88 Year Old Fitness Instructor Wants to Know: What’s Your Excuse? – BarBend (blog)

Fitness Comments Off on 88 Year Old Fitness Instructor Wants to Know: What’s Your Excuse? – BarBend (blog)

The saying, your health is your wealth, ispossibly be the best way to sum up this Wisconsin-based fitness instructors career. To the unknowing eye, Delores Steil is quite the opposite of what youd expect from your typical fitness instructor.

Whys Steil so different? Shes 88 years old and has been teaching fitness classes at the same YMCA for the last 27-years. Fox12 Oregonrecently did a news story on Steil and her fitness instructing career, which is covered in the video below.

Possibly the best part of the video is Steils thoughts onwhat others think abouther.When asked if she sees herself as an inspiration like many of her peers do, she simply responds by saying, I dont feel special, but my daughters do, they think Im great.

If that doesnt prove Steil is in the fitness industry for the right reason, then I dont know what will. Here we have a woman receiving national news coverage and she shrugs off any attempt to point herself out as an inspiration to many people and stays humble. To top it off, Fox 12 Oregon state that shes only missed one class in the last 10 years. Keep in mind, she teaches classes three-times a week.

If you Google Delores Steil, chances are the only thing youll find on her is thisrecent news story. This scenario reminds me of the article we wrote in November on Mark Bells Why I Will Never Stop Lifting, video.

In this day and age its easy to get caught up in the flash and glamour of the fitness industry. With things like YouTube, Instagram, and influencer marketing, the fitness industry is becoming much more saturated with those who do fitness simply because they can.

Its increasingly harder to find those who do it for the pure love and enjoyment. Steil might be the definition of the pure love and enjoyment fitness can entail when youre improving yourself and others around you.
