"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Denise Austin shared her 'favorite' workout for building 'strength from the inside out.' The 68-year-old says that practicing yoga helps with 'balance and mobility.' 'Take a few minutes today to center deserve it!' Denise Austin knows that the secret to staying fit doesn't need to be complicated. From helpful wellness tips to easy over-50 workout moves, the fitness expert knows exactly how to inspire women of all ages. Now, Austin is revealing her 'favorite' workout for not only feeling strong, but for maintaining 'balance and mobility.' The workout the 68-year-old swears by? Yoga. 'There's power in yoga!!! I LOVE yoga!!! It's one of my favorite ways to start strong and set the tone for the week ahead. Yoga isn't just about about stretching, lengthening, breathing, and using your own body weight to build strength from the inside out,' Austin recently explained. 'These movements help with balance and create a beautiful mind-body connection, and give you space to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace the process. Take a few minutes today to center deserve it!!!' It's a practice many experts recommend. Yoga helps to 'strengthen self-acceptance while it stretches and strengthens' the body, Nicole Glor, fitness instructor and creator of NikkiFitness, previously explained about the many benefits of yoga. Glor added that regular practice may also help increase flexibility, stability, and balance, helping you avoid falls and injuries as you age. It may also help strengthen muscles and bones, reduce chronic back pain, aid with weight loss efforts, prevent cognitive decline, and improve stress and anxiety levels. In addition to yoga, Austin has previously touted the benefits of stretching for staying healthy and flexible as we age. She recently shared her go-to stretching routine that's perfect for 'staying energized and feeling good,' which includes squat variations, leg raises, assisted marches, and a lower back stretch. Once you find your zen and master a few yoga poses and stretches, consider adding some of Austin's other fan-favorite workouts to your fitness routine. She previously demonstrated her favorite low-impact exercises, easy and effective standing ab moves, and a quick over-50 circuit workout, to name a few.

Denise Austin's secret to rocking a bikini better at 68 than her 30s
Denise Austin doesn't care about wearing a bikini in her 60s. During an interview with Fox News Digital, Austin shared that age is just a number after posing in a bikini at 68. "I love to feel good. And one of the best things is when you're exercising, you just feel empowered, you feel better. And I still have the energy I did when I was 30. So I'm just so happy that I still feel good and thank God I'm healthy. And why not? When you're 68, who cares how old you are? If you're having fun, get yourself feeling good, then go after anything, you know, live life," the professional fitness coach said. Austin explained that her family is very supportive of her continuing to rock a bikini, especially her husband. Austin feels more confident in her body as she approaches her 70s than she did in her 30s. "Well, honestly, I think I'm more confident now than I've ever been. And I just think that, you know, at this stage in life, you got to just live it up. Every day matters and go for it. And, you could do anything if you set your mind to it. And there's no reason not to go for it because what do you got to lose at this age," Austin said. "When you're 68, who cares how old you are? If you're having fun, get yourself feeling good, then go after anything, you know, live life." Although Austin is feeling more confident than ever, she's aware of the way her body has changed over the past three decades. "Oh, of course they have," she said of her body image changing. WATCH: Denise Austin on 'feeling good' at 68 "Going through menopause is a big change in every woman's life. You get the tummy, you get that kind of anxious feeling, but I do think that if you kind of exercise and move through it, you feel better there. You come out the other side and you feel great. So I just… I live a life, I eat, I enjoy my wine. I enjoy being out with people, I don't starve myself, I never have, I honestly eat well 80% of the time and then have my treats, like wine or whatever, 20% of time. As you should, you need to enjoy life. Life is short, so live it up. That's what I tell everybody. You know, why not?" Austin asked. In June, Austin took to Instagram to share some photos of her in a bikini while enjoying a vacation in the south of France. "Feeling strong, healthy, and SO HAPPY here in gorgeous Bay Cassis!!! There's nothing like a little sunshine, fresh sea air, and a swim in the Mediterranean to lift your spirits and keep you feeling GOOD!!" the professional fitness coach wrote. "Vacation is the perfect time to stay active and take care of YOU. Whether it's a quick swim, a walk by the water, or just soaking in nature's beauty… it all adds up to a healthy body and a happy mind!! Let's keep moving, smiling, and enjoying every moment together!! xoxoxo." In the pictures, Austin was wearing a blue bikini with white trim as she posed on steps leading into the water. She paired her look with gold, dangling earrings and tortoise shell glasses as she smiled for the camera. A few days before she shared the post, she uploaded two other bikini photos from her recent vacation. In these shots, Austin wore a bright red bikini as she was about to climb down steps leading to the ocean. In the second picture, Austin was holding a life ring that had the words "Les Roches Blanches" printed along the side. "We're soaking up the SUNSHINE in beautiful Cassis, France!!! WOW, the water is the most stunning shade of BLUE I've ever seen!!!" Austin captioned this post. "There's just something so magical about the Mediterranean Sea… a quick dip is all it takes to feel totally refreshed, recharged and alive! I'm savoring every second of this special trip… the salty sea air, the warm sunshine on my skin, and the joy of being surrounded by such breathtaking beauty!!! Taking time to relax, unwind, and be present - it's SO GOOD for the soul!! Sending you all a big HUG from the South of France!! xoxoxo." Austin shared her fitness secrets with Fox News Digital about how she's been able to stay fit over 60. "I believe that if you can do just small little things, like I walk a lot more than I ever used to, I stretch a lot more just because I want to stay pliable, so if I reach for something, my back won't go and I do more weight. Light weights, and then some days I do heavy weights. Two days a week, I do about seven and a half to 10 pounds in each hand. So I kind of have increased my weight training program to be strong, be fit, because now we know through research that those muscles work miracles on your metabolism, and they keep you young. They also fight osteoporosis so we can live longer but better. And that's what my vision is for people to live longer, but also live better," she said. Along with a fitness routine, Austin relies on getting a "good night's rest" every night, drinking plenty of water and never skipping a meal. WATCH: Denise Austin's secret to rocking a bikini better at 68 than her 30s "I try to go to bed around 10 and wake up around 6 a.m. That is really important. Sleep helps your brain health, helps your beauty, and gives you energy. But also, I drink lots of water during the day. I truly don't skip meals. I like to eat three meals a day, a lighter dinner, and I try to walk every single day, at least half an hour, and I pump those arms. "The more muscles you use, the more calories you burn. And standing up burns more calories than sitting down. So whenever you can, if you're sitting on your rear end too long, get yourself up. It helps with your circulation and more energy. Oxygen equals energy. So take good deep breaths, get the oxygen flowing so you feel better," Austin said. The "Fit Over 50" founder shared tips for how women can achieve their fitness goals during the summer. "Oh, summer, well, just get out there and do something new. Maybe try, you know, swimming in the ocean, if you haven't done it in a while, surfing, do anything kind of new this summer, get on your bike and enjoy a bike ride, even if it's not new, just kind of get outside and feel young again. Things that you do, I do cartwheels on the beach now, I do handstands, anything to make you feel like you're vibrant and young and fit over 50," she said.

Denise Austin Unveils Her Number-1 Toning Workout for a ‘Total Body Burn'
Denise Austin just shared a full-body workout video on Instagram. The 68-year-old demonstrated 'three powerhouse moves' to target the legs, arms, and abs. These moves can be done anywhere, with or without weights. If you're wondering how to get toned arms and a strong core like Denise Austin, the fitness expert has you covered. Austin recently demonstrated a full-body toning workout on her Instagram to help her fans stay fit and feel 'energized.' Summer travels haven't kept Austin from providing her fans with helpful workout videos. 'We're bringing it all together and finishing strong on a HIGH NOTE!' Austin captioned her a recent video. 'We're wrapping up this AMAZING trip with a total body BURN that sculpts your core and tones those arms.' While Austin performs her workout in front of the beautiful Ionian Sea in Sicily, the 68-year-old proves that 'these three powerhouse moves' can be done absolutely anywhere. 'One minute each, grab lightweight dumbbells for some extra burn! That's all it takes to feel ENERGIZED, STRONG, and PROUD of the work you're doing!' Austin continued in her caption. 'You don't need a a little motivation, a beautiful view (or a smile!), and the commitment to feeling GOOD from the inside out!!! You've got this!! xoxoxo.' Below, we're breaking down each of the three moves Austin demonstrates in her video tutorial. The first exercise is a compound movement that targets the arms, legs, and core. Austin begins in a wide forward-facing lunge with her back leg straight and front leg bent, stretching her arms up next to her face. She then brings her back leg up, crunching her knee towards her chest while pulling her elbows towards her hips before stepping her leg back into the starting position and swiftly repeating on the same side. 'This way, you really get the lower tummy,' Austin says. 'Really pull—zip up those abs. Feel it through your tummy, contract the abdominals. Do this for one minute on each side.' 'The second exercise, I want you to squat and twist. This is working [the] legs and waistline,' Austin explains of the next move. She begins with her feet slightly wider than shoulder-width distance apart, with her hands on the back of her head. She then performs a regular squat, but on the way up, she pulls one knee up to about hip level while twisting her core to bring her opposite elbow to the knee. She then returns her foot to the ground while turning her chest forward before quickly repeating on the other side, alternating the working leg with every repetition. 'That's it, you can do it. Sit back and twist. This really boosts the metabolism,' Austin explains. Austin calls the final exercise a 'tricep toner' as this move works the back of the arms, as well as the legs and core. She begins with her feet together, legs bent, and chest slightly forward before performing an alternating reverse lunge. As she steps one leg backward, she sends both arms behind her, bending only at the elbows. She instructs viewers to 'keep your abs tight' throughout the movement to engage the core.

Denise Austin/Instagram In January 2024, Austin gave Fox News Digital her tips for weight loss in her 60s. 'Just do something that makes you feel good,' Austin told Fox News Digital. 'I love to walk for fitness. I love to do light weights to get strong and stay strong. I like to stretch and do yoga. Mixing it up is really fabulous. That way, you're surprising different muscle groups, and you kind of keep everything going and not plateau. 'I really think anybody that enjoys what they're doing — maybe it's pickleball, tennis, any form of fitness — just move. Move as often as you can. Standing up burns more calories than sitting down.' Austin, who has sold more than 24 million exercise videos and DVDs throughout her career, authored a dozen books and starred in a fitness television show, said there's one simple trick anyone could do to stay fit and lose weight. 6 Austin shows off an aerobic routine during an undated promotional photo.

Denise Austin/Instagram 'My favorite tip, I tell everybody, is good posture. Posture tells a lot about somebody,' Austin said. 'If you're slouched over, first of all, your tummy has nowhere else to go but out. But if you sit up nice and tall, put your shoulders down and back and zip up those abs. 'Keeping your spine healthy is so important. And then when you're standing up nice and tall, you can kind of tighten up your tummy for five seconds. That's equal to one situp. So, you could be doing these isometric exercises throughout the day that really work your muscles.'
