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!!!!”

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.”
