In what may have been a suggestion that we all hit the gym, Minaj stood on a pink yoga mat that was placed next to a pink exercise ball and pink hand weights.

On Thursday, the hip-hop star bared her backside in another racy picture announcing “Anaconda” was about to drop.

“Anaconda,” which is on Minaj’s upcoming album “The Pink Print,” will now be available on iTunes on Monday, Aug. 4.
