Workouts with Older Instructors

I came across this Pilates video earlier today. 30 Minute Mat Pilates Total Core Workout- get a flatter tummy! No equipment needed

I found Rachel inspiring. She's an older woman and in excellent physical shape. It's refreshing to workout with someone around my age.

Do you have any favorite workouts with older instructors?

Cathe has got to be in her late 50s?
KCM has got to be in her late 50s or nearing 60?
Kathy Smith has got to be close to 70?
Tracie Long is in her late 50s.
Ellen is in early 50s.
Leslie has got to be in her early 60s, I think she had to be in her mid-40s to late 50s when most of her workouts were released?
Miranda is early 70s?, even Sahra is in her mid-40s
Pahla B. is in her early 50s.
Jari Love has got to be in her 60s (I know she has grandkids!)
Gilad has got to be in his 60s?
Heck, even Jessica Smith is in her early 40s I think!

I totally agree, having instructors who are not spring chickens are so motivating!

Lori, now you have me wondering, are there any YOUNG instructors out there anymore?? You know, "jogging" was always a "boomer" thing. . . . is fitness in general something the younger generations are not into?

Just wanted to share the Rachel love. She is in great shape and her workouts always feel so good.

Such an interesting thought. Even when I was going to the YMCA, most of their instructors were older than 40.

My biggest exposure right now to younger instructors is the Peloton app.
