At 67, Denise Austin Demonstrates ‘Low-Impact’ Jumping Jack for Women ‘Over 50’
Denise Austin, 67, shared a “low-impact,” “#FitOver50” workout video.
In the video, Austin demonstrates a jumping jack alternative.
The “half jack” is an effective move that is “easy on your body,” she said.
Good news: Fitness star Denise Austin posted another #FitOver50 workout video on Instagram. This time, the 67-year-old is proving that everyone can stay on top of their fitness goals—even when it comes to cardio moves. In the video, Austin demonstrates a low-impact version of the classic jumping jack—which she calls the “half jack.”
In the video posted to Instagram, she stands on her yoga mat and explains that she’ll be sharing “a great fit over 50 exercise” with her followers. Specifically, how to “make the jumping jack easy on your body—yes, low-impact!” she said.
“Instead of a big jumping jack like this,” she explains while demonstrating the standard exercise, “do a half jack,” she says. The move is “low-impact and it still burns calories.” To perform the half jack, Austin starts with her feet together and steps one foot out to the side before bringing it back to the center and repeating on the other side. She moves her arms out and up in the same motion as a typical jumping jack for extra cardio.
Austin captioned the video: “#MotivationMonday with this #FitOver50 jumping jack!! This move is low-impact but will still get your heart rate up!! Give it a try today if you aren’t able to do a traditional jumping jack anymore and let me know what you think!!”
Fans and followers appreciated Austin’s fitness tutorial. “Yes 👏🔥 I really like doing your exercises,” one fan wrote. “Such a good idea!” another commented. “Love this!!!💙💙💙” another added.
If you’re looking for more low-impact cardio exercise like this one, Austin recently shared a #FitOver50 low-impact burpee Instagram video, which she says is “easy on the joints” and suitable for “anyone.”
Austin has been using her signature “#FitOver50” hashtag for years now to show her followers how to enjoy exercise as the years pass. She shares plenty of easy workout moves for women over 50 alongside her best workout tips to help fans stay fit and live healthy lifestyles. After all, Austin previously told Prevention that her “goal” at this time in her career is to motivate and inspire women of all ages to be their healthiest selves.
We’d say that Austin is doing an amazing job—and we can’t wait to see what’s next for the star. In the meantime, check out some of her fan-favorite workout videos below.
