Yuan Herong

It’s pretty rare that I cover a Chinese fitness model or bodybuilder. It doesn’t seem like it is a wildly popular pastime in China, and I supposed I’m just not exposed to much of the mainland China culture. But today we have an exception!

Yuan Herong works as a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. She is thirty years old, and was recently married. Although she dreamed of being a Kung Fu fighter when she was a kid, her parents, who are in the medical industry, forced her to follow medicine as a career. Darn parents!

Yuan has a tiny waist, and surprisingly broad shoulders. her quads are well-developed, and as you can see her abs are no joke.

She has competed at various times, and in fact I read some news stories that she was dieting for a bodybuilding competition when the Covid-19 virus took root in China. But I am not able to find any competition history to list for her.

Asian Fitness Models

Asian fitness models seem to be a rather hot topic in the industry these days. Although we were “smart” enough to devote our own category awhile back, we really haven’t discussed what’s going on with this trend. Well it’s time to tackle the topic.

There are a couple of reasons why publishers would specify Asian models for a production. Some efforts simply require a specific ethnicity. So if you are producing a commercial for a toothpaste branded in Spanish and offered mainly only to markets in Mexico, you would most likely hire a Hispanic model. Same thing for Asian-market items.

In other cases, the publisher is simply catering to the public’s desires. More specifically more on Asian fitness models

Valerie Ross

Valerie Ross (formerly known as Valerie White) is an Asian fitness model who seems to have a finger in every pie. It’s hard for me to use that saying since 10 or 15 years ago when American Pie came out. The name of the movie, and the scene with the waaaarm apple pie has sort of changed us forever. But I digress. Valerie’s full-time job is working as a medical sales rep in Edmonton in Canada. As you can tell, she spends more than a little time honing her physique, and she knows a thing or two about building muscle and burning fat. When she gets the urge or the opportunity, she does fitness modeling. And she also plays a lot of poker and writes articles for various websites talking about how to go about developing either a) your physique, or b) your poker talent. more Valerie Ross
