Fitness Legend Denise Austin in Two-Piece Workout Gear Helps You "Walk Off Belly Fat"

Denise Austin is looking forever young – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness queen shows off her fit-at-67 figure in an exercise set while walking on the beach. “Walk OFF belly fat with me,” she captioned the Instagram post. “She’s proof that a good diet, regular exercise, and a positive mental attitude is the best recipe for longevity and beauty,” commented one of her followers. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Resistance Training

Denise is a big proponent of resistance training. “As we all age, you really need to do some light strength training or any type of resistance training, even more so, to save our bones, to help our muscles work, work miracles on your metabolism,” she told First for Women. “Metabolism is so important because it slows down naturally as you age, so one of the best ways to combat that and fight the drooping, and the aging is muscles. We have 640 muscles and these muscles will help your posture and your muscle tone — they will help keep everything fit and firm. And it’s healthy to have strong muscles for your bones as well as for your joints!”

2. Stretching

Don’t forget to stretch, reminds Denise! “Flexibility after 50 is so important. I just don’t think we stretch enough! I would love more women to stretch to feel better. The one area that is important to stretch is your hips. Women’s hips can hold stress and tension and that could lead to tugging on your low spine. And if your hips and your hamstring stay flexible, it keeps your back healthy. So it all works hand in hand and head to toe,” she says. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

3. Walking

“Walking is good,” she added to First for Women. Should you walk daily? One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

4. Lifestyle Over Diet

Austin encourages lifestyle over diet. “Way too often, people start a diet, get excited about it for a few days, and then return to their normal habits when it gets in the way of their lifestyle. The major problem here is that a diet shouldn’t be a fad or an inconvenience — it should fit seamlessly into your lifestyle, so it is easy to adopt and adapt to! Because if a diet is going to work for you, it’s got to be something you can keep up with day in and day out,” she writes in a blog post.

5. Keeping Track of Calories

Denise also recommends calorie counting. “By sticking to a plan that already does the work for you, you will be less likely to stray off course,” she says, recommending her own plan. “If losing weight is truly a goal for you, it takes a combination of regular exercise and eating a certain number of calories. My Plan makes this simple - you choose your calorie level (you can change it at any time!), and you get all your daily meals (plus snacks) recipes delivered right to you! My recipes are equal parts tasty and simple - and always filling, because no one wants to be hungry when dieting!

Danni Menzies is showing off her fit figure – in a sports bra and leggings. In a new social media post the A Place in the Sun presenter shows off her washboard abs during an intense workout circuit. “Last session in Glasgow with @chantelwilkie_fit ready to get down the road and take on London,” she captioned the post. How does the 34-year-old stay fit? Celebwell has the details on her latest workout and the other health habits responsible for her amazing figure.

1. She Goes Running

Danni told Runner’s World UK that she has been running since she was 8. “Running is an escape from London life. I live in Fulham and run 10km in a loop from Putney to Hammersmith along the Thames. I usually run two to three times a week but if I’m busy with work I’ll do that route once a week and then 5-8km on the other days,” she said. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

2. She Eats Healthy During the Week

On weekdays, Danni keeps her diet ultra healthy. “Before every run I have green juice and a coffee, and then an omelette with avocado when I get back,” she told Runner’s World. “On the weekends, she cheats! “I’m a health freak Monday to Friday but I love a Domino’s Pizza on a Sunday.”

3. She Uses Fitness Apps

Danni is a fan of fitness apps. “I use Nike Running Club's running app. If I see that friends I follow have gone out and ran 7km, I’ll go and do 9km. It’s a great motivator and I like the training programmes you can get on them,” she told Runner’s World.

4. She Does Reformer Pilates

“I do reformer pilates,” Danni told Daily Star UK. “I’m a bit of a fitness freak from Monday to Friday and then I party at the weekend.“I’m good at keeping on it Monday to Friday. I’m pretty health conscious.” Should you do Pilates? The Mayo Clinic confirms that there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

5. She Also Does Yoga

“I try to do a lot of Yoga as well. I find it helps space doing exercise,” Danni added to Daily Star UK. “It makes you feel good as well as put your head in the right place too.” There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

6. Here Is Her New Workout Routine

Strength training is also part of her routine. Here are the exercises she does in her latest video:

1. Sumo deadlifts
2. Barbell rows
3. Front raises with a plate
4. Chest press on the ground
5. Gorilla kettlebell rows
6. Skierg cardio
7. Burpees
8. Shoulder taps

Amanda Elise Lee is doing a workout in “two of her favorite” Fashion Nova exercise sets. In a new social media post the fitness influencer flaunts her amazing figure in workout clothes. She also reveals her abs and glutes workout with her followers. Here's how she approaches wellness.

1. Working Out “Changed” Her Life

Amanda maintains that exercise completely transformed her life and body. "There's nothing wrong with being skinny, but I was really self-conscious about it — I didn't have my first boyfriend until I was 21," the influencer, who now works as a certified personal trainer and Pilates instructor, told Cosmopolitan. "Working out completely changed my life and confidence."

2. Minimal Cardio

"I don't do a lot of cardio because it's the most time-consuming," says Amanda. She adds that she exercises 45 minutes four to five times a week, doing mostly strength training so she doesn’t lose weight. "I'm obsessed with not losing weight. If I look at the scale and it goes up, I get excited I gained 2 pounds," she says.

3. Variety

Amanda makes sure to switch it up. "Variety is even more important that working out regularly," she says. "Try to change it up every time you work out: Instead of doing a regular squat, do it while standing on a BOSU ball, or do a walking lunge, elevated lunge with one leg on step, or a side lunge."

4. Engaging Muscles

Amanda stresses the importance of connecting your mind and body during workouts to engage the right muscles. "So many people go through the motions and don't see results because they don't connect the mind and the body to really feel the exercise," Amanda says. "You can't go through the motions — you really have to squeeze your butt and engage your abs to benefit."

5. TRX

Amanda is a big fan of TRX workouts. “Complete total body TRX 💪,” she captioned a post. TRX workouts can be done at home or at the gym. They involve simple straps that can be connected to the ceiling or a door, and are great for doing a variety of strength training moves, using your bodyweight as resistance.
