This is so timely as I recently listened to a podcast where Dr. Peter Attia talked about the Centenarian Olympics The Centenarian Olympics is a personal training concept of what functional fitness level would you want to be able to achieve at 100 years old. His basics were to interact with the little ones (great grandchildren?) in his life at that time. The basics were to get up and down off the floor, lift a small child, put luggage over your head in the overhead compartment of a plane, etc. He then suggested working backwards to what should you be able to do today calculating for expected physical decline as you age to be able to achieve those goals at 100 years old.
I thought it was an interesting concept and creative way to think about longevity and fitness. These are two of the things Peter focuses on in his study/research these days.
Looking forward to following along on your journey a bit and getting your thoughts.
That's really interesting. Yes there's a massive longevity movement right now and a growing "centenarian" community. Apparently the first person that will live to be 1,000 years old is already alive today. A mixture of biomedical breakthroughs and technology will make this possible soon.
