I love it when watching a commercial like the [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/why-do-it) Chosen: Just Do It gets you extremely amped up.

As if the Nike Free ad wasn't epic enough, Nike Chosen: Just Do It kicks it up more than just a couple notches. Through this clip, the audience sees athletes in extreme sports showing off what they do best. Whether it's skateboarding, surfing or snowboarding, each successive clip features guys pulling out every trick they have in their arsenal. What really makes the commercial even better is the fact that everything is shot at night, which ups the style factor even more. Some of the faces you may recognize include Paul Rodriguez and Julian Wilson.

The next time you're feeling too lazy to exercise, just watch the clip and you'll be given a reason to work off that weight.
