Jung Da-Yeon - Mom-chan Diet Wii Figureobics

Jung Da-Yeon maybe 44 years old and have two kids, but look at her.
Yes one of the most popular Asian fitness women on this blog is about to become even more popular.
"Momjjang ajumma" (mom with a striking figure) is about to have her very own Wii game released, Mom-chan Diet Wii Figureobics by Jung Da-Yeon.



The game will feature over thirty exercises, and have camera control, plus management tools for storing your weight, BMI and other vital statistics.

The game will come out this December in Japan and sell for ¥3,990.
So far, no US release is scheduled.

And now I am thinking that Jung may possibly be an immortal.

Rin Nakai - Female MMA

And another female mixed martial artist....
Female MMA fighter Rin Nakai was recently ranked number seven in the world among female fighters in the Super Flyweight category.
Which kinda confuses me because at Sherdog, Rin is listed at 135 which would put her in the Bantamweight category.
Anyway, one look at her and you can tell why she's on the Asian Fitness blog.
Besides the fact that she has to be in shape to compete in MMA, take a look at those biceps.
And she's five foot one.
Rin's MMA record at the moment is 7-0-0, with 2 wins by TKOs, 2 wins by submission (an armbar and a Kimura/reverse keylock) and 3 wins by decision.



Her last victory was over Megumi Yabushita by Unanimous Decision at GCM - Valkyrie 6 on June 19th, 2010.

Here is Rin taking on Tomomi Sunaba at Pancrase - Shining 10 on December 7th, 2008

She has her ISSA personal training certification, she's a fitness model, a bikini competitor and a CBBF Canadian National Figure Competitor.

Karen recently competed at the BC Provincial Championships and came in 2nd in Bikini.

I have no idea.

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

Monique Minton - Female Fitness Competitor

Monique Minton continues to be one of the most popular female fitness competitors on this blog.
And there's little wonder why.
This lovely half filipinia, half polish model has graced the cover of not only female fitness magazines, but muscle and fitness mags like Flex several times.
And the beautiful five foot, ten inch, one hundred and fifty pound fitness beauty keeps adding to her list of female fitness competitions...

2008 NPC John Sherman Classic Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championship - 1st Place
2008 NPC National Bodybuilding & Figure Championships - 5th Place
2008 NPC Team Universe Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure National Championships - 4th Place
2008 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships - 3rd Place
2009 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships - 1st Place
2010 IFBB Olympia - NP
2010 IFBB MuscleContest Pro Bikini - 2nd Place

And as I have mentioned before, besides competitions and fitness modeling, Monique is training in BJJ and MMA, so I wonder if we will see her debut in the steel cage?

Chisato Mishima - Asian Fitness Beauty

Asian fitness beauty Chisato Mishima was (and as far as I know still is ) the first Japanese aerobic athlete to compete in the IFSB Ms. Fitness and IFBB Ms. Fitness Professional female fitness competitions.
She was born in Nagoya, Japan on November 17, 1967.
Chisato was always big in sports, becoming a Japan national gymnastics champion during high school.
After graduating with a degree in sociology, she moved to Tokyo and became went into teaching fitness training at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium.
During the first half of the nineties, she became one of Japan's top aerobic competitors.
Around 1995, she moved to London to compete in the European Ms. Fitness women's fitness competition.
While she was in London, she coached several top English and European bodybuilders and taught aerobics at the famous Earls Court Gym.
Chisato qualified for the World Championships to be held in the U.S. and moved to San Diego in 1997.
After competing there, she visited Nice in the South of France to represent Japan in the Ms. Fitness Olympia.
Upon getting her degree in exercise physiology, Chisato moved back to Nagoya.
Then, after retiring from fitness competition, she became a Jodo Instructor at the Haruyoshi Kobudo Dojo in Nagoya, Japan.
Okay, I didn't misspell Judo there...Jodo is a Japanese martial art using short staffs, similar to bōjutsu.



Here are a couple of videos I found on YouTube of Chisato that were done back in 2006, that were posted by jfkcotter



And here is another (also posted by jfkcotter) called "Chisato Mishima - Introduction by the sea"

Gail Kim - Asian Fitness Women

Well we took a departure last time with MMA, so let's move a little further away into the world of pro wrestling.
Even if wrestling is staged, you have to be in shape to take the bumps, bruises and chairshots that wrestlers get every week (and in some cases every night).

So let's start with Gail Kim.
Gail is a Canadian-born pro wrestler, valet, model, and actress of Korean descent.
She has held the Womens Wrestling Championship in both the WWE and TNA.

Before wrestling, Gail participated in basketball, volleyball, soccer, baseball and badminton, and was named "Athlete of the Year" twice at York Memorial Collegiate Institute in Toronto.
She studied kinesiology at the University of Toronto and nutrition at Ryerson University.

And of course as I mentioned before, Gail was both the WWE Women's Champion and the TNA Women's World Champion.
