Denise Austin flaunts body in same white swimsuit…
Denise Austin is celebrating almost 4 many years in fitness and proving consistency pays off.
The legendary workout icon, now 68 and a mom of two, lately shared putting then-and-now photographs highlighting her longevity in the industry.
She paired an image from one of her earliest VHS cowl shoots in the late Nineteen Eighties with a latest magazine cowl from her Fit Over 50: Vitality for Life shoot.
“THEN and NOW!!!! Here I am in 1988. The ‘then’ photo is from one of my first VHS cover photoshoots!! And the ‘now’ is from my recent ‘Fit Over 50: Vitality for Life’ magazine cover shoot!! So fun!!” Austin wrote on Instagram.
Austin wore a traditional white one-piece swimsuit with a entrance zipper and shocked in the same look more than 30 years later.
“I have sooo many wonderful memories throughout ALL these years being in the fitness industry!!!! And I feel such a deep sense of gratification because I truly LOVE what I do!!” she continued.
“And I want to thank all of you for ALL these years of support! It’s because of YOU I keep going!! Let’s celebrate LONGEVITY together!!! Love you all!!! Xoxoxo.”

The fitness guru has beforehand told Fox News Digital her viral throwback posts aren’t meant to show off but to show what consistency really appears like.
She said the pictures are a reminder that long-term outcomes come from displaying up day after day, yr after yr, not from fast fixes or trends.
The nostalgia also hits close to home. Austin said she has stored many of the outfits from her early workout days, and they’re now getting a second life.
“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 laughed. “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.”

Austin said staying energetic in her 60s is less about look and more about independence and vitality.
“It’s a testament to me being 68 now and keeping it up,” she said. “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.”
For Austin, health outweighs the whole lot else, regardless of your bank account or background.
“I want to feel healthy,” she continued. “If you have money, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have good health. And no matter who you are, you just have to do something for yourself.”

Her advice focuses on motion, even in small doses, she emphasised.
“Did you know that just standing up burns more calories than sitting down?” Austin said. “So, I tell people to get up throughout the day. If you’re on your phone, walk and talk while you’re on the phone. The more you move, the better it is for your circulation, which also helps your whole body.”
Austin’s advice is backed by a profession that helped form the home fitness industry.
She hosted the No. 1 exercise show on tv for 24 years and offered more than 25 million fitness tapes and DVDs, cementing her standing as one of the most profitable home workout creators of all time.
