Almost six in ten Americans state they’ve got what it takes to become an action movie star.

Yet actors like Liam Neeson shouldn’t be taken by these numbers just yet. This 57% of 2,000 US residents polled admit they would have to undergo special training before honing their very particular set of skills.

Despite the potentially rocky road to Hollywood, over a third of respondents feel like they’re “Gonna Fly Now” as action movies are “huge influences on their fitness goals.”

Another 57% of the bravehearts announced they would feel more motivated upon finishing a high intensity flick than before.

Nonetheless, almost half are saying ‘oh no’ to being Rambo. That 47% would rather take their believed acrobatic prowess to TV game shows like “Wipeout.”

The research further discovered that a vast majority of these Jackie Chan jokesters dislike staying completely concentrated while apparently training for the silver screen. Just 22% of the fitness die hards keep their eyes completely on the prize — with 13% never listening to music — while two in five prefer a distraction at the gym and 19% “always” need one, , South West News Service reported.

However, not everybody felt the same, including the 13% who never listen to music while working out.

“You’re joking, right?” wrote one respondent. “Why would anyone want music to disturb their serenity?”

Regardless, it’s the workout itself that matters, as the data further implies a correlation between physical activity and overall levels of happiness.

Though it’s not quite judgment day for these terminators as they fall into good company.

A high majority hit their personal point break with some tunes: 71% will listen to music throughout workouts — while two thirds make their own playlists and one third will bump each time they break a sweat — whereas 56% turn to audiobooks and 55% play video games.

Many further sync their tracks to a lift as 68% announced they work out in time to the song they’re listening to — 62% will play the same one on repeat.

Of the near 166 dirty dozens surveyed by OnePoll on behalf of Alpha Lion, the 37% who stated they lived “completely active” lives were found to be “very satisfied” as people, whereas the bottom 10% with “completely sedentary” lifestyles were found more likely to be “very dissatisfied.”

"Without a doubt, music is a powerful thing,” said Drew Peters, VP of Science & Innovation at Alpha Lion. “There is robust research that music captures attention, influences emotions, alters or regulates mood, increases work output, heightens arousal, and induces states of higher performance. Think of it as the world's most widely used supplement - it's literally a performance-enhancing ergogenic aid."

"While the research is still in its relatively early stages, there does appear to be a direct correlation between listening to music and the effects it has on your performance in the weight room,” announced Peters. “It can positively impact things like muscle power, explosiveness and strength-endurance among a host of other potential benefits."
