Feel The Burn
If you’re remotely into exercising, or even just moving in general, you probably heard the phrase “feel the burn.” As it turns out, the popular term was coined by none other than Jane Fonda. The actress reinvented herself in the 1980s. Her fitness empire was growing, and her workout videos were incredibly popular.

Jane caught the attention of many other trainers who were impressed by her work. Celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels called Jane Fonda her idol. She even put a spin on her famous catchphrase and added, “feel the fear.” So next time you’re at the gym, and someone says “feel the burn,” you have Jane Fonda to thank… or to hate.
