Spring is COMING!!!!!! (yeah GoT, take that!)

Sooooo like....beach bods or what? Technically it wouldn't be beach bods here in the old T-dot since we don't have a beach we can effectively swim at unless we travel on up to Wasaga or Picton, but hey there's always vacation and pools. So I have put together a little Gymmie Jam playlist to get you sweatin' to the oldies (aside: remember that CD? they used to sell it late at night after all the good shows had gone of the air, I think it was Richard Simmons, ah the golden age?) just kidding, they're not oldies, just a lot of cool vibey----> dubstep-y, rock, aggressive----> calm vibey stuff to get you warmed up, in the zone and cooled down again. Your intrepid Gymmie Jam Playlist :)

What's that? Oh you're having trouble getting in the spirit you say? No problem, I've already written a movie prescription for you and it is thusly: 

Stick It this movie I actually prefer to Bring it On, not that it's a competition but it is from the same writer. This movie SLAYS. It it will sure get you off your butt quick quick.

Fast Girls this movie is sort of a Bend it Like Beckham on the track and it's quite wonderful. There's a great scene where the girls are receiving unwanted attention from a bunch of brutes and they deal with them appropriately then take off. You worry about them briefly until you realize that they.are.track.stars. and with good reason. The dudes didn't have a chance. (you can find this movie on youtube)

Blue Crush oh this movie is fantastic and it features Kate Bosworth, in the best shape of her entire life and my #FastFam homegirl Michelle Rodriguez surfing like their lives depend on it. Look out for newcomer and Hawaiian native Sanoe Lake as the 3rd amigo in the girl power trio (and she also has a song in the film) This movie made me obsessed with muscles and going to Hawaii and I'm proud to say that I've now attained both goals.

T2 oh c'mon! Linda Hamilton. Need I say more? It's also worth noting that James Cameron, while known worldwide for his douchebaggery couldn't write a weak female character if he tried (and thank god for that) the dude is a hardcore feminist (on film at least) so you can pretty much add any movie he has directed to this list and you're bound to see a woman kicking ass.

(Bonus trivia) at the time Terminator 2 came it it was most certainly a leader in terms of Industrial Light and Magic, the ever mutating T-1000 was something entirely new to the industry and very exciting. Anyway if you want motivation for the gym, just watch Linda Hamilton in that film.

Step Up 3 this is my favourite of all the Step Up films (although 4 is a favourite as well) if you want body-moving motivation then here it is baby! (soundtrack is sick too)

So there's some films to get you started, feel free to post your favourite fit motivational films or music and get to steppin' baby! Spring is finally COMING and we've damnwell earned it!

P.S If the movies and playlist don't do it for ya then follow Women's Health Mag or Men's Health Mag on twitter. They'll whip ya into shape for sure!

Peace Out Kittens!
