I am all inspired to get to the gym, thank you very much, Janet.

Over the last few years Janet has made her way back into the spotlight, starring  in Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?, For Colored Girls, and Why Did I Get Married Too?. And to prove she hasn’t abandoned her music fans in favor of film, this year the Pop princess began an “intimate” concert tour dubbed “Number Ones” where her audience can get up close and personal with her in smaller venues around the world.

Here is a recent video Janet made for her fans where she talks about her concerts and answers questions on topics inquiring minds want to know more about.
