pam_franklin_phixr.jpgI remember purchasing a black and white tv some 20 years ago and being asked by the salesperson if I was planning to view reruns of The Twilight Zone. This photo is from the homespun website of Texas female bodybuilder Pam Franklin, who appears to date it from around 1986. I think that was the last time that the New York Mets won the World Series

Pam: “I was born and raised in Texas. I grew up around Corpus Christi, TX, which is where I first started working out seriously. My favorite body part to workout is back. I am married with two children. My husband, Darrell, has always helped me with my training. My children are competitive athletes. My son attends college and my daughter is an honor student and Fitness competitor.”

Muscle Moms as Role Models

Jodi Fonfa is 42-years-old with three children, but she’s in better physical shape than most high-school cheerleaders. She has worked as Sharon Stone’s personal trainer; held the title of Miss National Fitness Champion; and most recently, reports daily to her office at 24 Hour Fitness, where she’s a master instructor.

Though Fonfa looks like she should be on the cover of Muscle & Fitness magazine, she’s not the type of mother who wakes her children up to the sound of a trumpet, requesting that they give her 20.

“It’s about keeping a healthy attitude,” she said. “I just want them to have fun and enjoy life without taking it so seriously.”

Araceli Segarra (Lleida 1973) es conocida como la primera mujer española en coronar el techo del mundo, el mítico Everest. Y en esta ocasión debe ser conocida, además, por su colaboración con un proyecto que fomenta y facilita la adopción de animales de compañía abandonados.
A los 15 años Araceli se inició en la espeleología alcanzando su cota más baja (-1.070 metros) en la sima GSEM, Málaga. Tres años después escalaría su primer 3.000 y a los 21 realizaría su primera expedición al Himalaya. Kenia, Pakistán, Tibet, Marruecos, Estados Unidos, Francia, Italia, Canadá, Nepal, India, Mali, Líbano, China, México, Argentina… son muchas y muy distantes las montañas que ha escalado hasta el momento.

Araceli, que se diplomó en Fisioterapia por la Universidad Blanquerna, ha colaborado en numerosos programas de radio y televisión, y ha escrito para periódicos y revistas. Participó en la realización del documental “Everest, Mountain without Mercy” de la Nacional Geographic y participó en el rodaje de la película “Siete años en el Tíbet” (de Brad Pitt) como ayudante de cámara. Igualmente fue protagonista del documental “Mujeres y K2” de la Nacional Geographic.

trembley.jpgJe suis née à Montréal le 8 Août 1966 et j’ai grandi à Laprairie sur la rive sud de Montréal. J’ai fait mes étude secondaire au Collège De La Mennais et à la Polyvalente de la Magdeleine où j’ai obtenue un diplôme d’étude secondaire et un diplôme en coiffure. En 1995, je suis déménagé en Estrie.

Toute jeune, j’étais déjà très active. À l’âge de deux ans, je courais et grimpais partout. Mes parents avaient quoi devenir fou! Quand j’ai eu 4 ans, ils m’ont inscrit à des cours de ballet classique. À 5 ans, c’était le patinage artistique et, à 8 ans, le ballet jazz que j’ai d’ailleurs poursuivie près de 8 ans.

Au secondaire, j’étais très timide. Pour passer le temps, je faisais beaucoup de sport, surtout de la natation et je faisais un peu de gymnastique dans le cadre des cours d’éducation physiques. Ce sport me passionnait et j’aurais voulu poursuivre pour faire de la compétition, mais les écoles de gymnastique étaient rares à l’époque. Après le secondaire, je suis entrée sur le marché du travail et j’ai laissé de côté toutes mais activités.

Swintayla Marie Cash (born on September 22, 1979), better known as Swin Cash is an American WNBA player who plays for the Seattle Storm. A prolific scorer and rebounder, as well as a capable ball handler and defender, she helped lead the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team to national titles in 2000 and 2002. In her second WNBA season, she led the Detroit Shock to their first ever WNBA title.

Cash was an All-American at the University of Connecticut (UConn). She won the NCAA Women’s Division I Basketball Championship with the UConn Huskies in 2000 and 2002. She also helped lead UConn to an undefeated 39-0 season in 2002.

Cash was selected by the Detroit Shock in the 2002 WNBA Draft, second overall. After leading the Shock’s resurgence in the second half of her rookie season, she then led the Detroit Shock to their first WNBA Championship title in 2003. She played in the 2003 WNBA All-Star Game and won the gold medal with the U.S. women’s basketball team at the 2004 Olympic Games.

In the off-season, Cash has appeared as a studio analyst on ESPN’s NBA Fastbreak, according to ESPN.com.
