10 inspiring fictional characters who rock sports –

In movies and series, there is no shortage of sedentary characters. Every now and then physical activity is portrayed as boring and boring, or else it only appears in super stereotyped characters (like the cheerleaders, who are usually futile or the villains of the story). But fitness is more than that, right? It’s good for the body and soul. Therefore, nothing fairer than remembering some inspiring characters who are super active and who used sport to tell us something:

Maggie from “Million Dollar Baby”

Hilary Swank’s character touched everyone in this film based on true events and winner of several Academy Awards. No wonder: she faced a lot of prejudice to prove her worth as a boxer. She had to overcome herself to be accepted by her coach, who didn’t want to train women. “Menina de Ouro” may not be a happy movie, but the character is undoubtedly inspiring. Especially for women who break barriers every day.

Jess, from “The Destiny”

Following the same line as Maggie’s character, but in a much more relaxed and family way, this film also talks about girls in sports. Jess dreams of becoming a professional soccer player, but that goes against traditional Indian customs. It’s really inspiring to see a girl rocking this sport – and everyone cheering along. Yes, we can!

Janae Watson of “Orange Is The New Black”

You might be thinking “what’s so inspiring about a prisoner?”, but this character from “Orange is The New Black” can show us a lot of good things. Watson achieved everything in his life (before prison) thanks to sport. More specifically, running. And even after being arrested, she continued to exercise, albeit with a precarious structure, because the activity was what relieved her, calmed her down and made her feel good. Want a more positive message than this?

Katniss Everdeen from “The Hunger Games”

One of the biggest hits in cinema today features a woman who breaks everything! Okay, Katniss is amazing just because of her physical stamina, but he’s essential for her to be so wonderful. It’s because she’s so smart and wonderful that she’s a survivor.

Tris from “Divergent”

And speaking of success… Beatrice Prior, the protagonist of the “Divergent” series, is another one who leaves nothing to be desired in terms of athleticism. She is a warrior, for whom healthy habits and physical preparation make all the difference. And all this conquered, of course, with a lot of determination and willpower. You go girl!

Claire Underwood from “House of Cards”

The character from House of Cards is addicted to exercising. She doesn’t let her obligations get in the way of her routine and always finds a way to exercise. Sounds like someone to look up to, doesn’t it? She likes it so much that she even makes her husband go with her, forming a very powerful fitness couple. But ok, cigarettes don’t let them be the biggest examples of healthy living on the small screen. But still, it’s worth mentioning.

Lara Croft from “Tomb Raider”

One of the first cinema heroines could not be left out. How not to be inspired by Lara Croft, the adventurous archaeologist and one of the great symbols of the athletic woman of the time? And being played by Angelina Jolie, she couldn’t help but rock. The will is to do everything she does!

Alex, Dylan and Natalie from Charlie’s Angels

What would this list be without a guilty pleasure? Let’s go back to the early 2000s to remember the three detectives who fought evil and solved everything without weapons. What was left? Lots of intelligence and talent. And a lot of body knowledge and different talents. Apart from the dance steps as if no one was watching. I don’t know about you, but I grew up wanting to do those things with my body.
