Female Fitness Models and Fitness Women

Here is my sixth article devoted entirely to female fitness models, female fitness competitors, female bodybuilders, female figure competitors and just fitness beauties in general.

These women don't just wake up one day looking like this.

They put a lot of hard work into looking fit as a fitness model, looking lean and ripped as a fitness competitor, or getting the size and symmetry needed to be a female bodybuilder.
But through all the blood, sweat and tears, their eyes are focused on one goal.
To be the best that they can be in whatever field they pursue.

So here are some of the up and coming beautiful women in the field of fitness.

Gail Sanez

Gail Sanez is a Women's Tri-Fitness competitor.
She was born on October 2nd, 1981 in Lynchburg, Virginia and currently lives in Fairfax, Virginia.
Gail is five foot two and weighs in at around 115 pounds.
She started out in gymnastics when she was eight, and has been athletic ever since.
Gail competed in the 2004 Fitness Success Challenge and the 2004 Womens Tri-Fitness in Las Vegas.

I really would like to know how you draw the line between fitness competitors and bodybuilders. I'd sure call alina popa a bodybuilder based on all of that muscle.
