| | Great Body April Hunter Fitness Model and More | | 2007-12-31 10:28:00 | | April Hunter is known as being much more than a fitness model. She was born on the 24th of September 1974 and was a professional wrestler, valet and fitness and glamor model, although her popularity is much higher than expected. The best example stands in her personal web site, AprilHunter.com, which features different movies and a paid monthly membership combined with a huge Internet following. April Hunter was voted as being the Most Popular Redhead on the Internet for several years running. She was born in Philadelphia although she eventually moved to Enterprise, Alabama after her parents split in order for her to live with the father. As many similar models she did start college but never finished it and dedicated her life towards something else. In April Hunter's case, it was not fitness but being an exotic dancer and eventually she started becoming an adult centerfold and fitness model.Her professional wrestling career is not big. You probably did see her in WCW and TNA, where she had a lot of success with the fans until she had to retire due to injuries. On the other hand, on August 30, 2006 she married a Canadian wrestler named Jordan Danyluk, also known as J.D. Michaels. To make everything more special, April Hunter is also slowly becoming a renowned journalist and photographer, having several articles and pictures published.

Lately we have noticed that she does a lot of work as a fitness consultant and it is quite easy to do as she can speak English, Swiss-German, French and German.

He is a 2 time Muay Thai world champion and was formerly a VIP bodyguard in Ivory Coast. He then immigrated to Hong Kong, where he became a celebrity. What made him this popular is his brutal training regime (which we will show later on), one very intense and explosive. This can be seen in his fighting record. He held 24 fights, won 21 (all by brutal knockouts) and lost only 3. You can not deny that he has a great body and although we can see quite a lot of muscles on him, Ngalani is also very, very fast. He was actually considered as one of the fastest heavyweight fighters in the world by "Le Monde du Muscle". As with all high profile fighters, Alain Ngalani also has a trademark move. Just like Ken Shamrock has the ankle lock, Alain Ngalani has "The Panther High Kick", which was very successful in his fighting career.There are been a lot of rumors that Alain Ngalani might make a K-1 debut soon but these are so far just rumors. It will be interesting to see if this happens though. Let us now take a look at some clips of Alain Ngalani. First let us take a look at one biceps and triceps workout:Now how about a nice abs work out since people keep wanting to see abs work outs. This is pretty intens and you should not try this at home, especially the one with the pull up bar since you might get injured:And now, to finish in style, take a look at a compilation that features Alaign Ngalani training in various situations, various exercises in his brutal work out and more:... | | By: Great Bodies | | |

His can be categorized as a Greco-Roman wrestler, a folkstyle wrestler and a mixed martial arts fighter. At the moment he is the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion and he is the only one that actually held both the light heavyweight and heavyweight division championships in the UFC. There are a lot of "only" in this fighter's career as you might know.
