Ask HN: What is your favorite gym motivation video?

I find that my rate of exercise is much higher when watching action movies/shows than when watching sitcoms/dramas. So I save my NCIS: LA for the gym, and watch The Americans while cleaning the kitchen.

I also find that I row the fastest during commercials, so Netflix/Amazon Prime shows are actually worse for me when working out.

If you are into lifting, anything from All Things Gym or Hook Grip. They focus on weightlifting, but it's fun to watch top athletes do their thing. You can also learn from their warm-up routine and assistance exercise.

It's not a video; it's just a figure. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DMM8rwfWkAAEEnq.jpg
