AARP Welcomes Fitness Guru Denise Austin

While most of our Fit Librarian subscribers might not yet be old enough to be reading AARP magazine or even know that AARP stands for the American Association of Retired Persons, the organization often gives good advice for people of all ages.

Recently Denise Austin, the well-known fitness expert became the wellness ambassador for AARP and has posted a series of exercise videos exclusively for the organization. Some of these exercises take just over a minute to perform. For those wanting to strengthen and stretch specific body parts Ms. Austin has videos targeting feet and ankles, knees, backs, shoulders and more. She also demonstrates a few exercises that can be done while watching TV (like a modified sit-up) or while standing waiting for your morning coffee (such as a kitchen-counter push-up). So, no matter what your age, check out the link for some exercise ideas. Here it is: Denise Austin for AARP
