Props to you for going through the motions of battling your sports bra on, throwing your hair in a bun, and lacing up your sneaks.  And you even got in your car and drove all the way to the gym.  Now you just need a little kick in the capris to get you out of the car and onto that treadmill!  This should help.

Have you ever played a drinking game while watching a movie or TV show?  We're taking it to the next level — or rather, a healthier place — with this scary movie fitness challenge.

Think of this as interval training meets a drinking game.  At the end of 90 to 120 minutes (depending on your film of choice), you'll have completed a killer (get it?) total body workout.  You should have plenty of breaks in between your exercises, so it'll keep this game challenging but totally doable.  Make sure you have water on hand, too (every time you feel the urge to shovel popcorn in your mouth, take a sip of water!).  Need some ideas on where to start, movie-wise?  Try any of these horror movies you can stream on Netflix.

Without further ado, the Scary Movie Fitness Challenge:

1. The car doesn't start:  10 bicycles
2. Someone can't make a phone call:  15 jumping jacks
3. Someone runs away:  Run in place, 30 seconds
4. Someone falls down while running:  Run in place, 60 seconds (don't fall down)
5. There's a loud noise, but nothing bad happens:  1 tuck jump
6. There's a loud noise, and something bad DOES happen:  10 sit ups
7. Someone does something unquestionably stupid:  10 burpees
8. Someone misses a clear opportunity to be rescued/save the day/escape:  Hold a 45 second plank
9. Ghost, zombie, monster, or mythological creature appears:  Hold a 15 second plank
10. A group of people splits up:  10 reverse lunges
11. Someone screams:  10 russian twists
12. Someone is attacked:  5 push-ups
13. Gory scene:  20 lunges
14. Someone dies:  20 squats
15. Someone you thought died is actually the killer:  10 squats per death
16. The killer/villain dies:  Victory dance
17. The ending hints at a sequel or has a cliffhanger:  15 mountain climbers

Bonus:  if you're feeling scared at the end of the movie, at least you'll be strong enough to fight someone/something off or run away!  You just got so much practice!

Love 'em or hate 'em, we shouldn't judge someone's gym selfie — it might just be helping that person reach their fitness goals.  Several high-profile trainers all agree that progress photos, gym selfies, and quick snaps from your run are the ultimate way to stay on track, motivate yourself, feel energised, and measure progress.

When we sat down with Instagram sensation Kayla Itsines earlier this year, we asked her what she suggests to clients when they're feeling unmotivated.  She told us that she encourages anyone hitting a slump to reflect on their progress photos to see how far they've come, and she also emphasised the importance of taking photos during each step of your fitness journey.

"My whole life is fitness, but of course I lose motivation too," she told us, but she looks to that visual community for inspiration — and you should, too!  She suggested that anyone looking for extra accountability and motivational help should "join the [BBG] community and post progress photos" to keep themselves on track.  Her encouragement sparked millions of women around the world to create specific "BBG accounts" on Instagram for just their gym and progress photos.

Tone It Up founders Karena Dawn and Katrina Scott would agree and have noted that these pictures help individuals track progress.  Not only do they encourage consistent check-ins on Instagram from their workouts (which can be found on popular hashtags like #TIUcheckin and #TIUteam), but they also encourage taking progress photos so you can gauge where you're at, saying, "Whether you want to lose weight, add muscle, tone up, or just become healthier, before [and after] pictures are the way to go!"

We also asked author of Shut Up and Run, Robin Arzon, about taking pictures on your run or while you're training.  "People should be sharing their goals and successes," she told us.  "It's OK to take a selfie on your route. ... You should be really proud of that.  If it keeps you moving, great!"

So there you have it — trainers from Australia to NYC saying to go ahead and snap that selfie.  Your super fit, super accomplished self will thank you later.

Tomorrow morning in San Francisco, runners (including us!) will race across the Golden Gate Bridge and back for the Run 10 Feed 10 event, raising money to feed the hungry.  We spoke with one of the stars of 2 Broke Girls, Beth Behrs, who's hosting the race;  although Beth is a runner herself, she can't run tomorrow due to a hip injury incurred while training for a half marathon.  While she might not be able to run, Beth is still flying in to support and host an incredible event, benefiting an even more incredible cause that she's so passionate about.

Despite her injury, this active actress still loves her healthy, fit lifestyle, and has found "many other ways to get that runner's high!" We asked Beth how she's been working out and recovering from her injury, all her dieting tips (including an awesome smoothie recipe), how she feels about gym selfies, and what she's most excited about for this race in the Bay.  Here's our quick chat with badass blond bombshell Beth Behrs.

Richard J. Wood:  What are some of your favorite ways to cross-train now that running's not in the picture?

Beth Behrs:  I'm a big fan of changing it up.  I love going to Barry's Bootcamp so I can do short-distance running, and then definitely anything with weights and circuit training I love!  Then boxing;  I find that when I box, I get kind of the same runner's high that I got when I was a longer distance runner.  I like ballet and Pilates, too.  I'm a big fan of working out in general!

RJW:  Do you have a favorite class or style of exercise?

BB:  I just started swimming, which I thought would be really boring, because I'm usually more of a fast, contact-sports person, but to be honest, it's one of the most meditative workouts.  I love yoga, too, but with the swimming you get that cardio high that you get running, but it's also super meditative because you're in the water, you're alone, and you can't really hear anything!  So I've actually been doing that, and I've noticed a big change in my body;  I feel like swimming is basically resistance training in the water, plus cardio, so you're getting a double workout, which is great!

It is SO HARD, too!  After like 300 meters, I was dying!  I could barely move my arms, I was out of breath ... it was great!  It's been great!  I was intimidated [at first], but I'm rocking it now.

I'm blond, so my hair turning green is always a concern.  I Googled this product — Philip Kingsley Swimcap conditioning product from the UK.  I put that on and wet my hair before I even put on my actual swimming cap.

RJW:  What training tips do you have for beginners?

BB:  Start super, super slow;  I find with myself that I tend to get down on myself if I get busy or if I've started a workout that I really want to continue but then life gets in the way.  Start slow, and don't beat yourself up if you don't get to the gym.

If you've never done hardcore running, cardio, or if you're not physically prepared for it, take a private or beginning yoga class on YouTube for free, or just walk to get your heart rate up in the beginning, and then work up slowly, because you don't want to get injured!

RJW:  How do you keep a healthy, balanced diet?

BB:  This is the hardest for me because I love food and wine!  I'm a huge foodie and a huge wino.  I've found that the 80/20 rule is really healthy.  If you want pizza at night, but you ate healthy all day, I'm all about moderation and not starving yourself and being able to indulge when you want to.  If you love food, you love artistic food, and you're into chefs and all that like I am (and you like wine), you shouldn't deprive yourself.

A trick that I've found recently that's been helping is smaller meals throughout the day, so even if I do indulge at dinner, I'm not eating as big of a portion.

I do a humongous smoothie with two green apples, one cucumber, four celery stalks, a squeeze of lemon juice, a handful of spinach, and then a whole liter water.  I carry that with me on set all day because it's super hydrating, it's really healthy, and it keeps you full in between meals.  On set, sometimes I only have time to grab hummus and carrots or almonds here and there, but I think also drinking that [smoothie] at the same time helps when I'm super busy.

Also, preparing meals the night before — I know it's a pain in the ass, but it's really worth it.  If I'm on set and they've all ordered pizza and I don't have anything from home that is really delicious for me to eat, then I'm gonna eat the pizza!  So being prepared is so worth the extra 20-30 minutes.  You can make chicken!

RJW:  Thoughts on taking a selfie before or after a workout?

BB:  I'm all for it!  Don't spend so much time on it that you're cutting into your workout!  But the more real, the better!  I would do it post-workout when you're super sweaty.  I just posted a selfie in the pool where I look like such a nerd with my goggles and swim cap, but I'm real about it, you know what I mean?  [laughs] I'm all for it, as long as you're not blocking a machine someone's trying to use!

RJW:  What's one thing you're looking forward to most from Run 10 Feed 10 tomorrow?

BB:  I just love the cause;  my mom's a teacher and has worked all over the country at different schools throughout her career, but the one thing she sees in so many different communities is that there are so many people starving in America, and we don't think about it.  But it's a really big problem, and for a lot of kids their only meals that they get are at school.  That cause is the most exciting for me.

And that it's in the Bay Area, that's where I grew up and I went to high school there, so I get to see my parents and be in my home city, which is really nice!

In case you thought Victoria's Secret Angels naturally look extremely fit and toned, this video of Jasmine Tookes will show you just how much sweat and intensity goes into sculpting their bodies.  Box jumps, battle ropes, dumbbell lunges, and TRX planks are just a few of the challenging exercises Jasmine Tookes does with her LA trainer.
