If you’re looking for a simple yet effective upper body workout, you’re in luck. Fitness icon Denise Austin recently shared a “#FitOver50” workout video demonstrating three bodyweight moves that are sure to help you achieve “sexy” arms and shoulders.
“I shared some great leg moves yesterday, so today let’s work our upper body!” Austin captioned the recent video, along with signature hashtags like “#FitOver50” and “#WorkoutMotivation.” She continued: “Get up and join me now!! Here are three moves you can do with no equipment for hot shoulders…do these moves for one minute a few times each week and you WILL see results!! Xoxo”
Below, we’re breaking down each of the three moves Austin performed in the video.
Exercise #1
The first move is one that works “the sides of the shoulders,” Austin wrote. Begin with your feet together and your arms straightened and outstretched to the sides of the room with your palms facing forward. Then, lift both arms upward to about chin height and flip your palms so that they are facing the back of the room. Finally, lower your arms down toward the hips and flip your palms back to the front of the room to complete one repetition. Repeat for one minute.
Exercise #2
The next move works “the front of the shoulders,” according to Austin. Begin with your feet together and your arms bent, keeping your elbows at hip level and your forearms parallel with the ground. Then, with your palms facing inward, lift your arms up toward the ceiling while keeping the bend in your elbow—at the top of the movement, the upper part of your arms should now be parallel with the floor. Repeat this move for one minute.
Exercise #3
The final move targets “the back of the shoulders,” Austin noted. Begin with your feet together and your arms bent. Keep your elbows in toward your waist, with your forearms parallel to the ground and your hands reaching toward the sides of the room and palms facing forward. Then, while maintaining the same positioning, move both arms backward to feel a slight squeeze in the shoulder blades, pause, and then bring both arms forward as if you are holding a platter in front of you. Repeat for one minute.
After completing these three exercises, we recommend focusing on the lower body by following the "#FitOver50” workout video for lean legs that Austin mentioned in her caption. This routine consists of three ballet-inspired moves that target the glutes, inner thighs, and back of the thighs.
We love that Austin is always sharing fun, effective workout videos for her fans that inspire women of all ages to be their healthiest selves. Looking for more amazing workouts and wellness tips? Check out our favorites below.
