You have received helpful advice from those who replied to your question. I am 82 and have been attending a senior active class 3 times a week for 10 years in addition to daily 2 mile walks. My gym teacher, who is 83 now, has a mantra. Don't fall. We do balance, stretching and core strength using bands, weights etc. We have practiced scenarios in class that when and if you do fall, you should be able to get up on your own. So my advice is to practice your balance, keep your core strong so you are able to help yourself if you do fall. If you can find a senior class in a gym near you or a balance class somewhere, I would advise you to learn more about it and go, if you can. You will meet people your age (I don't know how old you are ....just assuming you are not a youngster).

Situational and self awareness is such good advice especially as you age. You have to keep your body strong and your core strong and you can do that with proper exercise. This is so important for everyone. People my age who do have a fall usually end up in rehab or the hospital and many don't ever leave.

Eat healthy, maintain a decent weight, stay aware and move, move move.
