Jane Fonda Just Recreated Her Iconic 1980s Home Workout Video — Leg Warmers & All

Jane Fonda has been waiting 20 years for this moment. While we’ve all been trawling Instagram and YouTube for at-home workout videos, Fonda joined TikTok to remind us where the original home workout came from — Fonda’s iconic 1980s videos, which had a cult following back when home fitness meant popping in the latest VHS. The Book Club star is reminding us that there’s no one better to turn to when you need an at-home sweat sesh, and we’re penciling in our next Fonda workout ASAP.

Fonda didn’t just dabble in workout videos — her method, the Jane Fonda Workout, was legendary, based on her New York Times best-selling book Jane Fonda’s Workout Book. And if you’ve ever seen Fonda, it’s not hard to see why people are trying to get her enviable shape, or why they’re so eager to have her as their personal exercise coach.

Today, Fonda hasn’t lost her touch for a second when it comes to leading workouts. “Hello Tik Tok! I’m bringing back the Jane Fonda Workout,” the actress writes, sharing a clip from her 1982 video before cutting back to herself on a yoga mat. “Come on and do it with me,” she encourages fans, starting a series of leg lifts.
