[PHOTOSTORY 2: MOTION] - Hitting the Gym

 By: Alden Barbour

Madison Abel enjoys spending an hour or so daily at her apartment's gym.

Abel typically starts her workouts on the rowing machine.

She maintains focus and balance while on the machine.

She plants her feet steady on the ground when lifting weights.

Abel is not picky when it comes to workout attire, "I honestly would rather just wear a t-shirt."

Abel shared that she "would rather do arm workouts than legs. There is nothing worse than leg day."

Abel's outfit choice for this gym day was a Beech Mountain t-shirt, gym shorts, and Hoka tennis shoes.

Abel shared that "going to the gym every day just makes me feel better about myself."

She was wearing her clinic shoes during her workout because she had left her regular workout shoes at a friend's house.

Powering through, Abel focuses on her goal of a few more minutes.

Next up, the bike is one of Abel's favorite pieces of equipment in the gym.

"I enjoy looking out the window and watching while on the bike," said Abel.

"I have a Peloton at my parent's house, so this is the next best thing when I'm in Savannah," said Madison.

Almost done! Madison counts down the seconds until her ride is complete.

Riding in style! Clinic shoes make for good workout shoes too.

Abel winds down the workout on the treadmill.

"I like to spend 30 minutes on the treadmill at the end of every workout, said Abel. It helps me to stretch."

Luckily, Abel had the gym to herself. 

The last few minutes of the workout. Abel lowers the speed, as she ends her walk.
