• Denise Austin, 66, just shared a “fat-burning” cardio workout on Instagram.

• In the video, she demonstrated “low-impact” exercises that are “easy on the joints.”

• “Feel good,” she said. “Boost that metabolism, that’s what we want!”

Fitness icon and Miami Swim Week runway star Denise Austin shared another #FitOver50 workout video on Instagram. This time, the 66-year-old is focusing on cardio moves, looking so toned while demonstrating her favorite “high-energy,” and “low-impact” exercises.

“Happy #MotivationMonday!! Let’s all use today as a jumpstart for this week…and make it a GREAT one!” Austin captioned her Instagram video. “I love to get a good, high-energy workout in on Monday. Give this one a try with me today to get your heart rate pumping and give your metabolism a boost.”

“Welcome to Fit over 50! Today it’s all about fat-burning cardio. So let’s get started,” Austin says in the video. “We’re gonna do all low impact [moves], easy on the joints, and yet we’re gonna get our bodies moving, yes we are. Burn some calories, burn some body fat, and feel good. Boost that metabolism, that’s what we want!”

Austin instructs viewers to begin with a warm-up “to get the blood circulated [and] to get the energy flowing to every muscle of your body.” She starts with her legs spread far apart and bounces from side to side while reaching her arms up and over her head.

After the warm-up, Austin swiftly begins a punching-type of movement where she continues to step side to side while incorporating her arms a bit more. With each step to the side, she punches one arm in the same direction, alternating her arm with each step.

Next, Austin performs a move that looks similar to her warm-up, with a bit more energy. She takes a wider stance and puts some pep in her step while stepping all the way from right to left and lifting each arm from her side to above her head.

“Always think about low impact, but use your muscles. So the more muscles you’re using the more calories you’re burning,” Austin says. “That’s why I’m working the arms and legs all at the same time. Double the workout in half the time.”

Finally, Austin demonstrates a move that incorporates the “biceps and triceps.” She steps “forward and back” with a slight bend in her knees. With each step forward, Austin lifts both arms up, bending at the elbow, and bringing her fists towards her face as if performing a bicep curl. With each step backward, she extends her arms all the way back behind her.

Fans were motivated by her informative video. “So inspiring, you look amazing! I’ve gotta get moving!” one follower wrote. “Denise, you are my hero! I am 52 and I’ve watched you for decades, and you still look amazing!”

Austin’s aim is “to help women my age and over 50,” feel their best, she previously told Prevention. “I have really enjoyed the changes and growing with my people and growing with my fans that have stayed with me for 35 years. It’s so fun,” she explained.

Austin consistently shares easy workouts for women over 50 and constantly succeeds in her mission to inspire women of all ages. We can’t wait to see how the fitness icon will motivate us next, but for now, we’ll be stocking up on some Austin-approved gear to make the most out of her latest tutorial.
