Asian Fitness Beauties

So I have Asian Hubs and Fitness Hubs, so why not combine the two and do an Asian Fitness Hub?
So I did.
And here is the result, chock full of female bodybuilders, female mixed martial artists, female fitness models and female fitness competitors.

Rebekah Kresila

Rebekah Kresila

Amateur bodybuilder Rebekah Kresila is from Cleveland, Ohio.
Rebekah is a certified personal trainer and has training as a classical pianist.
Do a search for her on the internet and you will find tons of videos and pictures were she's posing, flexing, doing mixed wrestling and arm wrestling.

Satoko Shinashi
Satoko Shinashi

Satoko Shinashi

Satoko Shinashi was born on January 29 (my birthday!), 1977 in Tokyo, Japan and is a female MMA fighter.
Mixed martial arts fighters have to be in shape, a lot of the fitness models use MMA training as a way to stay in shape.
Satoko is trained in Judo, Sambo (a Russian martial art), and jiu-jitsu in her matches, and is known for her armbars.
Her MMA record is 29-2- 2 with 23 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 only MMA losses were to Mai Ichii by decision and Hisae Watanabe by knockout.

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 and shes a female MMA fighter and former kickboxer.
She has been competing since 2002 and in her first fight she was disqualified for using an illegal kick.
Satoko is a former DEEP Ladies' Lightweight champion and she has a MMA record of 19-6-0.
And yes, that leopard print two piece outfit is her standard fighting gear.

Denise Paglia

Denise Paglia

Denise Paglia was very popular in the fitness magazines in the 90s, and her fame has carried over to today.
You may remember her from the 90s TV show, Fitness Beach on ESPN2.
I read that she was of Japanese and Italian descent and she is sometimes listed as Denise-Paglia-Cole.
Not only is Denise is a Certified AFAA Fitness Trainer, but she was a fitness competitor as well.
Denise placed in the 1992 and 1993 Fitness America National Pageants, and she came in 5th at the 1995 Fitness Olympia.
She was on the cover of the very first issue of the fitness magazine, Muscle & Fitness Hers.

Michelle Jin

Michelle Jin

This is Asian-American female bodybuilder Michelle Jin.
She was born in China, but moved to the US when she 18.
Michelle is competing in amateur contests right now, mainly in natural bodybuilding.
Other than that, I don't have a lot of info on her.
Then again, her mass and definition speaks for itself.
Like Rebekah Kresila, Michelle does a lot of posing and wrestling videos.

In Atlantic City and at the Olympia, she came in a very respectable second place both times.

One of the reasons I post these Hubs is for inspiration.

Think about yourself looking TWICE as good as one of these women, and you will!
