Want to know what's missing in preventing injuries and falls when you're over 50? Also, learn injury-preventing exercises you can do at home.

Start off with an explanation of the performance pyramid and what foundations need to come first to keep your body well-aligned and in balance. Then, you'll learn five exercises and some variations that will help you prevent injuries in the future, especially from slipping, tripping, or falling.

With the first exercise, pay attention to the explanation of how to determine how many reps make sense for your current level of strength endurance.

Through the next set of progressions, you don't need to do the more advanced all at once. Remember to build up each layer of the pyramid slowly, only moving on when you're sure of your technique.

Doing this routine twice a week for several weeks will build up the levels of the performance pyramid to help you prevent injuries, keep you active, moving, and doing the things that you love.
