What does the “Prancercise” meme mean?

Where does the “Prancercise” meme come from?
Joanna Rohrback, a resident of Coral Springs, Florida, developed this routine in 1989. She detailed it in her self-published book, *Prancercise: The Art of Physical and Spiritual Excellence*, released in 2012. The original video, titled « Prancercise: A Fitness Workout », was uploaded to YouTube on December 25, 2012. However, it only exploded in popularity in May 2013. The catalyst was its posting on Reddit, specifically in the r/videos subreddit, on May 25, 2013. This spread quickly to outlets like BuzzFeed. Rohrback subsequently demonstrated the moves on the *Today* show on May 30, 2013, followed by *Inside Edition*. The intent was purely promotional for her wellness philosophy.
