For most women, being bombarded with sexy shots of another woman’s toned torso is more likely turn their stomach than tone it.
But despite her sexy Instagram feed, one Colombian bodybuilder has managed to inspire her legions of online followers – even the female ones.
Sonia Isaza, reached the 500,000 mark on Instagram this weekend, by continually treating her followers to pictures of her amazingly toned body.
The bodybuilder’s six-pack, ripped back and muscular biceps have inspired other women to start pumping iron in the gym too.
In response to one of Sonia’s posts, a fan wrote: ‘Your hard work, dedication and sacrifice in the gym/kitchen have certainly paid off. Thanks for inspiring all of us and keep it going!’
The exercise addict’s slogan is ‘live and let live’ and she proudly shows her curves in a selection of skimpy gear, promoting a ‘fitness culture’ for women everywhere.
Originally from the city of Pereira, which is located in the foothills of the Andes, the blonde bombshell moved to Cali in the south west of Colombia in 2006 in order to compete as a bodybuilder – sponsored by the sports nutrition brand Muscleology.
On reaching the 500,000 mark, the bodybuilder sent a message to her fans via her Facebook page.
Proud of her achievements, the gym addict describes herself as ‘a Colombian woman with a body worthy of admiration’.
On reaching the half a million mark, she wrote in her native Spanish: ‘Epaaa! You can’t imagine how happy I am. Thanks to you who are with me, I really thank you.’
She later posted: ‘Thanks for the support. Very excited.’
The exercise pro also posts videos on YouTube of her pumping iron and doing core-strengthening exercises such as the rotating plank, as well as tricep dips and press ups.
