in Motivation and Support
Hey Friends.
SO I want to make a list of movies or tv shows that make us feel like getting in shape or get our butts in gear and work out.
I know any type of dance movie usually motivates me. Here is some that I can think of.
Please add any more you can think of!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Step Up
Center Stage
Last Dance
Blue Crush
Make it or Break It (TV)
Footloose
Dirty Dancing 1&2

    This might sound a little odd, but I put Avatar on the TV to watch while on the treadmill the other day!!! Watching those lean lithe bodies running and jumping around realy kept me going haha

    I have a few:

    First is "I want to look like that guy" which is a recent documentary on what is required to be like a cover model. Revealing stuff.

    I would have to say "Stick It" - movies on gymnastics are always much more impressive than dance movies to me.

    Dragonball Z - Whilst an anime it is definitely positive for training

    I watch G.I. Jane for motivation. Nothing like a gal that can do one-armed pushups to impress and inspire!!

    Girlfight!

    I love the empowerment makeover, and I love seeing the kind of dedication a woman boxer has to have. If they can do all that, I can definitely lose a pound or two.

    I've actually gotten a lot of inspiration from Extreme Makeover: Weightloss Edition. I know those people get a lot of extra help, but they still manage great things in the span of a year. It got me interested in going back to the gym again.

    Extreme Makeover, the fact that these people are much bigger than "Biggest Loser" and still lose it, is motivating.

    another vote for Blue Crush and GirlFight here

    Also Lost - Kate's toned bod and the way she kicks *kitten* is motivational.
