Betsy McNally Harris

When most people first see a picture of IFBB Fitness pro, ISSA certified sports nutritionist and personal trainer Betsy McNally Harris, the first thing that usually crosses their minds is "Killer legs!



And I don't think anyone can argue with that.
Betsy is the daughter of retired NFL offensive line coach, Jim McNally and before fitness, she spent twelve years as a competitive gymnast.
Betsy is one of those women that can go from lean (as in the picture above) to bulked up and still look amazing.



At Betsy's website, you can find out about her personal training sessions, group sessions, bootcamps, meal plans.

Melyssa Buhl - Beautiful Fitness Women

There was quite a stir back last September when it looked like the WWE had signed the gorgeous Melyssa Buhl.
Alas those rumors were just that, rumors, and Melyssa never graced a WWE ring.
This five foot ten fitness model from Vancouver Canada would have made a fine addition to the Diva roster.



And for some reason, she kinda reminds me of Madusa back in the day.
Also, this is NOT professional downhill and mountain-cross racer Melyssa Buhl.
Totally different person.

Drop dead gorgeous Jessica Anderson won the first ever National Bikini Overall Champion title at the very first NPC National Bikini competition in Hollywood Florida in November of 2009, and she got her IFBB Pro card at the same event.

Jodie Minear - IFBB Figure Pro

The last time I did an entry on the gorgeous Jodie Minear, she was a fitness model and NPC figure competitor.
Now she is a fitness model and IFBB Figure Pro.
I think Jodie is one of the most beautiful women competing today.
She's the perfect blend of size, symmetry, sultriness, sexiness and I think I just ran out of adjectives that start with a S.

Torrie Wilson - Fitness Competitor and Fitness Model

Here is a blast from the past in a way.
Many of you may know Torrie Wilson as a female wrestler, but before Torrie ever set foot in a wrestling ring, she was a both a female fitness competitor and female fitness model.
Torrie was born on July 24, 1975 in Boise, Idaho.
Before becoming a fitness model, as she was growing up Torrie was into cheerleading, dance, and track and field.
But starting at the age of fourteen, Torrie began to suffer with anorexia nervosa and bulimia.
She started a fitness program, working out and eating six meals a day as a way to overcome this and plunged head-long into fitness.
Torrie entered her first fitness competition and placed third, then went on to win the Miss Galaxy competition in 1998.


Lisa Marie Varon, 2nd from left, Torrie Wilson far right
http://www.womenstri-fitness.com/art_wwf_wtf.htm

At that competition she met Lisa Marie Varon, another fitness competitor.
Lisa went on to become Victoria in the WWF/WWE and Tara in TNA.
The meeting in 1998 was the start of a life-long friendship.
Also in 1998, Torrie took part in the Women's Tri-Fitness Championships, and placed first in the Grace and Physique round, also doing very well in the Fitness Routine and Obstacle Course.
Lisa Marie was also a top ten finalist in that competition.



As a fitness model, Torrie appeared in several of the muscle and fitness magazines swimsuit issues, as did another one of the fitness beauties who later turned female wrestler, Trish Stratus.
