Unlike many of the fit babe we cover, she is not a figure, fitness, or bikini competitor.  Despite what she looks like (i.e. a fitness model), Rebecca is actually a powerlifter.  She holds a world record in bench press.  She set this record several years ago at the age of 17 when at a bodyweight of 105 lbs, she put up an incredible 130 lbs.  In doing so, she destroyed the previous record of 117.5 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, one reason Rebecca has such unusual strength is genetics.  A few years back, her father won a senior record when he was able to bench press over 360 lbs at a bodyweight of 160 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>After moving to LA to pursue acting, Rebecca landed a few small roles here and there.  It was when she was featured on Amazing Race that she was nationally and internationally recognized.  <!--more more Rebecca Cardon-->The show really focused on her incredible body and her strength.  She now hosts the show on Bravo called Work Out.  She is also a personal trainer and a spin teacher.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitbabesblog.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/22\/rebecca-cardon.html\/rebecca-cardon-1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4553\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fitbabesblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/rebecca-cardon-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Rebecca Cardon pic\" title=\"rebecca-cardon-1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4553\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitbabesblog.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/22\/rebecca-cardon.html\/rebecca-cardon-2\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4554\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fitbabesblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/rebecca-cardon-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Rebecca Cardon pic\" title=\"rebecca-cardon-2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4554\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitbabesblog.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/22\/rebecca-cardon.html\/rebecca-cardon-3\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4555\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fitbabesblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/rebecca-cardon-3-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Rebecca Cardon pic\" title=\"rebecca-cardon-3\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4555\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitbabesblog.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/22\/rebecca-cardon.html\/rebecca-cardon-4\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4556\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fitbabesblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/rebecca-cardon-4-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Rebecca Cardon pic\" title=\"rebecca-cardon-4\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-4556\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, she really does have a movie-star face and body.
