"It could be 30 minutes of outdoor walking… So there’s no excuse. When the kids were little, I used to wake up before got up. Before I cooked them breakfast and sent them off to school, I’d get it done… Sometimes I’d get it done in the morning or, throughout the day I’d do 10 minutes. You could do three 10-minute workouts. You could an accumulation of 30 minutes in a day and that’s great too." Instagram Austin further stated that the exercise has helped her body over the years. "That’s right – I have been doing 30-minute workouts for 40 years. I truly believe that in 30 minutes you can get in everything. So some days of the week, I do 30 minutes worth of cardio to burn fat, to work on – it is a muscle," she added. "And then on the other three days, I do 30-minutes of toning and stretching to keep abs strong… to keep the body strong, toned, and firmed up. Whatever you can do, just try it, just starting with 10 minutes of walking is fabulous. You’ll feel so much better." Denise Austin shares how she maintains a healthy lifestyle The 66-year-old emphasized the significance of incorporating fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains into her daily diet in addition to her exercise. "You’ve got to have good nutrition, good exercise, and a good attitude … I eat well 80% of the time and I have my treats 20% of the time… Even if you haven’t exercised in years, that’s OK. Start small with just 10 minutes – you’ll feel a big difference," Austin explained. "The energy will start to flow, and you’ll start to have a good mindset… For the summer, I love to do exercises that target the triceps sleeveless blouses… My other favorite is a mini-squat. A lot of people… 50 and older, have knee and hip issues. So a mini-squat is great for your behind and your legs. If you rest, you’ll rust." Instagram She concluded that walking is an important part of her exercise regimen. "Walking works your whole body, I tell people to pump those arms, really get the most out of your walk. You can also walk as fast as you can," Austin confessed. "It’s much easier on the body than running, so it’s a great way to get in shape. I think walking is one of the easiest ways to just get out there and that’s what summer is all about. Find a friend or grab your honey bunny like I do… It’s a wonderful way to get more spirit in your body. And it’s so important to feel good both mentally and physically."
