Like many people, I have fallen in love with the new Wonder Woman movie. Also like many people, I am in need of getting myself into better physical shape. I’ve decided that a great way to support my fitness goals is to have a pop culture character to work with as a trainer to help motivate and guide me: thus enter General Antiope.
***This post will contain some minor spoilers for the beginning of Wonder Woman. If you haven’t seen it you, go do so!***
If you haven’t seen Wonder Woman yet, General Antiope is the fiercest of all the Amazons and the one who teaches Diana her skills. Antiope has several characteristics that make her an ideal trainer.
First is her genuine desire to prepare those under her supervision to overcome any obstacles the world throws at them. Antiope decides to train Diana, against Diana’s mother’s wishes, because she knows that someday Diana will have to go up against Ares and that Diana needs to be prepared. Antiope does not train Amazons for reasons of honor or prestige, but out of a genuine desire to keep them safe. I’m not looking to “lose weight” or have a “beach body,” I’m looking to improve my physical health for the sake of having the stamina to actually do everything I need to do.
