20 Movies That Motivate Women to Work Out

I noticed the other day when I was watching a movie with a physically fit lead woman character that watching the prompted me to get to work on my physique.  Actually watching these women who have awesome bodies (with the help of a personal coach, personal chef, and personal assistant) are inspiring, but we as women who are normal (without a personal coach, personal chef, and personal assistant) have to work twice as hard.  We have to plan our own workouts, our own diets, and take care of our own daily agendas.  No one is going to make it easy; we have to choose to make healthy choices.

Honestly, we need as much motivation as we can get, including these movies.  I am going to begin posting about my workout, fitness, and health motivators as I gather them together in my life and head.  Today's post is: 20 Movies That Motivate Women to Work Out
