For more than 40 years, Austin has helped people across generations become their best selves through workout videos, books and hit television shows.

While overseas, the fitness guru has also shared other posts of her wearing a red bikini, staying on top of her workouts and spending time with friends.

If you’re looking to focus on specific fitness goals this summer, Austin has created tutorials for arms, knees, core and cardio.

And for when you’re short on time, she also has mini-workouts you can do to stay on top of your routine.

In an interview with AARP in 2023, Austin stressed the importance of keeping active over the age of 50.

“It’s all about our health,” she explained. “This is the time that you need to take good care of yourself, and wellness is so important.

“It will make you feel better, number one. Also, exercise is known to help with depression. It helps with, of course, improving your cardiovascular system, and muscle tone is the key. That’s why I do muscle conditioning exercises because, as we age, we lose muscle tone if we don’t use it.”

Austin joins other celebrities who’ve recently highlighted body positivity.

Beverly Hills, 90210 star Jennie Garth, 53, shared photos on Instagram modeling underwear. “I never thought I’d be doing my first underwear shoot at 53 … but here we are!” Garth wrote in her post.

Actress-model Brooke Shields rang in her 60th birthday by posing in a black bikini while sitting in a hammock. “Woke up today in paradise … and in a new decade of life! This is 60! Thank you for all of the birthday love,” Shields wrote on Instagram.
