If you’re looking to get “#FitOver50,” Denise Austin has you covered. The fitness pro is always sharing easy workout moves for women over 50 to help everyone stay fit and have fun doing it. Austin recently shared another informative workout video on Instagram showing fans how to perform her go-to moves for toned glutes and strong legs.
“Tone, tighten, and LIFT your booty with these 3 moves!! You can easily incorporate these into your day!! Do each move for 1 minute to feel the burn, and make your backside your BEST side!” Denise Austin captioned her video, along with her signature hashtags like #fitover50 and #workoutmotivation. “Building muscle in your lower half is a great way to boost the metabolism and get that toned muscle look that is so flattering!”
Below, we’re explaining exactly how to perform the moves Austin shares in her video so you can reap all the lower-body workout benefits. As Austin described in her caption, be sure to perform each move for one full minute.
Leg lifts
To begin, Austin stands with her feet together and hands resting on the thigh of her front leg. With that leg firmly planted and her chest leaning slightly forward, she then kicks her back leg up, sending her heel toward the ceiling. In between repetitions, Austin brings her toe toward the ground, barely tapping it to the floor before sending her leg back up and behind her to keep the tension on the glutes and hamstrings throughout the movement. Make sure to switch to your other leg once the 0ne minute is complete.
Squat plus front kick
The next move is a squat variation. She begins with her feet shoulder-width apart and her arms parallel to the floor while bending her knees to slowly lower her buttocks down toward the ground. As she stands up from the squat, Austin sends her arms to the back of the room for balance and simultaneously kicks one leg forward before placing the leg back down on the floor and swiftly moving right into the next squat. Perform this move for one minute on the same leg before switching to the other side.
Deadlift
The deadlift is a classic move that targets the entire backside of the body—the hamstrings, glutes, and back. To perform the move, Austin begins standing with her feet shoulder-width apart, hands in fists in front of her thighs. She then slowly leans forward while keeping her back straight and moving her hips back and her fists toward her feet, maintaining a slight bend in the knees. To finish the exercise, she stands straight up and squeezes the glutes at the end of the movement.
