Denise Austin was stunned when Sports Illustrated Swimsuit asked if she would walk down the runway in a bikini.
The fitness icon joined her daughter, SI Swim model Katie Austin, at the 2022 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show in July. The mother and daughter proudly rocked two-pieces on the catwalk for the live broadcast show at the W South Beach pool in Miami Beach, Florida.
“At first, I thought, ‘Am I really doing this? Are you kidding me? In a bikini at age 65?’” Austin chuckled. “But how exhilarating that was! It was this amazing, natural high. It was an honor that they even asked me. And then to do this with my daughter made it even more special. It was the highlight of my life to walk the runway with my daughter. I’m still not over it.”“It brought tears to my eyes [when I first saw her in SI],” Austin explained. “I was just so proud of her.
Most recently, she teamed up with Easy Spirit to launch a new collection on Sept. 15 named “Easy Spirit x Denise Austin.” It features active footwear designed for high or low-impact workout routines.,” she explained. “When Easy Spirit asked me to collaborate, I was so excited, because I love their shoes, but I also wanted to make a more fun style with benefits. One shoe is great for power walking that’s also very lightweight… the other is for walking fast or running.
“You could burn calories and get yourself healthy without putting pressure on the joints,” she shared. “It’s easier on your knees, your hips, your thighs and back. I recommend a brisk walk, not a power walk… I also do low-impact aerobics at home. So instead of a regular jumping jack, I will do a heel jack where you’re not jumping. The larger muscles of the body burn more calories, so you can burn more if you use your thighs and gluteus.
