Andressa Vieira - Brazilian Fitness Beauty

This is stunning Brazilian figure competitor and fitness model Eva Andressa Vieira.
I think she is absolutely gorgeous and she reminds me of a cross between Danica Patrick and TNA Knockout Sarita (Sarah Stock or Dark Angel for all you lucha libre fans out there).
I've read that she competes in figure, but it looks like with just a bit more mass, she could do bodybuilding easy.
But why mess with a good thing right?
This five foot nine fitness beauty started lifting weights because she felt she was too thin and wanted to improve her figure.
I think it worked!



Andressa Vieira's Female Fitness Competitions
2005 - Champion Paranaense Figure - NABBA
2006 - Brazilian Champion Figure - NABBA
2006 - Champion Paranaense Figure - NABBA
2008 - Champion Brazilian Body Fitness - IFBB
2009 - Overall Champion Brazilian Body Fitness - IFBB
2009 - South American Body Fitness - 3rd Place - IFBB



Here is a video with Eva on a talk show that is pretty popular on YouTube.
Wait till about seven minutes in...



By the way, Eva has her own YouTube channel here:

Jelena (also known as Jelena Djordjevic) was born on April 2nd, 1977 in Gornji Milanovac, Serbia.
This gorgeous figure competitor, fitness model and certified personal trainer, now lives in the US, having left Serbia when she was 20 years old.

Amanda Latona - IFBB Bikini Pro

Amanda is not only a bikini and fitness model competitor, but also a print model, M.C., spokes model, host, actress, certified personal trainer and a singer!
A long time ago, she was in an all girls singing group called Innosense.
You may not know the name, but one of her fellow group members was Britney Spears.

Mary Jarmolowich - Fitness Beauty

I did a write up on fitness model and bikini competitor Mary Jarmolowich over on my other fitness beauties blog awhile back and she is one of the most popular women there.

She took first place at the FAME Sin City Bikini contest in 2008, and also in 2008 she competed in the FLEX Magazine Bikini Contest taking third place.
In 2009, she placed 7th at the WBFF Worlds -Pro Diva Fitness Model competition.

Fitness Model - Alexis Ray Thompson

Alexis Ray Thompson is the (believe it or not) mother of three boys and she's also (believe it or not) 45 years old!
Alexis overcame a severe car wreck and brought herself up to the level that she is today.
This 5' 5", 120 pound redhead from Cincinnati, Ohio should set an example that you can do anything if you commit your mind and body.
Had kids...check
Over 40...check
Severe accident...check
And look at her now!
The above picture is good, but go to her Model Mayhem page and take a look at the photos if you really want to see just how cut and ripped this lady is.
Hint: The pool table picture is almost as close to perfection as you are gonna see.

Norma Carrasquilla - Female Fitness Competitor

This absolutely stunning young lady is fitness competitor, fitness model, glamor model and three time Colombian Fitness Champion, Norma Carrasquilla.

I do know she was born on May 8th, 1908, she's 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 130 well placed pounds.
I read that she was a three time Colombian Fitness Champion, but I cant find out what championships they were, so that kinda eliminates the contest history section.
