I want to see this because I want to be able to talk about it,'" DeGeneres shared. "So she literally gets up from the jigsaw puzzle she was doing, and I took the phone out, and started recording her."

".@PortiadeRossi said I could watch her do her @JaneFonda workout," DeGeneres posted. "She didn't say anything about filming & tweeting it."
