Top Ten Fitness Beauties

I haven't done a top ten list here on this blog, but I thought I would do one featuring the most viewed female fitness competitors, figure competitors and bodybuilders on this site.
I have to admit that I was kind of happily surprised that most of the ladies that hit the top ten aren't widely known...yet.
I know how hard these ladies work to get in shape and to stay in shape.
They deserve recognition.
So without further ado, here are the top ten women from last month.
Starting with...

Fitness and Figure Competitor and personal trainer from Hungary, Gabriella Bankuti, was by far the most viewed of the fitness beauties on this site.

Coming in second is the sleek and muscled Melissa Merritt from Austin, Texas.

Third up is fitness babe Shonda Lee from Shreveport, Louisiana.

Our fourth lady is the breath-taking NPC figure competitor, Jodie Minear.

Fitness model and personal trainer Mary Jarmolowich came in fifth.

Professional Fitness Model and NPC National Figure Competitor Kavvy Sonhos came in at number six.

Number seven is the incredibly ripped Catherine Holland (Catherine Boshuizen). She's a IFBB Pro Figure Competitor, a fitness model and personal trainer.

Coming in at number eight is beautiful Finnish fitness competitor, flight attendant and aerobics instructor, Minna Pajulahti.

National Figure Competitor and Fitness Model Dora Trikoupis comes in at number nine.

And finally rounding out the top ten is the beautiful British Colombian fitness beauty, Lisa Giesbrecht.

Fitness Beauty - Sasha Brown

Whatever you call her, this five foot six, one hundred and twenty two pound fitness beauty from the Ukraine is a NPC figure competitor, ISSA certified personal trainer and fitness model.
And she has studied Jujutsu for over six years.
You know I keep expecting to see a sudden surge of female fitness stars going into MMA, but that hasn't happened....yet.
Besides fitness, Sasha has a degree in computer science and business management.
And is looking to get more degrees in kinesiology and sports nutrition.
In her second NPC figure competition, Sasha took first place and overall.

Here's a video I thought was pretty cool of Sasha doing a little mixed arm wrestling, posted by KrivStudiosBlog
