Unknown Fitness Beauty - Haley Almeida

One of the things I hate about Pinterest, Instagram, Tumbler etc is that they have pretty much eliminated the ability to find out who a model is.
Like this lovely lady that can go from very attractive to very fit with a single flex.
I had no idea who she was and a Google Image Search just turned up sites and generic hashtags.
The closest I could get was "Haley @xnrg.fit"
But I finally tracked her down after a long while and her name is Haley Almeida.

Winner!

Emily Reynolds - Female Fitness Competitors

I complain a lot about the lack of redheads in fitness.
Then when I do, I inevitably run across another gorgeous one that I have never seem before.
Case in point, the stunning Emily Reynolds.
Emily is not just drop dead gorgeous, she has overcome a LOT of obstacles to get to where she is today.

Today she is a WBFF Pro Diva Bikini athlete, an INBA pro bikini athlete, figure champion, competition coach, certified personal trainer and fitness model.

Paige McFarland - Fitness Model

I love to be proven wrong sometimes.
I have mentioned before that I dont see a lot of redhead fitness models and then I find women like Véronique Morin and Andrea Palazvelos.
And now Paige McFarland.

Paige is five foot three, 120 pounds and was born on April 8th, 1967.
That's right, she's 45 years old.
She's also a wife, mother and small business owner.

The only contest I could find with Paige in it was the 2010 NPC Dexter Jackson Bodybuilding, Figure, Fitness and Bikini where she came in 2nd.

I followed the links to her Facebook and Twitter and either my stuff us broken or they are not there anymore.
Which is sad.
