KASEY WILSON

In this week's episode, Celeste speaks with IFBB Pro Kasey
Wilson, a Speech Pathologist and Posing Coach with a burning
passion for fitness and living a healthy lifestyle. Kasey started
competing in 2016 on a whim and fell in love with the sport after
winning her class. She continued to compete while obtaining her
undergrad and master’s program, eventually earning her IFBB Pro
Card at Universe In 2019. Kasey went on to receive first call
outs at San Antonio Classic at her first pro show with an
impressive seasoned lineup. 


Kasey and Celeste start off the episode by discussing the lessons
Kasey has learned from competing on a National stage. She
elaborates on why going into a show thinking you will get first
can be detrimental and to embrace the journey not the placement.
Kasey opens up with Celeste about prepping while her father was
diagnosed with cancer and how her father’s fight gave her the
strength to continue.


Kasey explains how she grew up loving the arts and did not begin
to lift weights until the age of 19. She gives credit to her
coach for the past 4 years, and expresses how their professional
relationship was key to success at growing into the IFBB Pro
stage. Furthermore, Kasey states that being part of a well-known
team is not a factor for judged in placement.


Kasey states that although you may bring your personal best
package to the stage, it may not be the look the judges are
looking for that day. She also gives tips on saving money during
prep to include the bikini, shows, hotels, and meals. 


Celeste and Kasey discuss food choices on prep and post-season.
Kasey reminisces on how little she understood macros when she
began her NPC journey, and now appreciates how taking a flexible
approach in improvement season can be mentally beneficial. Kasey
isn’t afraid to have a glass of wine or a hearty slice of cake if
she believes it will benefit her in ways other than fitness,
“Food isn’t just food; It is part of our social culture.” 


Finally, Celeste asks Kasey her favorite exercises and questions
by viewers! Kasey’s realistic lifestyle, her successes in the
NPC/IFBB, and a mesmerizing personality create an episode you do
not want to miss!
