Train Today for the Life You Want at 100

At 30, you’re not so invincible anymore. At 50, mobility and strength start to slip while aches and pains rise, without focused attention. By 70, these shifts can become real limitations, unless you’ve taken action long before.

Dr. Peter Attia, a leader in longevity science, proposes a bold, proactive mindset: To begin with the end in mind in what he calls the Centenarian Decathlon. Attia encourages us to identify 10-12 physical tasks we want to be able to do as we surpass 100 years of age, then train for them now.

Think beyond fitness. This is about independence, joy, and real freedom. Can you lift a suitcase overhead? Get up from the floor unassisted? Walk three kilometres comfortably? Carry groceries a few blocks?

This isn’t about being athletic at 100, it’s about living fully.

At One Wave Life, we talk often about reclaiming control, staying focused, and building a life you love. Earning a gold medal at your Centenarian Olympics is a powerful metaphor for doing just that, not just reacting to aging, but preparing for the life you want, decade by decade.

The question isn’t just how long you’ll live… but how well.

So… what would be on your personal gold medal list?
