The subject of motivation is an interesting topic. How each person gets motivated is determined by their own individual personality and preferences. Motivation can be either intrinsic (comes from within) or extrinsic (comes from outside sources).
As far as external motivation goes, movies can be a great source. Dramatic stories of overcoming the odds and triumphant victories can inspire us to push ourselves to new heights.
There are thousands of movies out there and hundreds that could probably be considered motivational. We decided to narrow it down to the top 15 that stood out to us at House Of Muscle. These top 15 are not ranked in any particular order. Here's the list:
1. Rocky 1
2. Cinderella Man
3. Invincible
4. Pumping Iron
5. Gladiator
6. Vision Quest
7. Remember The Titans
8. We Are Marshall
9. Hoosiers
10. The Blind Side
11. Conan The Barbarian
12. Friday Night Lights
13. 300
14. The Rookie
15. Glory Road
Honorable Mention: Warrior, Chariots Of Fire.
