The last time I did an entry on the gorgeous Jodie Minear, she was a fitness model and NPC figure competitor.
Now she is a fitness model and IFBB Figure Pro.
I think Jodie is one of the most beautiful women competing today.
She's the perfect blend of size, symmetry, sultriness, sexiness and I think I just ran out of adjectives that start with a S.

And since the last entry on her, Jodie has been pretty busy in competition....

Natalie Pennington - IFBB Bikini Pro

While doing research on these Asian fitness beauties, occasionally I run across someone that is so amazing, I can't believe I hadn’t found her before.
Stunning half Korean, half French IFBB Bikini Pro Natalie Pennington is one of those women.
I think Natalie ranks right up there in the top five most beautiful women I have ever presented on this blog.

IFBB Bikini is a new female fitness competition, just started this year by the IFBB (The International Federation of BodyBuilders), and at first, some people just looked at it as a glorified bikini competition, designed to sell more tickets.

But having seen these ladies in action, I think opinions are changing, as these women work just as hard as other female fitness competitors to get the look the judges want.
Some women have even crossed over from IFBB Figure over to bikini.

Back to Natalie though, this young lady can do something none of the other competitors can do.
She can make you look forward to a trip to the dentist.
Yes, Natalie is a full time dentist.

Natalie has appeared as a fitness model in issue 12 of Status Fitness Magazine, and I think you will see a LOT more of this gorgeous woman in the coming months.

Competition History:
2008 MuscleMania Fitness America Weekend - 5th Place
2008 UNBA Fitness America Southern Cal Regional - 1st Place
2009 NPC Team Universe - 2nd Place
2009 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships - 2nd Place
2009 NPC Contra Costa Bodybuilding, Figure & Fitness Championships - 1st Place
2010 IFBB MuscleContest Pro Bikini - 5th Place
2010 IFBB New Zealand Pro Figure & Bikini - 2nd Place

Veronica Yoo - Figure and Fitness Competitor

This beautiful young lady is figure and fitness competitor, fitness model, health columnist and personal trainer Veronica Yoo.
I cant find a whole lot about her, but from looking at her pics, I would expect that to change.

Contest History:

More Fitness Beauty Monique Minton

Of all the the female fitness models I've done on this blog, Monique Minton is hands down the favorite.
This lovely figure competitor and spokes model has scored again, appearing on what I think is her second Flex Magazine cover.
And this five foot, ten inch, one hundred and fifty pound, half filipinia beauty has added to her contest history since my first write up.
In addition to her other figure competitions, you can now add 1st place at the 2009 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships.
Yes Monique took first place!

What's next for her?
Well I have heard rumors of a possible MMA career.
Over at PureFight they have an interview with Monique after she won a gold medal in the no gi division at Naga Europa.
