I hope so . The idea of back casting is instead of trying to say , well , if I'm 25 what do I need to be doing tomorrow when I'm 26 ? And then what do I need to be doing when I'm 30 ?
So it got me thinking that at least for me , how would I mitigate that ? So I came up with this idea of back casting instead of forecasting what I want to do in the end . And I borrow that term back casting from Annie Duke who wrote Thinking in Bets a book that I love and Annie will also be a guest on the podcast .
It is pretty much maximum cardiac output just beneath vo two max above functional threshold . It puts an amazing strain on the body and frankly , while doing that is better than sitting on a couch all day , that is generally past the point of optimizing longevity returns and it actually comes at some longevity cost relative to something more at a slightly lower energy system . So , everything I'm talking about is geared towards this Centenarian Olympics , which we've talked about in the past , this idea of being the most kick ass 90 year old possible .
When you look at me move prior to sort of becoming obsessed with and schooled in these disciplines of , as you mentioned , one of them dynamic neuromuscular stabilization or DNS , it's always a little bit of an inefficient way to get things done and it results in a lot of force leakage or seeping out around my scapula , my elbow , my knee , my back , my hips . And this is sort of one of the root causes of a lot of the chronic injuries . A lot of us have .
I'm your host , Peter Attia . This podcast , my website and my weekly newsletter all focus on the goal of translating the science of longevity into something accessible for everyone . Our goal is to provide the best content in health and wellness full stop .
