Media that Motivates and Drives you...

HisEminence

As human beings we are often moved by the written word, a beautiful song or a motion picture. What are the kinds of media that move and drive you to get and stay motivated. For me the Rocky movies are like a shot of adrenaline. In music, certain songs like Elvis's Hound Dog are pure energy for me...what is it for you?

Watching "What Not to Wear" makes me pedal that stationary bike just a little bit harder...

Second the powerful heroines in movies: Kill Bill, Terminator 2, for instance. I am ready to do pushups to exhaustion after watching Linda Hamilton **** that weapon with one hand in T2 or seeing Uma Thurman drag her body by her elbows to escape the hospital. Very motivating!

I love watching Braveheart- the sheer stamina and determination of those Scots positively wows me. As for music, it is on constantly, and I let it be a background for my runs so I can meditate...

I hate to admit it but any before and after pictures and videos on youtube or tumblr do it for me...

I don't like this kind of music for daily listening but that kind of 'you can go hard or you can go home' here:

or this sean paul song "she doesn't mind" video makes me motivated to be fit like the ladies** in the video

**I love that he uses some 'thicker' women, too, they're not all skinny, but the one who gets him in the end is predictably slim, but I'm in love with her...girl crush!

I don't like this kind of music....I'm a classic rock hard rock girl...

And that's why I'm going to see the Stones on Sunday!! London! Woooo hoooo!!
