In the comic books Cheetah appears after Dr Minerva leads an expedition into an African jungle.
And we met her in WW 1984 played by Kirsten Wiig
The Cheetah: "I do know what to wish for… To be like Diana. Strong. Sexy. Cool. Special.
To get into shape for WW1984 Kirsten worked with trainer Jenny Pacey
“With me being the Cheetah, we had to incorporate these predatory feline movements — shoulder movements and sweeping claws, curling my back and such,” Wiig said.
“I didn’t want to bulk up in any way because Cheetah is very long and lean, and Jenny was amazing. She worked really closely with the stunt team to know what kinds of movements I would have to do and developed a very intentional way to work pretty much every muscle in my body,” she added.
I Want To Be Number One. An Apex Predator”
Keep in mind Kirsten was well into her 40s when director Patty Jenkins selected her for this role. She had dreamed of being a super hero in the movies for years.
Let’s learn a bit more about these big cats before we work out with one..

Can’t talk a cheetah from a leopard? Look at their face!
Cheetahs have those long, black lines that run down their face from their eyes to their mouth, called malar stripes. Malar marks are a built in anti glare feature best for wide-open super bright savannas
There tail is their rudder and balance
While most cats have round, fluffy tails like your pet, the cheetah tail actually has a flat surface, like a rudder. It helps cheetahs turn fast at high speeds. Swinging its tail helps them counterbalance
Cheetahs Don’t Roar, They Meow, Purr and Chirp.
