Did you know that falls are one of the leading causes of injury and loss of independence as we age? The good news is that many falls can be prevented with the right habits and training.
According to the McMaster Optimal Aging Portal, the top predictors of falls include:
Frailty
Balance
Chronic conditions
Psychosocial factors
Mobility
Cognition
Strength
The key is to address these factors proactively—and this is where having a personal coach can make a world of difference.
How Your Personal Coach Can Help You Reduce Fall Risk:
Frailty – Stay Active: Regular activity keeps your muscles strong and your body resilient. A personal coach will ensure your workouts are safe and effective.
Balance – Practice Balance Exercises: Balance training helps you stay steady and confident in everyday movements, preventing slips and stumbles.
Mobility – Keep Moving Intentionally: Stretching and mobility drills improve flexibility, joint health, and fluidity of movement.
Strength – Do Strength Training 3 Times Per Week: Strength training not only builds muscle but also supports your bones, helping you stay upright and independent.
You don’t need to wait until a fall happens to take action. With guidance from a personal coach, you can build a strong foundation, improve your confidence, and keep living life on your terms.
