What movies motivate you during a workout?

trekkiebeth

My main cardio activity is the stationary bike I have at home, and I find that watching certain kinds of movies helps motivate me to go faster and longer. My favorite movies to watch while working out are Bend It Like Beckham, Bring It On, and Miss Congeniality.

What are your favorites?

Movies with a lot of action make me workout harder.... like Death Race... fast cars, lots of fights, etc. I get going SO fast and I can't even help it.

Remember The Titans
Rudy
The Blind Side

All three of these remind me that I have to work for what I want!!!

*should note I don't watch them while I workout. I usually run or hike outside, lol. These are just movies that inspire me.

I work out too hard generally even on stationary equipment at the gym to be able to concentrate on watching a movie..

I dont watch movies while I workout cuz Im paying attention to how my body feels. but the film score to Conan the Barbarian (1982) really drives my workout to an epic pace

I don't watch films during exercise, but I do feel motivated by the same sort of genre that you do. So check out Blue Crush and Stick It.

Music. Have to listen with the headphones on to get the full impact - not to mention that I also have to drown-out my husband who is also working out on a treadmill next to me, with headphones on, singing out of key at the top of his lungs! He's lucky I love him. :laugh:

Terminator 2, cuz of Sarah Connor. I like watching action movies when I work out. I do bodyrock at home and Nike Training Club...so its usually TV or iTunes.

Those look like they'll be motivating. Thanks!

Once when I was at the gym I hopped on the ARC trainer and checked out the tv and Top Gun was starting. Yup, that was a great workout!!!! Usually I run outdoors this time of year, but it will be gym time again soon enough!!!

Work out on the treadmill most of the time when I am not outside doing the bike or walking the trail. But usually have music going with the headphones on. I am married to Queen Christine, and yes I do sing no matter where I work out at. I figure what the heck I will probably never meet these people. The music just keeps me fired up and moving faster! So why stop, I can't hear how bad I sound! Love the burn!
