Today I read an e-book (The Secrets Of Fighting Female Flab Over 40 With Master’s Fitness Champ Maxine Johnson, available free on Tom Venuto’s Inner Circle) in which Anja Langer and Gladys Portuguese were mentioned. I hadn’t thought about them in forever, but after seeing their names, I spent some time googling for images. Quite a few are available on Anja Langer’s website. Her story is intriguing because although she had a bodybuilding career in the 1980s, she is still stunningly fit. Check out the shots from 2001.
I couldn’t find a single image of Gladys. She was a beautiful competitor as well.
Here’s a site with photos of a number of female competitors from the ’80s and ’90s. See what you think.
Images can be highly motivating.
