WOMEN WHO INSPIRE YOU

[yelly]

Just curious as to which women's bodies inspire you to reach your full potential. My absolute favorite is Maggie Diubaldo - she has abs to die for.

I think Dara Torres looks INCREDIBLE!

Carrie

 

[LauraMax]

Carrie! You beat me to it!

Linda Hamilton in T2:

Madonna!

Dana Tores is an inspiration to stay fit but I think her body is not feminine - looks too manly to me. Madana is just way too out there, she looks freakish now. Maggie Diubaldo is feminine and has a great body.

Cory Everson has always been my inspiration. She still looks awesome even at 50!

Gladys Portugues is still my idea of the ideal fit female body:

Got to say CATHE!!!!!!! Every time I see her on tv or on dvd, she inspires me!

Cory will always be my indpiration too. Her and Rachel McLish were my first inspirations.

 

[LauraMax]

Oh, here's a lady I'd like to smack for making me feel so frumpy & inadequate:

Laura, is that Gabriella Reese (sp?)???

Gayle

Cory will always be my indpiration too. Her and Rachel McLish were my first inspirations.

Rachel McLish is high on my list as well. My very first book on weight training (along with Arnold's encyclopedia) was her "Flex Appeal":

Here's an article on her from 2008

Here's a favorite Oxygen cover of mine:

I also like Jamie Eason. She's battled breast cancer, and looks AMAZING...

And here's one of Jelena Abbou:

OK, I think I changed my mind about this thread. Now I feel like a flabby old lady.

Gayle--yes, that's Gabrielle. How does she look like that having 2 kids & being our age?

Yeah, I'm going back to looking at the HOT MEN instead!!!

Well I am LOVING this thread!

For me the most inspiring woman in fitness is Tracie Long! She looked fantastic in the Firm Maximum Body Sculpting, Fitprime Strong Bear and Fast Cheetah and the TLT Yorktowns! Well, actually....in everything!

Toneka Pires

I have always been inspired by Toneka's body. I don't know how to make the pictures bigger . . . sorry






of course I am partial to her since she is a Savage girl and I spent a year under Cathy Savage with fabulous results.

 

[Gayle]

I'm inspired by the "do", not the "look". That's a big reason I've been so sucked into CrossFit. Chicks that can do stuff like this:

and this

and this

Now that's hawt!!

Not to mention that what you "do" cannot be airbrushed.

 

[exer_cited]

Another vote for Jamie Eason!!

Not only is she in incredible shape, she's ADORABLE!!!
