“Train for the Last Decade: Why Exercise Is the Most Powerful Longevity Tool We Have”

As the holidays approach, most people start thinking about what they want to change next year — eat better, move more, lose weight, get stronger. But what if the goal wasn’t just to look better next year… what if it was to live better for decades to come?

That’s the idea behind longevity physician Dr. Peter Attia’s philosophy — that exercise is the single most effective tool we have to improve both lifespan and healthspan.In other words, it’s not just about how long you live, but how well you move, feel, and perform in the years that matter most.

🧠 The Centenarian Decathlon: Training for the Future You

Attia uses a concept he calls the “Centenarian Decathlon” — a list of physical tasks you want to be able to do in your 80s or 90s. Things like:

• Carrying groceries up a flight of stairs

• Picking up your grandchild from the floor

• Getting up off the ground without help

• Hiking with friends

• Living independently

Now, imagine being able to do all of that — strong, confident, and pain-free — because of what you’re doing today.That’s what we mean by training for longevity.

🏋️ Exercise as Medicine

According to Attia’s research, no drug, supplement, or diet compares to the impact of consistent training.Regular exercise improves every system in your body:

• It strengthens your heart and lungs

• Builds and maintains lean muscle mass

• Improves balance, coordination, and mobility

• Reduces risk of cognitive decline

• Extends life expectancy by years

But perhaps most importantly — it keeps you capable.And capability is what quality of life really comes down to.
