Denise Austin Inspires with Her Fitness Routines
Austin was popular for her television workouts in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and she is still active today; her daughters have also taken an interest in her old workout gear. “I saved all of my leotards from back in the day, from the ‘80s and ‘90s, which I used to wear on my videos and on my TV show,” she told Fox News Digital in January 2026. “I’m so happy I kept them all because [my daughter] Katie loves to wear them. My other daughter, Kelly, loves to wear them too.”
She continued, “It’s a testament to me being 68 now and keeping it up. That’s all it takes, keeping it up, keeping up with your workouts. And to me, I think it’s a really cool thing. It’s nostalgic for me, and it shows me that if you do start exercising, it does matter and you’ll feel good. And it’s all about feeling good for me.” Austin turned 69 on February 13, and she is an inspiration to many, proving that age is just a number if you have the right mindset.
