After Kanye West dropped his music video, “Fade” at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, people weren’t necessarily talking about the song so much.

It was the video’s lead model/actress, Teyana Taylor that had everybody talking about #bodygoals. In the video, it was clear to see, her body was nothing short of amazing, even for the now 30-year-old married mother of two.

A number of people have now named her their fitness inspiration, but her fitness routine isn’t the traditional fitness program or strict diet that you may have assumed.

The video showed Taylor in just a sports bra, kneepads, and a thong, and even had West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, talking. Kim even showed a little girl crush on Taylor in a social media post after the video premiered. “Ok just woke up & watched the Fade video again for my Monday morning gym motivation.

Thank you @TEYANATAYLOR,” the E! reality star tweeted. “You guys!!! @TEYANATAYLOR has the best body ever!!! Like no joke and just had a baby!!!!”

The wife of Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Iman Shumpert (and mom of Iman Jr and Rue Rose) tells E! News, “Dancing is my workout. I just dance. I almost feel like dance is so underrated in the fitness world.”

A source reaffirms the fact, telling E! News, “Teyana Taylor has always just had a crazy dope body and the way she ‘works out’ is dancing in the studio. That’s her workout.”

And science has proved that to be true too. Dancing not only can burn up to 600 calories a half-hour, but can tone and shape your legs, hips, and butt in some of the most fun ways.

Veteran choreographer and artistic director Jae Blaze, who has worked with Rihanna, Will Smith, Jennifer Hudson, and more, choreographed this video as well and spoke about the moves Teyana did so effortlessly.

“There is this particular movement called ‘bruk back,’ says Blaze. “It’s a Jamaican dancehall dance, created by the dancers Outshine Crew. It’s basically very gritty, a very earthy movement where you pound your back. Kanye gave us a vision on how to incorporate some other locking and popping movement into that particular dance move, and you see Teyana doing it there in the video.”

Dancing and singing isn’t the only thing on the mind of this talented mother. Taylor is also a businesswoman.

In 2017, Taylor launched her company, Fade2Fitness, LLC, with her business partners.

Fade2Fit has become a monumental fitness platform dedicated to total-life solutions comprising all aspects of living well, including nutrition, fitness, dance and overall lifestyle.

Teyana’s fitness motivation was born after giving birth to her daughter, Iman Jr. In order to be ready in time to appear in Kayne West’s Fade Music Video, Teyana ramped up the workouts and techniques she has been using since youth and got into tip-top shape in only a matter of months.

The reaction she received inspired her to share her secrets with the rest of the world!

Fade2Fit is an online fitness platform that allows users to work out alongside the 30-year-old Teyana.

Focusing on dance-orientated workouts, she has created an initial 12-week course that she personally uses to stay ripped. Each day members will have a workout to complete.

The workouts are streamed online and members receive unlimited access to the latest and future workouts.

The program includes a set schedule for workouts accompanied by a meal plan guide.

Fade2Fit requires no DVD’s and you can truly work out anytime, anywhere!

Taylor continues to dabble in the beauty and fashion world. She released a number of her own brand of Adidas sneakers, and according to Adidas Global Director of Entertainment and Influence Marketing, Jonathan Wexler, Taylor currently holds the record for fastest-selling sneakers in Adidas Originals history.

Taylor admits that she is currently focused on designing and releasing her second pair of sneakers with the brand.

So is you’re looking to bring back your body, do a little dancing and get on Kanye’s workout plan. You might just catch you a “baller” too.
