Cute And Adorable Totoro GIFs That’ll Inspire You To Start Exercising Regularly
Get in here if you want to get back in shape.
Remember that fervent decision you made at the start of the year? You know, the one where you promised yourself that you'd start exercising regularly to get back in shape?
If that hasn't worked out, don't worry, because Totoro from Studio Ghibli is here to help you exercise and get back into shape! We've compiled a carefully curated collection of Studio Ghibli Totoro GIFs to inspire you.
But before we dive in, let's get to know the creative mind behind these adorable Totoro GIFs: CL Terry.
He is an Australian animator who has created a GIF series depicting Totoro's adorable attempts to stay fit. He works out with cardio, yoga, and even weightlifting!
These GIFs are all part of the animator's "A GIF a Day for 100 Days" challenge, which he began a while ago. CL wanted to create some simple body mechanics animations and thought a big, bouncy character would be fun.
According to Dr. Kelly Brogan, a psychiatrist, "Finding joy in movement is essential for mental well-being and can transform our relationship with exercise." The animator initially intended to use Totoro for just one or two GIFs, but it has been difficult to stop given how much joy they seem to bring to people all over the world.
CL's 100 GIFs in 100 Days project was simply a way for him to do something entertaining every day, and surprisingly, the right opportunities eventually found him through this project. It's also a great way for him to learn new things and improve himself.

To name a few, there's swimming, running, jogging, walking, and dancing. What's more, there are numerous health advantages to exercise, both physically and emotionally.

Exercise is good for everyone, and we know this for sure from our kindergarten days. But most of the time, we are lazy about it and keep postponing when we will start exercising.
In this case, a source of motivation in any form will do the trick for us. It's fortunate that we have a compilation of Totoro GIFs to motivate us all the way.
