Jane Fonda isnt letting the coronavirus pandemic prevent her from urging action against climate change and staying fit, too.

The Grace and Frankie star joined TikTok this week as part of her vow to make her ongoing Fire Drill Fridays rallies virtual while she and her followers are in self-isolation during the coronavirus pandemic.

Fondas first post on the video platform was a flashback of sorts, briefly recreating her iconic 1982 Jane Fondas Workout routine.

@janefonda

Hello Tik Tok! Im bringing back the Jane Fonda Workout to fight the climate crisis. Join ##firedrillfriday 4/3 @ 11AMPT ##happyathome ##indoorworkout

The routine, however, lasts only a few short leg lifts.

Soon, the video cuts to Fonda urging fans to work out for the planet.

There are too many workouts happening right now on television and on computers, she said. Theres a climate crisis thats a real emergency, and so whether youre on your couch or your yoga mat, will you join me for the virtual Fire Drill Fridays?

The future needs you, she added. I need you.

Notably, Fonda is wearing a red coat in the video. The coat has become a signature of Fire Drill Fridays , a series of large-scale protests Fonda is holding with Greenpeace in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles to promote climate change awareness.

Fonda, whose history of activism stretches back even farther than her workout video, has been arrested five times during Fire Drill Fridays, appearing in the coat during each apprehension. She had the vestment slung over her shoulder as part of her recycled look at the 2020 Academy Awards in February.

Greenpeace, meanwhile, tapped Chelsea Handler, Norman Lear, Marisa Tomei and a number of other stars to encourage participation in the first virtual Fire Drill Friday in a short Instagram video.
