There’s a peculiar sight that Jana Wilson encounters on afternoons occasionally.

In her job as a recreation specialist at Firstenburg Community Center, Wilson will sometimes spot a group of teenagers working out across from 90-year-old Olga Vilen.

“She could be doing an arm exercise, and the teenagers across from her are talking and having a good time next to her, and she fits right in,” Wilson said of Vilen, a Vancouver resident.

In spite of her age, Vilen fits right in because Firstenburg and fitness have become a consistent part of Vilen’s life as she’s aged. Most of Vilen’s adult life was spent working as a nurse and raising her own four kids, too busy to take up exercising until she and her husband moved to Clark County about 20 years ago. She’s been exercising at Firstenburg since 2007.

Vilen works out six days a week, mixing weights and cardio. She splits the weight training between leg days and arm days, and every day she walks a mile — outdoors if it’s nice, and around the indoor track if it isn’t.

“You’ve got to keep going because if you don’t, you give up,” Vilen said. “You go even when you don’t feel like it. I don’t always feel like it, but it’s just a habit.”
