- The move is “especially good for us women over 50,” she says.

Denise Austin is the queen of at-home workouts. Whether she’s teaming up with her daughter to demonstrate moves for “abs at any age,” or sharing the best tips on how to trim and tone your legs, we can always count on the fitness pro for some quick and easy ways to spice up our workouts—even when we only have a few minutes to spare. Most recently, the 69-year-old took to Instagram to share one of her “all-time favorite” moves to “tone and strengthen glutes,” and we’ve got all the details right here.
“These are especially good for us women over 50 because [they’re] SO effective and completely easy on your joints,” Austin captioned her Instagram post. “Great for your booty, your hips, your thighs, and all over lower body strength!!”
The best part is that the exercise is incredibly easy to incorporate into your regular day. “All you need is a chair, and you are ready to go,” Austin writes. “This is exactly the kind of ‘tried and true’ move I love sharing with you…simple, effective, and something you can do absolutely anywhere!! No gym, no equipment, no excuses!!”
The move in question? Butt taps. To start, Austin stands in front of a chair with your feet shoulder-width distance apart. Then, she holds her arms straight out in front of her and hinges her upper body forward while squatting to tap the chair before returning to the starting position.
“Sit down and come right back up,” she demonstrates. “Think good posture, zip up those abs, touch it, and come up. [It’s a] great way to firm and tone the bottom half to make it your better half!”
And there you have it: Proof that it doesn’t take 50 squats a day to get real, glute-strengthening results. Try it out the next time you have a few minutes for a quick, effective workout.
