  • Denise Austin shared a “quick upper body workout” video on Instagram.

  • The 67-year-old demonstrated two weighted exercises for “sexy, sculpted, toned arms.”

  • The tricep exercises focused on the back of the arms.


After taking a brief hiatus from her iconic “Fit Over 50” workout videos to celebrate her daughter Katie Austin’s wedding, Denise Austin is back at it with another “quick” and effective fitness tutorial. This time, the 67-year-old is focusing on at-home arm exercises with the help of light hand weights.

“Happy Monday everyone!!!! Let’s kick the week off right with a quick upper body workout that’ll target every angle of your arms for hot, sculpted, toned arms for the summer!!!” Austin captioned the recent video. “You’ve got this!!!

In the video, Austin stands in front of the camera in a pair of white yoga pants and sports bra, excited to target “the back of the arms” and demonstrate the tricep exercises. “Let’s get started—grab a pair of light weights and let’s begin,” she said. Below, we break down the two exercises.

Tricep kickbacks

“This is gonna shape and tone the back of the arms,” Austin explains of these tricep kickbacks. Holding a dumbbell in each hand, Austin stands with her feet together, legs bent, and chest leaned forward. She places her fists at hip level with her arms bent (elbows facing the back of the room) before straightening her arms behind her and then returning to the starting position to repeat.

“Make sure when you’re doing this your back is strong and straight, you’re leaning slightly forward, and you’re lifting those elbows to really firm and tone and sculpt the back of the arms,” she explains. “Get ready [and] get fit because you are worth it!”

Tricep pulses

After finishing the tricep kickbacks, Austin immediately moves into a pulsing exercise in one swift motion. With her arms straight back behind her, in the same bent-over stance, Austin instructs her fans to turn “palms to the ceiling” while keeping “shoulders down and back” to perform “baby lifts” by repeatedly lifting her arms toward the ceiling. “Pulse it up, straight arms,” Austin instructs. “That’s good, keep it up—you’ll have beautiful arms!”

Fans loved the simple yet informative workout video. “Love these moves!! Doing them tonight when I work out! 🙌❤️” one fan commented. “🔥Good exercises!!” another added. “Love the workouts!!” wrote another.

If you’re looking for more effective moves once you finish these, you’re in luck. Austin is always sharing a variety of workouts—like her quick head-to-toe toning workout or her favorite move for a toned back. She’s also demonstrated a full-body “Fit Over 50” cardio workout that works “the arms and the legs at the same time.”

We can’t wait to see what amazing workout videos Austin will drop next, but in the meantime, we’ll be stocking up on some Austin-approved gear to make the most out of her fitness tutorials. Check out her go-to footwear below.
