At 67, Denise Austin Demonstrates Full-Body Move for Women ‘Over 50’

• Denise Austin just shared a “#FitOver50” full-body workout on Instagram.
• The 67-year-old demonstrated a “two-in-one” or “compound” exercise to target the upper body, lower body, and core.
• “Double the workout in half the time,” she said.

If you’re wondering how to get lean legs, toned arms, and a strong core like Denise Austin, the fitness expert has you covered. Austin recently shared an informative workout video on Instagram showing fans how to perform a “#FitOver50,” “compound exercise” for full-body toning.

“It’s #WorkoutWednesday!!! Give this two-in-one workout a try to work both your upper and lower body in just one minute!!! Let’s get stronger together!! You’ve GOT THIS!!💪💪 #fitover50 #compoundexercises,” Austin captioned the post.

In the video, Austin demonstrates the move while wearing a pair of white sneakers (we spy her Easy Spirit Mel Emove Walking Shoe!) and holding a pair of blue hand weights. The exercise offers “double the workout in half the time,” Austin says. “A two-in-one workout for your upper body and your lower body all at once, plus your core.”

Austin explains that to perform the move, “all you have to do is a back lunge” combined with a “lateral raise,” which targets the arms and shoulders. She begins by holding her weights near her hips and then steps one leg back into a lunge, keeping her back knee a few inches from the ground and her front thigh parallel to the floor. As she steps back into the lunge, she lifts both arms up and out to the sides of the room before bringing her arms to the starting position and stepping her back foot forward to complete one repetition.

“Lift and use those thigh muscles, and tighten up those abs,” she explains. “That’s it, do this for one full minute, alternating legs.”

Fans loved Austin’s video and were excited to add the effective move to their workout routines. “This looks like so much fun. I will definitely give it a try!” one follower commented. “I’ve loved doing your workouts since I can remember starting to work out. Thank you for your inspiration. 🥰,” another wrote.

If you also can’t wait to try this move, consider adding some of Austin’s other fan-favorite workouts to your next gym session. The fitness pro previously demonstrated three simple moves for women over 50 (targeting the arms, back, and shoulders), a calorie-burning aerobic exercise, kickboxing moves to target “menopause belly,” and more.
