At 68, Denise Austin Shares 3 ‘Easy' Moves to Tone ‘Waistline'
Denise Austin shared a workout video targeting the abs on Instagram.
The fitness pro demonstrated three 'easy' standing moves.
You can do these moves 'anywhere' and 'at any time,' Austin explained.
Denise Austin knows the best workout moves to target every muscle group. Whether she's demonstrating a fat-burning workout, her go-to low-impact moves, or full-body moves for women over 50, the fitness pro continues to motivate her followers to stay active. Most recently, the 68-year-old demonstrated a three-move core workout to tone the abs and 'waistline.'
'Spring into action this season and give these three exercises a try to effectively shrink your waistline!!' Austin captioned the video. 'They're easy to do anywhere...at any time...with any routine!! Let's get moving!!'
Below, find a breakdown of Austin's three standing ab exercises shown in the video.
This simple move is a great warm-up. Austin begins with her feet shoulder-width apart and her arms outstretched toward opposite sides of the room. She gently leans from side to side, reaching with her right arm toward the right side of the room, placing her left hand on her left hip. Then she returns to the center and quickly reaches her left arm toward the left side of the room.
This exercise is a compound movement that combines a lunge (which targets the legs) and a twisting movement (which targets the oblique muscles). Austin begins with her feet spread wide on the mat. Her arms are outstretched wide, towards opposite sides of the room. She performs a lateral lunge, bringing her glutes back and placing her weight on the foot that remains on the ground, reaching the opposite arm toward her knee to create a twisting movement that works the abdominal muscles. She alternates quickly from one side to the next.
The final move also targets the obliques. Austin begins the exercise by starting in a lunge position with her arms outstretched in front of her body. Next, Austin pulls her back leg forward, crunching it toward her chest, while twisting with her waist toward the leg and bringing her arms to her hip.
We love that Austin constantly inspires women of all ages to stay fit and live a healthy lifestyle. If you're looking for even more of Austin's simple and effective workout moves, we suggest checking out some of our favorites below.

I opened my relationship so I could sleep with other people — now I help my boyfriend find dates, too
It takes two … to fine number three. Model Cami Strella and her partner, Lev Lieben, were in a long-term monogamous relationship, but after two years together, Strella suggested they begin to experiment with other partners. 'I wanted to have my cake and eat it, too,' said Strella. She explained that she valued the intimate, emotional connection she had with Lieben, but felt it was important to explore other sexual experiences as well. 4 'We just realised this is how we operate – but it's not for everybody,' Strella admitted. Jam Press/@camistrella 'We basically dove headfirst into non-monogamy.' She was excited about exploring her sexuality with others at first — Strella even vacationed in Thailand with one partner — but although it was her idea, she admitted she was apprehensive about sharing her fiancé with other women. 'I struggled quite a bit with letting go of the concept of ownership because sex with Lev had been so intimate for me,' she revealed. 'But I wanted to explore sex with other men and women, and it was only fair that he got to do the same.' As with any relationship, there have been some bumps in the road, and it took the pair a while to get the hang of their new dynamic. 'There were a lot of misunderstandings in the beginning, and we had a lot of rules,' Strella recalled. 'It was a bit weird.' 'It's very normal to feel a bit awkward at first, but once you unbridle yourself from the concept of monogamy, it's really freeing.' 4 'It is a level of intimacy very few people will ever understand,' Strella explained. Jam Press/@camistrella However, the model and influencer explained that honesty was key to making it work. The West Coast-based influencer has 410,000 followers on her Instagram account, @camistrella, and makes up to $220,000 a month sharing racy photos and videos online. Prior to her current career, Strella was enrolled in a graduate school program studying occupational therapy and neurology, but ended up leaving when her classes went online during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pair met while Strella was pursuing her master's degree and Lieben was serving in the army. 4 'There was nothing wrong with our relationship,' Strella clarified. Jam Press/@36neex She said that both she and Lieben are 'completely transparent' about other sexual partners. 'Funnily enough, now I really enjoy helping Lev find dates or hearing about his sex life with others. 'A few times, when he's told me a particular woman was 'great' in bed, I've even reached out to them myself – and ended up having sex with them,' she admitted. Strella also believes that opening up their relationship has tested the strength of their bond. 4 'We have a deep connection that has only gotten stronger with time.' Jam Press/@36neex After two years of enjoying an open relationship, Strella says she hasn't regretted her decision. 'Since opening up to each other about our concerns and sharing our desires, it has turned into something really great.' The couple enjoys complete sexual freedom, which could make some people feel uncomfortable — especially at the prospect of literally sharing a partner with strangers — but Strella says she doesn't mind at all. 'I like sharing Lev because he's an amazing person and I like the idea of other people recognising this.' She also maintains that their bond as a couple, especially given that they've been together four years total and currently live together, is 'incredibly fulfilling.' 'The sex that Lev and I have is very different to the sex I have with anyone else,' Strella said. 'A lot of people don't realise that this is a way of life or that it's an option they could try, which is why I feel it's important to share our experience.'

Cardi B & Stefon Diggs: A Timeline of Their Cutest Moments (So Far)

On June 24, Cardi, 32, revealed that the 31-year-old NFL star had rented a full-blown castle for them to stay in as they travel abroad in France. 'Why this man got us staying in a castle? I'm talking about a real castle,' the Grammy winner told fans, panning the camera to show a massive brick castle in the background. 'Look at this. This is a real f—— castle!' The musician shared that the foot baller star rented the lavish property after she mentioned she never gets a chance to visit the Palace of Versailles whenever she's in Europe. Well, Diggs didn't disappoint, he went all out with a stunning castle getaway. The estate featured a luxurious swimming pool, soaring arched ceilings with medieval-inspired details, and a massive dining room with a table big enough to seat over 15 guests. Total fairytale vibes. 'He said b—- you want [a] castle I'll give you a castle b—-. You'll sleep in a castle b—-. It's so crazy,' Cardi gushed. This isn't the first time that Cardi and Diggs have been absolutely adorable together or shown major PDA in public. They made their relationship Instagram Official. After months of speculation, Cardi finally confirmed what we all suspected: she and Diggs are very much a thing. On June 1, the 'Bodak Yellow' rapper dropped a carousel of cozy (and steamy) snaps on Instagram, showing the two loved up aboard a luxury yacht.
