Sexy Bikini Fitness Model Alessandra Ambrosio
Dry Flowing Hair
The temperature may be low but this is the time for those hot bikini shoots.
It maybe January but Spring Break is just a few month away.
We can always daydream about the summer or for us snow bunnies, manage to get away from the cold to a warm, sunny beach.
If we need an incentive to go to the gym and work out during these cold months, just take a look of these bikini pictures of Alessandra Ambrosio during a photo shoot in Mauritius in the Mascarene Islands for Victoria's Secret.
Wet Hair Look
Alessandra Ambrosio looked super sexy in this aqua marine bikini top with pink flower petal designs and bikini bottom with ring tied.
Whether flinging her golden streaked hair to the wind or presenting a very wet hairdo look, one must admit that she is truly a stunning model.
It's only been 5 month since Ambrosio gave birth to a beautiful 6.3 lbs. baby girl Anja Louise last August and she managed to get rid of all the baby fat by working out.
In fact, she was in tip top shape for Victoria's Secret annual fashion show which taped in November, 2008, less than three month after giving birth.
Ambrosio has appeared in all the Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows since 2000.
Her most famous walk down the run for Victoria's Secret occurred in 2005 when she was wearing lingerie made entirely out of candy.
Her former roommates were also top Victoria's Secret model Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima.
In additional to her multimillion dollar Victoria's Secret contract, Alessandra also models for Armani Exchange and Next U.K.
According to Forbes magazine, Alessandra Ambrosio ranked fifth on the top 10 richest supermodels list with earnings of over $6 million.
Ambrosio is also a designer with her own line Sais by Alessandra Ambrosio.
So take a good look at Ambrosio fit and trim bikini body, and then head to your favorite gym. Remember, summer is just a few months away.
Rachel Greba Interview
This interview is with Rachel Greba the Bikini competitor. In her first show, Rachel looked incredible. In the future, with her taking jiu-jitsu classes, with plans to compete and possible compete in MMA, I may also get to interview Rachel Greba the fighter. Rachel is that rare person who can appeal to both the fitness fans and MMA fans. Whether competing or fighting, no doubt Rachel will be a success.
Q: First, Rachel, I want to thank you for taking the time to do this.A: Thank you
Q: Can you start out by telling a little about yourself.
A; Well I’m in college. I plan on studying International Affairs at UC next year. I’m currently at a community college. I live in Northern KY, born in Dover, OH. I’m a HUGE Steelers fan (Dad is from Pittsburgh). I’m Italian/German. Grandmother is from Italy, and my mom’s side is from Germany. I’m about 5’2”.
Q: Before the gym were you an especially athletic person? Play any sports or anything?
A: Yeah, I would say I was. I played soccer for my high school. I was a defender. I tried tennis, volleyball, basketball. Practically everything but track or cross country.
Q: What initially led you into the gym?
A: My friend decided she wanted to join and I told her I would do it with her. She did it for maybe a week.
Q: Was training something you picked up fairly easy? How long before you started to see results?
A: Yeah I had great people who were teaching and helping me out. Started seeing results right off the bat.
Q: What made you decide to compete for the first time?
A: Actually it was a guy I was seeing who told me he thought I would do well and met some other people who have competed and who had connections.
Q: Is competing something your family and friends supported?A: My family yes, my mom used to compete in bodybuilding. Friends supported but didn’t understand. Probably could say our relationships aren’t as good as they used to be.
Q: Was competing what you expected or did anything surprise you about it?
A: It was what I expected for the most part. I didn’t realize how hard dieting was going to be and how much it makes your mood change. But I was informed about everything ahead of time.
Q: Can you share your contest history.
A: Just one so far, Beverly Northern KY, I was 18. Planning on another one soon.
Q: As far as body parts, what do you feel is your best one?
A: Best either shoulders or quads.
Q: Do you have a part you most like to train?
A: Back and glutes
Q: What is your normal training routine and diet like and how do you alter it for contest prep ?
A: I isolate all muscles when training. I do morning cardio before breakfast and post workout cardio. I currently taken up Jiujitsu which I do 2 to 3 times a week. My diet is much of a ‘diet’ off season. I don’t want to burn myself out. Maybe to others it would be. Cut calories and cut out the junk. In off season I try to stay away from dairy, sugar, bread and a few other carbs. I try to keep my portion sizes down.
Q: When someone sees your physique or hears you compete for the first time, what is the most common reaction? More positive or negative?
A: I guess there usually kind of speechless and positive usually. I don’t pay much attention anymore.
Q: When they see it that first time, what is the one question or comment you are most sick of hearing?A: Usually something about the bikini class. They don’t always associate it with bodybuilding, and can’t wrap there heads around it.
Q: What is the biggest misconception about women who train and compete or the one thing you wish people understood?
A: Just because you work out and lift doesn’t mean you’re going to get huge. Oh and also those who think it’s a selfish sport if you turn it around it can be a lonely sport as well.
Q: What is the best and worst part of training for you?
A: Best: Seeing how my body changes in a short amount of time. Worst: Dieting.
Q: Do you have any favorite competitors or any you admire?
A: Yes a few of the girls that I competed against.
Q: Do you have a favorite cheat food?
A: A greasy sandwich and peanut butter fudge/ or oreos…mmmm (I’m at fat girl at heart)
Q: If another woman told you she wanted to start training, what is the one piece of advice you would most want to give her?
A: If you like it or not diet is everything
Q: Do you think its becoming more common for women to use the weights as opposed to just doing cardio and things?
A: I sure hope so, having a firm muscular body is beautiful
Q: Outside of training, any other hobbies or activities you enjoy?
A; I took up Jiu jitsu recently and defiantly plan on competing. I’m an aggressive competitor and have a passion for fighting. I have a black belt in taekwondo which I was in for 5 to 6 years.
Q: Can you describe a typical day in the life of Rachel Greba.
A: Hmm school, study, work, work out, watch movies and try to hang with friends
Q: Describe Rachel Greba in five words.
A: Determined, genuine, loyal, calm, friendly
Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?
A: I enjoy reading and fighting obviously. People are surprised when they learn that about me though. I love studying and learning about different cultures. I think it makes you more well rounded and not take things you have for granted.
Q: Any set plans for the near future as far as competing or anything else?
A: Competing in jiu jitsu, and maybe in the future MMA. Who knows. Looking at the Monster Mash possibly.
Q: Anything you want to take this opportunity to plug or promote?A: Thank you everyone who took the time out of there days to help me get where I’m at today with the diets and appointments. Adam who helped me the most to get there and put up with me.
Q: Are you looking for sponsors? If so how can they reach you and what are they getting in Rachel Greba the athlete and competitor?
A: Well I don’t know how many competitions I’ll do because of time, age, and how well its going to correspond with my JJ training (jiu jitsu). But they can find me on facebook easily. Contact me through email. I’m easy going, huge competitor and always try my best.
Q: Rachel, again, I thank you for taking the time to do this. Any last words before you go?
A: Keep motivated, and put yourself around others who help you stay motivated.
And thank you!
Kelly Ripa Trainer Fitness
!. Apple is the next Sony without Steve Jobs. The good news is that they might be eligible for a federal bailout.
2. Regis is retiring. I nominate myself as his replacement. I'm not qualified for the job, but I do have a thing for Kelly Ripa.
3. In other news, Kelly Ripa has taken out a restraining order against me. Apparently she has been getting those emails I sent. Damn.
4. SC has a new governor. My advice to her is to not serve Indian food at those state dinners. It has about the same impact as Mexican food.
5. Dick Cheney may get a heart transplant. Unfortunately, that soul transplant didn't take, so the heart transplant will probably fail.
6. Ricky Gervais pissed off a lot of people at the Golden Globes. Apparently, there were a lot of fans of The Tourist there.
7. Kelly, please please PLEASE let me be co-host. I promise not to wear the G-string thingy.
8. I almost shit my pants today. I am blaming it on Sarah Palin for creating a climate of diarrhea. (NOTE TO NIKKI: Don't serve that Indian food if you want to avoid the same fate as Palin.)
9. One can only hope that Steve just ate some Indian food and will be back at Apple.
10. OK, dammit. More Kelly Ripa for you:

Fitness And Workout Guidelines By American Council Of Exercise (ACE)
American Council on Exercise (ACE), is America’s nonprofit fitness organization, ladvocates many important fitness and workout guidelines to encourage individuals to maintain their fitness goals and, ultimately, resulting in improved, more effective exercise routines in their fitness program.
* Its Important To Consult a specialist (Meera : Cerified Yoga & aerobics Instructer Call: 91-011-22784403 New Delhi India) for a fitness assessment prior to workout: Take the time for an prior evaluation is an significant way to measure your level of progress. you are making in your workouts. It may be that your weight may initially remain the same, an assessment by a Aerobics & fitness Instructer will give you the opportunity to measure progress that is not readily apparent including changes in body fat, as well as overall strength you have build up and aerobic capacity.
* Always Give quality mind-and-body workout - It Must be kept in mind to Avoid any kind of xtremely intense or overly stressful workouts: Power Yoga or Pilates classes are a solid option because they emphasize the mind-body connection focusing on breathing and stretching.
* Avoid Falling into an inefficient, monotonous routine: To maximize your training results, avoid going through the motions and take note of your heart rate or perceived exertion level to stay in an appropriate training zone. In many cases, you may find that a workout companions provides motivation and can help you to pick up the pace of your training.
* Stay Inspired and motivated - Avoid Aimless workouts: Keep yourself Inspired and challenged by setting new goals and trying new classes everyday. Tailor workouts to a favorite sport you like. Usually Seasonal, sports-specific training will help keep you motivated at the gym.
* You Need To be patient – Don't expect to see results too fast or too soon: It is too easy to become discouraged if you are looking for immediate or “overnight” results. Many exercise-induced physiological changes may take three to six months, or even longer for some people. Remember that regular exercise and proper nutrition are important elements in producing positive change in your body.
* Its Important to Add variety to keep your workouts balanced and stimulating: Focusing Only on ne type of exercise training or a single aspect of fitness can cause overuse injury, boredom or plateau or no progress. You should try a variety of weight training or aerobics exercises to continually challenge your body and your mind.

Don’t be afraid to swallow your pride and ask the staff for assistance again --- that is why they are there to give you best sculpted body. To ensure a safe workout for you and maximize results, make the most of your workout by asking your fitness yoga or aerobics instructer for guidance whenever you need it.

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
