More Linda Minard

I did a write up not long ago on the lovely South Korean star Linda Minard.
I mentioned that she got her Pro Card at the 2008 FAME Canadian Nationals.
Well here is a picture of the beautiful Linda in contest shape.
I thought she looked fit in her other pics but wow!
The next stop for Linda is the FAME World Championships in Montreal.
And Linda appeared in the Oxygen Magazine "Abs Special" Issue.
Looking at her abs, is there any wonder why?

You can find out more about Linda at her website here

Monique Minton in Flex Magazine

So I was in Barnes and Noble yesterday and I was looking at the magazines and my eyes landed on this month's Flex Magazine.
And look who is on the cover!
Yes, right there on the right hand side of the cover is our very own Monique Minton.
Okay, she's not "our" very own, but I have done write ups on her here and on my other fitness blogs.
This is the second time the beautiful Monique has appeared on the cover of Flex that I know of.

Flex has also put up some of their videos from the making of their swimsuit issue here.
