Moving Inspirations

Have you ever caught yourself watching a film about athletics and found yourself getting worked up? While I am greatly inspired by the success of others, there is something about athletic movies that motivate me to no end. The thought recently crossed my mind when I was watching the Warrior again (great movie!) and I found myself wanting to run right out the door and go kickboxing or join the UFC! It's not the first movie to excite me. Heck I still get pumped watching films like Flash Dance or Rocky! :tongue:

I do however wonder if I'm the only cinephile who gets a fitness crave after watching a movie though? Do you have any movies that really inspire you to get fit or workout?

    That happens to me too. Mostly with dance movies. I think they are terrible films but I love seeing these flexible fit people doing crazy things with their body. Films like step up etc. I secretly love them.

    I know Black Swan made me want to start eating like a ballerina-- I mean, I was hunkered down with a movie theater popcorn but it momentarily glamorized the freakishly tiny portions of the MC.

    I'm definitely the same way with ballet or movies about ballet. It surely detours my appetite when I want a bite of something unhealthy.
