Absolutely!
I saw it on the news last night, and I must say I would not have guessed his age if it was not mentioned.
His cardio is probably better than mine.. :D

#5Mind blown.
His diet that consists mainly of fruits and vegetables along with his lean body are likely major factors that contribute to his youth like health at 105.

Apparently his VO2 max is similar to that of a sedentary 50-year-old.

I think I saw a variation on this article that said he started cycling regularly when he was 68.
Our city has been taking steps to make bicycle commuting more friendly, but they haven't gone far enough. I really hope we end this absurdity with having too many cars; they are ruining everywhere nice.

it it all necessary, but without great genes to provide rock solid joints, cardiovascular system and lack of debiliating diseases ala alzheimer or Parkinson it wouldn't be possible.
For every guy like him, there are thousands and thousands who exercise almost same, have almost as good diet and die in +- normal age, many even earlier (ie cancer, weak heart and so on).
At the end it's all about managing probabilities without knowing 100% picture of your health state

AFAIK age groups are by 5 years. He held the record for the 100(-104) age group, now he holds it for the 105(-110) age group.

Yes longevity is basically not taking stupid risks and genetic luck on your side. Exercise and eating healthy is about making the longevity you have enjoyable.
