I just got the TV/DVD hooked up in front of the tredmill and was wondering if you have any inspirational movies you'd recommend?

Terminator 2 is one of my favorites. Linda Hamilton is BAD in that movie.

More??

    It's got to be a movie that really captures your attention. Something you can lose yourself in while your on the treadmill (within reason of course!)

    I love action movies - The Matrix, 5th Element, Sherlock Holmes, etc.

    Really anything with someone whose body/figure you appreciate! Seeing them on the screen is always a motivation. And that JLo movie where she was an abused wife who trains and then kills her husband in faux-self-defense. I can't remember the title to save my life right now.

    I sometimes will go with Terminator movies, or even Arnold Schwartenegger moves as well just because he was so physically fit.
    Other ones would be like Gone in 60 seconds, fast and the furious. Fight Club... so I think there is an action theme here.

    I've even watched the TV series Dexter while doing cardio.

    I bring my iPad to the gym with me so I've got a long list:


    Equilibrium
    300
    Sin City
    Kill Bill Vol 1
    Gladiator
    Run Lola Run
    Matrix
    Rambo
    Rocky
    Bourne Series
    Blade Series
    Taken
    Killer
    Enter the Dragon
    Hot Fuzz
    Kick-*kitten*
    Kung Hu Hustle
    The Rock
    Transporter
    Expendables
    Crank

    That's what I can think of off the top of my head. Also a side note...movies with nudity get you funny looks when you're watching them at the gym. Very awkward...
