Up Close and Personal with Danyelle Mastarone

KickAss Radio with Kristi Winger Szudlo welcomes Danyelle Mastarone, a NPC National Figure Competitor and HMB sponsored athlete, to talk about what keeps her busy this 2013: her recent competitions, being a competition prep coach, a NPC expeditor and judge, photoshoots, and a contributing writer for npcnewsonline. Listen in as she shares her memorable experiences in the world of fitness competition.

Fitness has always been a part of Danyelle’s life in one way or another, starting with “Get In Shape Girl” as a child. Through high school and college, she was the queen of workout videos, from tradition aerobics, step and of course the ever famous Buns of Steel. But to actually look like the women in her videos… talk about a pipe dream.

Fast forward to five years ago and she was teaching group fitness classes. She was definitely fit and in great shape, eating what she considered healthy, but not on formal plan or routine. A friend of hers and fellow instructor decided to train for a figure competition and encouraged her to do it as well. After witnessing her friend’s incredible transformation, as well as that of some other friends who had competed, she was not only going to compete herself, but she was going to do it better! She had absolutely no clue what she had just signed up for, nor the life change she was about to embark upon. After winning 1 Place in the Novice Category, she was hooked and couldn’t wait to get better and do this again. After 5 years, she is still in love with this sport! She not only competes herself, but trains and coaches others, judges, expedites and writes for the npcnewsonline.
