Tianna Ta - IFBB Bikini Pro

Tianna Ta by MTM Photography

I have done write ups on the gorgeous Tianna Ta on several of my blogs.
I did one or two back when she was "just" a model over at my Beautiful Asian Women blog, and when she started competing, I did a write up on her at my Asian Fitness Women blog.
But now that she is a full blown IFBB Bikini Pro, I thought I would add her here.

Tianna is five foot six inches tall and weighs 120 pounds.
She was born on Nov 5th, 1981in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Top Ten Fitness Beauties for November

I haven't done a top ten list here on this blog, but I thought I would do one featuring the most viewed female fitness competitors, figure competitors and bodybuilders on this site.
I have to admit that I was kind of happily surprised that most of the ladies that hit the top ten aren't widely known...yet.
I know how hard these ladies work to get in shape and to stay in shape.
They deserve recognition.
So without further ado, here are the top ten women from last month.
Starting with...

Coming in second is the sleek and muscled Melissa Merritt from Austin, Texas.

Number seven is the incredibly ripped Catherine Holland (Catherine Boshuizen). She's a IFBB Pro Figure Competitor, a fitness model and personal trainer.

Coming in at number eight is beautiful Finnish fitness competitor, flight attendant and aerobics instructor, Minna Pajulahti.

And finally rounding out the top ten is the beautiful British Colombian fitness beauty, Lisa Giesbrecht.
