Denise Austin Bio

Denise Austin, fitness expert, has encouraged millions over the years to embrace her belief in staying fit naturally through portion control and regular exercise. Denise's approach to fitness was first introduced to a large audience in 1984 through her Washington Post column and regular appearances on NBC's "The Today Show."

In 1987 Denise Austin began her very own fitness show called "Getting Fit" on the sports oriented television network ESPN. With millions of viewers gained during the shows ten year run, this opened the door for other opportunities, including the sale of exercise equipment and the release of multiple exercise videos and DVDs. Video and DVD titles such as Ultimate Fat Burner , the Get Fit Fast video series, Power Yoga Plus and Pilates for Everybody have inspired millions to stay fit in spite of the demands of career and family.

Denise Austin's commitment to fitness was reconfirmed when she testified before U.S. Senate to offer her support of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions' (HELP) "Improved Nutrition and Physical Activity Act." She was also made a member of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports in 2002 by President George H.W. Bush.

As an author, Denise Austin has distinguished herself with popular titles such as Denise Austin's Ultimate Pregnancy Book (1999), Lose Those Last 10 Pounds (2001), Fit and Fabulous After Forty: A 5-Part Program for Turning Back the Clock (2002), Shrink Your Female Fat Zones (2003), Pilates for Every Body (2003), Sculpt Your Body with Balls and Bands(2004), and more recently Eat Carbs, Lose Weight: Drop All the Pounds You Want without Giving up the Foods You Love (2005) . In addition, Denise Austin is a columnist for prevention magazine -- offering fitness advice through this widely circulated publication.

It seems likely that her commitment to physical fitness began with her gymnastic training, which started at age 12. The strict diet and regular training regimen required to excel at gymnastics layed the ground work for her career as a fitness expert. Years later, Denise Austin received an athletic scholarship in women's gymnastics from the University of Arizona.

As a gymnast at the University of Arizona, her talent and hard work led to her earning a ranking of 9th in the NCAA on the balance beam. In spite of her accomplishments, she realized that olympic gold as a gymnast was not in her future so she began to plan ahead, which eventually led to her transfering to California State University at Long Beach. This transfer to sunny California brought her closer to her childhood home of San Pedro. At California State University, Denise Austin ultimately earned a B.A. in physical education with an emphasis in exercise physiology. Her teaching credentials led to jobs as an aerobics instructor, local television co-host, and, ultimately, host of her own fitness show on KABC in Los Angeles.

In 1983 Denise married Jeff Austin -- brother of former tennis pro Tracy Austin. Denise and Jeff have two daughters -- Kelly and Katie born in 1990 and 1993, respectively. They all reside in Alexandria, Virginia.

After roughly 20 years of offering fitness advice and instruction, Denise Austin is remains quite popular. She recently had a fitness show on Lifetime television network called "Denise Austin's Daily Workout," which was cancelled in April of 2008. Denise Austin produced these shows each fall on location in resorts in the Caribbean and Arizona. Recently released videos include Burn Fat Fast, Blast Away the Pounds, and the Hit the Spot Pilates video on DVD or VHS.

Denise Austin video clips found on the Internet.

Some have been wondering exactly why Denise Austin's daily workout was cancelled. Lifetime television network has not given an official explanation, at least not one that I am aware of. So, I am assuming the show was cancelled for the same reason most shows are cancelled: low ratings. I've noticed that several networks have taken shows out of their lineups before the May sweeps period. They don't want low rated shows messing up their May sweeps month. It looks like Daily Workout fell under that category. I guess even faithful Denise Austin viewers got tired of seeing the same old episodes over and over again :-)
