Peter Attia has this concept he talks about called the Centenarian Decathlon, which is just a mental model to back-cast training in the present in order to be a kick-a#@ 100 year old in the future (within human limits).
It focuses specifically on the physical aspect of aging, leaving out things like cognition and basic bodily functions (i.e. going to the toilet by yourself), and focuses instead of the external physical needs.
I thought it was an interesting approach so I came up with my own list of 10 (the first 3 are the same as Attia's).
Here is my list of 10 things (that I don't think are beyond ridiculous) I'd like to be able to do at age 100:
What are your 10?
