty pounds and besides starting out in IFBB Figure competitions and moving on to IFBB Bikini, she is skilled in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ).
So much so, that in 2009, she won a gold medal in the Naga Europa (The North American Grappling Association) no gi division!
All that is on hold right now as Monique and her husband are expecting their first child.
But I REALLY hope she comes back after the birth.

Yes...it's Monique Minton Ricardo and Amanda Latona TOGETHER!
Kyla McGrath - Fitness Model
The MIA Kyla McGrath
Ahhh, Kyla McGrath.
Kyla is the sister of bodybuilder Frank (Wrath) McGrath who won the 2000 Newfoundland Championships and the 2003 Canadian Championships so good genes run in her family.
I saw pictures of her and really thought that she might very well be the next big thing.
But unfortunately, after the 2008 Miss Bikini Universe in Miami and the Flex Magazine Bikini Model Search at the 2008 Olympia she seems to have just vanished.
Even though she's gone from the spotlight, I did a Lens on her hoping that one day she may return.

Veronique Morin - Canadian Fitness Model
Gorgeous Red Haired Canadian Fitness Model
Veronique Morin is not only a Canadian Fitness Model, a WBFF Bikini Competitor and drop-dead gorgeous, but she's also a mother of two!
You dont see a lot of redhead fitness models, so she is a real stand out.

Figure, Fitness and Bikini in the Future
I am always on the look out for someone that catches my eye and for someone that I think will be the next big thing in Figure, Fitness and Bikini, so I do a lot of Lenses on the overall competitions so expect this Lensography to grow!
