Madonna's dance moves are part of the latest fitness trend that sees people have a go at the intense cardio routine.
The Queen of Pop's choreography from her performance of the song 'Music' on her 2001 Drowned World Tour is the source of inspiration for this particular challenge, (though it's not for the faint-hearted).
In the viral clip, Madonna - who was 43 years old at the time - can be seen doing 15 jump squats in sync with the beat of the music, all while wearing heeled boots too.
Fans praised Madonna's performance as well as her fitness and stamina in comments.
One person said: "The fact she did this at the END of the show."
"15 squats IN HEELS! Fit inspiration," another person wrote.
Someone else added: "I’m 31 and my knee hurts just watching."
"Mother was mothering," a fourth person commented.

This jump squat is a basic lower-body exercise that can be used to build up and strengthen your leg muscles as it targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes and can be added to a high-intensity workout routine.
