Denise Austin has barely changed in 30 years!<\/p>\n
The workout queen, 68, who rose to stardom thanks to her line of exercise tapes and DVDs that got millions of Americans moving, went on to become a staple of the movement for activity and even served as a member of the\u00a0President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Demonstrating that she’s still going strong these days, Austin took to Instagram to post a side-by-side photo of herself sporting one of her iconic blue leotards from back in the day. Paired with blue socks and high-top sneakers, it’s safe to say that the exercise entrepreneur has barely changed in three decades.<\/p>\n
“Flashback Friday!!! Then and Now!! LONGEVITY BABY!! It\u2019s so much fun to re-live these incredible memories!!! I wore this leotard over 30 years ago while filming my TV show, and WOW i am so HAPPY I saved it!!!!” Denise captioned the side-by-side photo, which showed her in a lunge position with her arms behind her, and her blonde hair tied back in a ponytail. “I feel just as great in it now as I did back then!! That\u2019s why I believe so much in daily movement!! Exercising regularly, even if it’s just going on a walk, can work wonders for your health!!! You deserve to always feel your best\u2026Because YOU are worth it!!! Love you all, Denise. Xoxo.”<\/p>\n

Katie is a workout entrepreneur just like her mom. She even created an app, KA Daily<\/a>, that provides daily workouts, as well as nutrition and life advice.<\/p>\n The duo appeared in a Women’s Health spread together in 2023.<\/p>\n Why Staying Active Over 50 is So Important<\/p>\n Austin is feeling better than ever at 68. But she also wants others to understand how important it is to stay active as they age.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s all about our health,\u201d she told AARP<\/a> back in 2023. \u201cThis is the time that you need to take good care of yourself, and wellness is so important.”<\/p>\n Austin continued, noting that while exercise benefits you physically, it also has mental benefits.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will make you feel better, number one. Also,\u00a0exercise\u00a0is known to help with\u00a0depression. It helps with, of course, improving your cardiovascular system, and muscle tone is the key. That\u2019s why I do muscle conditioning exercises because, as we age, we lose muscle tone if we don\u2019t use it,” she noted.<\/p>\n Related: Legendary ’90s Tae Bo Fitness Icon Announces Exciting Career Pivot<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 11, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
