Recently, I did an episode about an article I found on the Wall Street Journal.

It was really about research that indicates exercise has a pretty profound impact on longevity,

on how long we live, and how we over time tend to, we're looking

for the silver bullet. We're looking for the newest thing that could add years to our life.

And this research, massive research indicates probably the most effective thing that you

and I can do to extend our

lives is to exercise, to move more, to sit less. But there was another little nugget that was

tucked in that article that I didn't talk about in that episode that I kept thinking about,

that I kept going back to in my mind. And I can't remember if it was the journalist, the person who wrote the article, or if it

was someone that they interviewed.

I think it was someone they interviewed.

But that's neither here nor there.

And he said that he visualizes the things that he wants to do at age 90.

And then that informs the exercising that he does now.

So, for example, he wants to still be able to travel at age 90.

He still wants to be able to put luggage in the overhead compartment on an airplane.

And so he's doing exercises, physical activity now, so that he could still do that thing,

lifting something that has some weight to it

over his head and putting it into the overhead compartment.

And I thought, what an interesting, fascinating way to look at exercise and fitness.

Instead of in this abstract, well, I want to age well, which is what I want and what I've

said often, to be really specific about what does that look like?
