Draft Audio Story

I interviewed Makalen Hughes who’s dad has been a professional body builder for 5 years now. Makalen, mom and her sister and brother have traveled to many places with thier dad so that he could participate in numerous body building competitions around the United States. I felt like Makalen was an excellent person to interview on the topic of fitness and health because she has also competed with her dad at some of the competitions, and they work out together regularly. Makalen and her dad both feel that regular workout is incredibly important. Just because they do competitions for it and tend to work out more than the average person. It is still important for mental stability and to help someone gain confidence in themselves, and makes people feel and look healthier. Makalen often goes to the gym here at Washington State University. She runs on the treadmill and she says it helps her anxiety a lot because when she is running she is able to think through her schedule and her upcoming week. She also says that it makes her feel accomplished after she finishes a run. She sparked my inspiration for this because she had many good points that could be backed up because of what her and her dad have competed in. While interviewing her we talked a lot about fitness because she is very passionate and interested in everything health and fitness. Overall, I think that this insight was helpful to me because I learned a lot as I picked Makalen’s brain on this topic. She was very insightful and had lots of knowledge to give because she is always reading up on the latest trends and fads about health tips and new workouts. She was happy to have someone who can partially relate because I work out myself.
