Fitness legend and actress Jane Fonda has taken fans back to the 1980s with a star-studded fitness video urging Americans to vote in the upcoming presidential election. The video is a recreation of one of Fonda’s world-famous fitness routines which dominated aerobics culture in the ’80s.

«Hello, class,» Fonda says in the video followed by a signature 1980s clap.

«We’re bringing back the movement,» she continues. «We need you to be in shape for the upcoming race. I need you to be strong. I need you to be laser-focused.

«I need you to be fully committed to the task at hand. So, let’s get ready to exercise our right to vote.»

Dressed in a red headband, leotard, and black groove pants, Fonda still looks the part in her latest video, 1980s graphics included.

Wearing their finest ’80s gym fashion,  a number of celebrities showed off their workout moves in the clip which saw Amy Schumer jump-roping, Vanessa Hudgens doing classic aerobics dance movements, and O’Neal working his glutes. The video also includes Ken Jeong and Ashley Benson.

Katy Perry, who recently gave birth to her daughter Daisy, is shown watching Orlando Bloom weightlift while eating a chocolate bar. The new mom is later seen on a chair pumping breast milk for her baby, saying: «Get pumped … to vote!»

The video has since gained over 45,000 views on Instagram in just 24 hours, with the celebrities involved also sharing the video to their social media platforms.

Earlier this year, Fonda took to TikTok to combat climate change with a recreation of one of her iconic 1980s workout routines for her #FireDrillFriday initiative.

In a nod to her many home workout videos, Fonda finished yesterday’s post by saying: «Exercise your glutes, exercise your quads, and most of all exercise your right to vote.»
