\n<\/em><\/strong>Whether you\u2019re watching for the first time or the fiftieth, this 1976 classic gets us amped every time. Rocky Balboa \u2014 played epically by Sylvester Stallone \u2014 is an unknown boxer who spends his days working for a loan shark and his nights fighting in sleazy clubs for little money and no respect. But when he gets the chance to fight world champion Apollo Creed, he seizes the opportunity to try and make a name for himself. It\u2019s one part underdog story, one part love story and all around awe-inspiring. Get \u201cEye of the Tiger\u201d ready to go on your <\/span>playlist<\/a>.
\n<\/span>Your Workout:<\/strong> Stair repeats<\/a> \u2014 with shadow boxing in between sets, naturally.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Rudy](\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rudy-movie-poster.jpg\" "\\"Rudy")
\n<\/em><\/strong>It\u2019s the classic, lovable and based-on-a-true-story underdog tale: Rudy Ruettiger (played by Sean Astin, who just flexed his own muscles at RunDisney\u2019s Avengers Superheroes 5K) dreams of playing football at the University of Notre Dame, but he can\u2019t afford the tuition and doesn\u2019t have the grades for a scholarship. And there\u2019s all kinds of things working against Rudy: he suffers from dyslexia, is smaller than the average football player and his best friend passes away, yet he still gets accepted to his dream school. His next goal is to make it onto the team. Spoiler alert: You\u2019re gonna love the way this one plays out. And maybe cry once\u2026 or twice.
\n<\/span>The Workout:<\/strong> Build a rock-solid upper body and base \u2014 critical on the football field \u2014 with one of these <\/span>strengthening rowing workouts<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Man](\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/man-on-wire-movie-poster.jpg\")
\n<\/em><\/strong>In 1974, French tightrope walker Philippe Petit performed a daring (and, uh, illegal) \u201cwalk\u201d between New York City\u2019s Twin Towers. And by \u201cwalk,\u201d we mean the 24-year-old spent 45 minutes between the two buildings \u2014 a quarter-mile above the ground \u2014 walking, dancing and even laying down on the wire he and his friends strung between the rooftops. If you\u2019ve got a fear of heights, be forewarned: You may just want to \u201cwalk\u201d to the next selection instead.
\n<\/span>Your Workout:<\/strong>\u00a0Slacklining<\/a>. Pro tip: Start out close to the ground \u2014\u00a0with close supervision!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Maidentrip](\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/maidentrip-movie-poster.jpg\" "\\"Maidentrip")
\n<\/em><\/strong>Ah, to be 14 years old again: first dates, school dances, a jam-packed social schedule and no real-world pressures weighing on your shoulders just quite yet. Unless you\u2019re Laura Dekker, who at 14, decided she wanted to become the youngest person ever to <\/span>sail<\/a> around the world. By herself. This documentary uses footage Dekker shot at sea to follow her two-year voyage on board a 38-foot ketch, named Guppy, adorably.
\n<\/span>Your Workout:<\/strong> If you wanna sail like Dekker, you\u2019re gonna need strong arms. <\/span>This circuit<\/a> will get you there.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Rising](\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rising-from-ashes-movie-poster.jpg\" "\\"Rising")
\n<\/em><\/strong>If you\u2019ve ever thought your hometown, neighborhood or current situation is what\u2019s holding you back<\/a> from great achievement, you\u2019re gonna have to watch this documentary and then think about it again. <\/span>Rising from Ashes<\/em> tells the story of Rwanda\u2019s first national cycling team and its quest to move past the country\u2019s genocide to make it to the 2012 Olympic Games. It\u2019s a story that\u2019s both sad and hopeful, but by the end, you\u2019ll find yourself making fewer excuses for why you just can\u2019t get out the door.
\n<\/span>Your Workout:<\/strong> Forget the spin bike and head outside with these <\/span>transitional tips<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"180](\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/180-degrees-south-movie-poster.jpg\" "\\"180")
\n<\/em><\/strong>In this documentary, Jeff Johnson sets out to retrace the 1968 journey of his heroes \u2014 environmental activists Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins \u2014 to Patagonia, South America. As he travels by boat, Johnson surfs, gets shipwrecked and prepares to climb Rio de Janeiro\u2019s Cerro Corcovado (which, NBD, is a <\/span>huge<\/em> mountain, with a 2,000-plus-ft peak). The surfing and climbing footage is borderline surreal, and the story takes a motivational turn when Johnson gets to actually meet the two men who changed his life.
\n<\/span>Your Workout:<\/strong> Rock climbing<\/a>. Gyms with walls are popping up across the country, so keep your eyes peeled for one in your area soon.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Desert](\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/desert-runners-movie-poster.jpg\" "\\"Desert")
\n<\/em><\/strong>If you\u2019ve ever been curious about ultramarathoners<\/a> \u2014 those (slightly crazy) outdoorsy endurance athletes who run way more than 26.2 miles at a time \u2014 this documentary will enlighten and<\/em> entertain you. Follow along as a group of non-professional runners (as in, they\u2019re doing this for fun<\/em>) attempt to complete 4 Deserts<\/a>, a series of four 150-mile races that are considered to be the most difficult in the world. They traverse terrain in treacherous conditions, including the dry Chili desert, the windy Gobi desert, the hot Sahara desert and oh-so-chilly Antarctic.
\nYour Workout:<\/strong> A good long run, of course! (Hate running? Here\u2019s how to love it<\/a>.)<\/p>\n![\"Clean](\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/clean-spirit-movie-poster.jpg\" "\\"Clean")
\n<\/em><\/strong>Competitive cycling may have a bad rep these because of its seemingly endless trail of high-profile alleged doping scandals. But enter Argos-Shimano, a team of elite cyclists dedicated to racing drug-free in the 2013 <\/span>Tour de France<\/a>. These guys clearly care about each other and about working together to survive the grueling days of the Tour, and the no-holds-barred questions from the film crew provide a rare glimpse at one of the world\u2019s toughest physical challenges and the athletes who participate in it.
\n<\/span>Your Workout:<\/strong> Give it your all at a spin class \u2014 just make sure you set the indoor bike up properly with <\/span>these tips<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Mile...a](\"https:\/\/dailyburn.com\/life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/mile-mile-a-half-movie-poster.jpg\" "\\"Mile...a")
\n<\/em><\/strong>Imagine: Instead of getting up and going to work one morning, you and your friends said, \u201cEh, no,\u201d and went on an epic adventure instead. Well, that\u2019s pretty much the story of this documentary, in which five friends ditch their daily lives in California to spend a month hiking the 219-mile <\/span>John Muir Trail<\/a>. The scenery is gorgeous, the people are cool and the trip proves unforgettable \u2014 so good luck watching this and then <\/span>not<\/em> calling in sick tomorrow with a case of incurable wanderlust.
\n<\/span>Your Workout:<\/strong> Go off-road for a nature hike or kick things up with a more <\/span>adventurous trail run<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
