Top Ten Asian Fitness Women for June

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.

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.

Dale Tomita

This fitness competitor from Hawaii was very popular in the 90s.
She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1964 and is of Japanese-American descent.
This 5 foot 2 inch, 116 pound beauty graced the cover and insides of the major fitness mags.
And like several other fitness competitors, Dale started out in gymnastics until an injury forced to give that up.

Contest History:
1995 IFBB Olympia, 4th place
1996 IFBB Olympia, 4th place
1997 IFBB Arnold Classic And Internationals, 4th place
1997 IFBB Czech Pro Fitness, 1st place
1997 IFBB Ms. Olympia, 5th place

Denise Paglia

Another former ESPN beauty, Denise Paglia.
Denise was very popular in the fitness magazines in the 90s, and her fame has carried over to today.
As popular though as this beautiful lady is, I really cant find much info on her.
I read that she was of Japanese and Italian descent.
She is sometimes listed as Denise-Paglia-Cole.
Denise is a Certified AFAA Fitness Trainer.
Besides Fitness Beach, she appeared on Cyberfit and Bodyshaping.
As female fitness competitor, Denise placed in the 1992 and 1993 Fitness America National Pageants, and she came in 5th at the 1995 Fitness Olympia.
She was on the cover of the very first issue of the fitness magazine Muscle & Fitness Hers.
Sadly, I can't find a MySpace page for her.

Monique Minton

This beautiful young lady is female fitness model and female figure competitor Monique Minton.
I did a write up on this lovely half filipinia, half polish model over at one of my other fitness blogs, but I wanted to include her here as well.
She's the cover girl for the 2009 March-April Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine, and she racked up an impressive list of contests finishes in 2008.
1st place at the The 2008 NPC John Sherman Classic Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championships, 3rd place at the The 2008 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships, 4th place at the 2008 NPC Team Universe Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure National Championships, 5th place at the 2008 NPC National Bodybuilding & Figure Championships and 1st place at the 2007 NPC Gateway Classic.
"Stunning" seems to be the term a lot of people apply to this competitor, and with good reason.
"Momo" has a website in the works, but at the time of this entry, it's not up yet.
But here's the link in case you'd like to bookmark it and check back....

Tanji Johnson, Another Look

Here's another couple of pictures of fitness competitor Tanji Johnson.
These are both in her American Gladiators gear.
Even though American Gladiators will no longer be seen on NBC-TV, there is a rumor the show may be picked up by another company.
And even if Tanji is no longer associated with the show, the certified personal trainer, NPC promoter and writer will have lots of avenues to keep busy.
Despite her name, I doubt you'll have a hard time seeing more of "Stealth".

Barbara Engelsmann

Barbara Engelsmann is a IFBB Pro Figure, certified personal trainer and fitness model.
Born on June 25th, 1995, in Stuttgart, Germany, this young lady is of European/Asian descent.
She competed in several amateur competitions in Europe from 2001-2003.
And she competed in several IFBB PRO Figure Competitions in the US.
The 2004 IFBB Europa Super Show (16th place), the 2004 Bulk Nutrition/Charlotte Pro (16th place), the 2005 Tournament of Champions (14th place) and the 2005 Sacramento Pro Fitness and Pro Figure (16th place).

So... Happy Birthday May!

MC Barao

This 5'4" 109 pound beauty was born in the Philippines and raised in Houston Texas.
She appears to be just starting out, with a website coming soon, http://www.mcbarao.com/
Maybe when the website is up I can get some more info.
I have no idea if she has been in any figure competitions, if she's a personal trainer (although I did read where she said she wanted to help people with their fitness goals) or anything like that.
MAYBE she'll stop by and enlighten us.

Fitness Model: Mai Tran

Mai Tran is a Fitness model, Bikini model and Import Car model.
This 5'1, 96 pound (yes that's right...96 pounds!) Vietnamese (she was born in the US, but both her parents are Vietnamese) beauty is very popular on the internet.
And rightly so.
She has been in fitness magazines such as MuscleMag, Oxygen, Muscle and Fitness, Muscular Development and Flex.
And this is a "hat-trick" for Mai.
I have featured her before on my fitness blog and my beautiful women blog!

IFBB Fitness Pro Nicole Rollolazo

I have already done one write up on IFBB Fitness Pro Nicole Rollolazo over at my Female Fitness blog, but she needs to be included here as well.
Nicole is a female fitness competitor, model and personal trainer.
And the lovely Nicole is half Filipino.
Besides her long list of fitness competitions (her most recent begin 8th place at the 2008 IFBB 15th Annual Sports/Fitness Weekend and Europa IFBB Super Show and 7th place at the
2008 IFBB Houston Pro Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Contest), Nicole was also in a movie back in 2003 with Timea Majorova, Elaine Goodlad and several other fitness athletes called "The Interplanetary Surplus Male and Amazon Women of Outer Space".
Nicole contributed to the book "The Body Sculpting Bible for Women : The Way to Physical Perfection".
So I guess she's actually an actress, author, female fitness competitor, model and personal trainer.

May Maung

Beautiful May Maung was born in Burma.
She is a fitness model, personal trainer, sports nutritionist.
And besides all that, she is a MMA Ring Girl.
May also does fitness competitions, but I couldn't find the usual list....sorry.
This muscular, lean, and feminine lady stands 5' 4" and weighs 115 lbs.
And judging from her photos, that's all muscle.

Fitness Athlete: Lyen Wong

Lyen Wong was born Milagros Lyen Wong Aseguinolaza on August 5, 1980 in Matanzas, Cuba.
She is a German-Cuban fitness athlete of Spanish, African and Chinese decent.
Lyen began as a fitness trainer in 2003 and moved into fitness competitions in 2005.
She has participated in the 2007 Miss Universe Fitness, NAC International taking second place, the 2007 Miss Fitness, International German championship again taking second place and the Miss Bikini Contest at Mr. Olympia taking third place.
Before that, she competed in several fitness competitions in Germany taking first place in many, including the Miss Fitness, International German championship and the Miss Universe Shape N.A.B.B.A. International.
