There is some good news: fall prevention strategies can be put into place in the home, reducing both the risk of falling and the risk of serious injury if a fall does occur. Fall prevention begins in the home and can often be completed with a few DIY adjustments.

When it comes to purposeful movement in your daily routine, do you think you're getting enough?

According to Americas Health Rankings, about 30% of seniors haven't exercised in the past 30 days. Inactivity can be more common as we age, but it doesn't have to be inevitable. You might be more motivated to get out and move if you have a team or an opponent waiting for you.
