One of the things that I like about doing this blog is that I get to feature all types of women here. And thank you to the people out there that have commented on the diversity of the women I've presented.
Today's entry is Katka Kyptova. Katka is a fitness competitor, bench press competitor, personal trainer, coach and Pilates instructor. She was born on September 19th, 1983 in Mladá Boleslav, in the Czech Republic. She stands 5'5, and weighs from 138.9lbs contest weight to 169.7lbs off season.

Back in January of 2010, Celeste told RXMuscle.com that she was switching from figure to bodybuilding. The only link to the interview I could find is broken though.
Here's another look at the beautiful Lisa Cheng, aka "The Hong Kong Spider Woman".
I can't find a lot of info on Lisa except for her contest history:
Asian Championships (2007) - Women Body Fitness 160cm, 7th place Asian Championships (2007) - Women Fitness 160cm 4th place Asian Championships (2008) - Women Body Fitness, 3rd place Asian Championships (2008) - Women Fitness 160cm, 4th place
I really wish I knew if she was thinking about continuing with her MMA training.
Based on searches, here are the top ten Asian Fitness Women on this blog. This is all based on who was looked for the most here.
1. Monique Minton Yes, the beautiful half filipinia, half polish model Monique Minton, came in at number one, hands down.
2. Tanji Johnson Personal trainer, NPC Promoter and writer Tanji Johnson came in at number two.
3. Karen Pang Canadian born Fitness Competitor and Fitness Model Karen Pang in at number three.
4. Linda Minard This Korean actress and fitness model came in at number four.
5. Satoko Shinashi Female Japanese mixed martial arts fighter, Satoko Shinashi.
6. Jung Young Ji South Korean female Bodybuilder Jung Young Ji comes in at number six.
7. Lisa Cheng Lovely bodybuilder and rock climber Lisa Cheng from China, in at number seven.
8. MC Barao Beautiful Philippine fitness star MC Barao comes in at number eight.
9. Aki Nishimoto Japanese female bodybuilder Aki Nishimoto ranks in at number nine.
10. Michelle Jin And rounding out the top ten is Asian-American female bodybuilder Michelle Jin.
Quite a change from when I did this list back in May. Satoko Shinashi dropped from number 1 to number 4. Monique Minton went from number 2 to number 1. Aki Nishimoto dropped from number 5 to number 9. And the rest of the last list's member have totally fallen off the chart.
Michiko Nishiwaki (Nishiwaki Michiko) , was born on November 21, 1957 in Funabashi, Chiba, Japan. She is a former female bodybuilder, powerlifter, actress, fitness trainer, stunt woman, martial artist and fight choreographer. Michiko started out, as a lot of fitness stars did, in gymnastics. She looked into bodybuilding when she noticed how large her legs were when compared to her upper body, hoping that weightlifting would give her better symmetry. Michiko became a powerlifter, Japan's first female powerlifting champion and eventually Japan's first female bodybuilding champion. This was very unusual for a woman in Japanese society at that time. She also opened three fitness clubs with her brother. Michiko began her acting career in 1985 when she caught the eye of Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. (How many careers has Jackie Chan launched?) She appeared in his film "My Lucky Stars" a Hong Kong martial arts/comedy film as a Japanese fighter. Michiko landed several roles in Hong Kong movies after that, usually playing a villain or a femme fatale. After that, she returned to Japan, but then went to Thailand and made a few more films. Eventually she landed in the US and began a career as a stunt woman appearing in a lot of movies you may have seen, but had no idea that she was in. As a stunt woman she appeared in Blade, Man on the Moon, Charlie's Angels, Rush Hour 2, The Scorpion King, Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, Memoirs of a Geisha and Resident Evil: Extinction. She also worked on 2009's Afro Ninja as Yuko. Michiko has stunt doubled for Lucy Liu in four films and Kelly Hu in one.
Here she is in a clip from her first movie, "My Lucky Stars"...
You can find out even more about Michiko at her website here: http://www.geocities.com/michikonishiwaki/index.html
This beautiful young lady is Linda Minard. She is an actress and fitness model born in Seoul, South Korea and raised in Monterey Bay, California. Now I hope you are sitting down reading this. Linda is married and the mother of four children! And she is almost forty! That should inspire anyone out there! And talk about active, she has tried her hand at Judo, Karate, tennis, shot-put, discus, triple jump, hurdles, sprint relays, cheerleading, mountain biking, snowboarding, trapeze catches, rock climbing, adventure running, and natural bodybuilding. Is that enough?
As far as her acting goes, she is in a movie with Steven Seagal called "Driven to Kill" and is working on another film called "The Red Rooster".
She earned her Pro card at the 2008 FAME Canadian Nationals and I'm hoping we see a lot more of this lady up on the stage and the screen.
Here's another look at former aerobics instructor Korean female bodybuilder Mi-Hee Yu. She says that her weight had gotten up to 176 after the birth of her daughter and she wanted to lose weight so she took up bodybuilding. All of this muscle is packed onto a 5' 2½", 112-pound frame by the way. And she's an all natural bodybuilder.
Gorgeous female fitness model and female figure competitor Monique Minton. This beautiful young lady is half filipinia and half polish. She has been selected as the cover model for the 2009 March-April Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine.
Monique has competed in: The 2008 NPC John Sherman Classic Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championships, 1st place The 2008 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships, 3rd place The 2008 NPC Team Universe Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure National Championships, 4th place 2008 NPC National Bodybuilding & Figure Championships, 5th place
Here's another look at Christine Wan, IFBB Pro,personal trainer and photographer. In the last entry I only touched on her contest history, but here is an updated list of the Pro events she has taken part in:
2003 IFBB Masters Olympia And Jan Tana Pro, 7th place 2004 IFBB Pittsburgh Pro Figure, 16th place 2004 IFBB California Pro Figure, 17th place 2004 IFBB New York Pro Figure, 17th place 2005 IFBB San Francisco Pro, 9th place 2005 IFBB Pittsburgh Pro Figure, 12th place 2005 IFBB Atlanta Pro Figure, 8th place 2005 IFBB Europa Super Show, 7th place 2006 IFBB Pittsburgh Pro Figure, 8th place 2006 IFBB Motor City Pro Figure, 6th place 2006 IFBB Europa Super Show, 8th place 2007 IFBB Arnold Classic, 9th place 2007 IFBB Jan Tana Women's Bodybuilding And Figure Contest, 8th place 2007 IFBB Palm Beach Pro/Am, 10th place 2008 IFBB Jacksonville Pro-Figure / Dexter Jackson Classic, 17th place 2008 IFBB Atlantic City Pro, 1st place 2008 IFBB Kentucky Pro Figure, 10th place
The beautiful Lisa Cheng is a bodybuilder and rock climber (her nickname is “Hong Kong Spider Woman”). Here are a couple of links so you can see how pretty this lady really is.
Picture of Lisa with the trophy after winning the Ms. Bodyfitness competition at the 2008 Hong Kong Bodybuilding And Fitness Championships on April 20, 2008. http://www.jamd.com/image/g/80792271
See? She's beautiful. And besides her win at the Ms. Bodyfitness competition in 2008, she has competed in the 2007 Asian Championships, Ms. Fitness 4th place and Ms. Body Fitness, 7th place.
And Lisa is also considering a shot at female MMA as you can see in this video here:
The first lady I profiled on this blog was Japanese female bodybuilder Aki Nishimoto. This young lady has amazing muscle definition. And here is a shot of her very nicely developed arm.
The stunning Pauline Nordin. Pro Figure athlete, fitness model, actress, Certified Fitness Trainer and journalist, Pauline Nordin was born on July 23, 1982 in Ystad, Sweden. Pauline has been on the cover, and featured in several magazines, among them Oxygen, BODY, Ironman and Muscle and Fitness. She is a writer for Bodybuilding.com, and has been sponsored by Better Bodies and Optimum Nutrition Inc. She and her husband Pavel Ythjall own the fitness and wellness company Conforce.
Amateur bodybuilder Rebekah Kresila is from Cleveland, Ohio. She's a certified personal trainer and has training as a classical pianist. That's about all I could find out about this lady other than there are tons of pictures and videos of her out there on the net.
South Korean female Bodybuilder Jung Young Ji. Not a lot of info on this young lady, but I expect to see great things out of her. In 2007 she took first place at the Asian Championships in Women's Bodybuilding 58kg class (That's about 127 lbs. for the metrically challenged like me).
