Rocky: The best workout movie ever
Rocky is my personal favorite when it comes to workout movies. I tend to rewatch the whole series (except for Rocky V, which sucks) starting around Thanksgiving each year.
What makes Rocky a great workout movie:
Underdog story
Workout montages
Killer soundtrack
Overcoming inner demons for personal growth
Helpful to know: this story is a slow burn. There’s atmosphere. Character development. Unfurling. A lot is said in few words. If you’re looking for a fast-paced, frenzied, action-packed flick, look elsewhere. This movie is half a century old, so adjust your expectations accordingly, and enjoy.
