Denise Austin

Actor · b. 1957 · San Pedro, California, USA

Denise Austin is the greatest fitness show host ever! Her television shows on ESPN and Lifetime TV from 1987-2008 were excellent! She always gave the viewers great workouts from exotic locations and didn't mind at all showing off her many wonderful physical assets while doing so. She gave a new name to exercise fashion by pushing the limit in skimpy exercise wear on her shows. Her workouts were fun and her fitness advice was easy to understand and very useful. She is still producing exercise videos and writing fitness books. Denise, you were the original sexy "TV fitness babe" and you had the great fitness knowledge to go with it! In April 2007 a Washington, DC newspaper called the Washington City Paper featured an article on Austin under their "Cheap Seats" column, where she was questioned about how some of her exercise shows on YouTube are like pornography to some people. Austin said that she was totally unaware. She also reportedly said, with a giggle, that she was worried about it.
