Are you ready to do the workout?

Jane Fonda literally helped shape my childhood.

When I was about 9 I found her workout VHS in our collection and turned it on. I did it 100s of times and as recently as an undergrad for a nice little throwback.

The all-time Queen of the Home Workout.

What they don’t tell you in the fine print is Jane was 45 when she filmed this workout #goals and it became one of the top-selling videos of all time.

What I learned to love from the early days of following along - was how to break off and do my own thing. I would still keep Jane on for company, but a lot of the time I just started to do whatever workout I felt like doing that day. Usually, it was more jumping jacks. Ah, the boundless energy of youth.

Besides incredible moves - what Jane Fonda’s early workout foundation gave me was the opportunity to really start to listen to my own body. And unlike in a typical workout class - where it is super frowned upon (and usually rightly so) to just break off and do completely your own thing - at home you’re just free to get your freak on.

In honour of the Queen I’ll be doing Jane Fonda’s workout LIVE on my Instagram on Wednesday. Bring out your leg warmers, leotards and lets leg kick together. To pay homage I will be doing every single move exactly as Jane dictates. I am SO ready to do the workout! Hope to have you there too.
