Asian Fitness Beauties
85Asian 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
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 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 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
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.
Tanji Johnson
Tanji Johnson is not only a fitness competitor, but a former American Gladiator to boot!
On American Gladiators, her character was "Stealth".
She is of Black/Korean decent and was born in Bamberg, Germany.
In addition to being a fitness competitor and Gladiator, she is a personal trainer, NPC Promoter and writer.
Since American Gladiators, Tanji has gone back into competition heavy.
Just this year she has competed in the 2009 IFBB Arnold Classic, the 2009 IFBB Atlantic City Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championships and the 2009 IFBB Olympia.
In Atlantic City and at the Olympia, she came in a very respectable second place both times.
Lisa Cheng
Beautiful Lisa Cheng is not only a bodybuilder, but a rock climber as well,
She's so good at rock climbing, she's earned the nickname, “Hong Kong Spider Woman”.
Besides rock-climbing, I have heard that she might be looking at getting into MMA.
Lisa has a respectable contest history....
Asian Championships (2007) - Women Body Fitness, 7th place
Asian Championships (2007) - Women Fitness, 4th place
Asian Championships (2008) - Women Body Fitness, 3rd place
Asian Championships (2008) - Women Fitness, 4th place
Hong Kong Bodybuilding And Fitness Championships (2008)- 1st place.
Jung Dayeon
Jung Dayeon is the woman who started the "momjjang" (hot body) fad in Korea.
She transformed herself through exercise and diet, and is known as an expert on physical training and exercise now.
Jung has released a popular fitness book, a DVD called "Momjjang Diet" and even been in a K-drama (in Korea) called "Aquarius" where she played a fitness instructor.
You can see parts of her Figurerobics DVD on YouTube.
Maria Kang
Maria Kang is a fitness model, group director, fitness manager, personal trainer, communications specialist and spokesperson, but if you read very much about this beautiful young lady, you will see that her favorite role is mother. Read anything on her website and that love and dedication will shine through everything.
She is of Filipina, and Malaysian Chinese descent.
Her contest history:
1997 Miss Asia Pacific Islander
1998 Miss Petite Philippines
1998 Miss Petite Teen International
2003 Miss San Francisco Chinatown USA
