Fall prevention isn’t just for seniors — it’s something we should all be training for throughout life.
In this important educational episode, fitness professional and author Tracy L. Markley talks about balance, walking mechanics, and fall prevention, and explains why training these skills in your 40s, 50s, and 60s dramatically reduces fall risk later in life.
Tracy highlights how balance is a skill that depends on leg strength, posture, proprioception, vision, core stability, and the brain’s ability to understand where the body is in space. She also discusses why adults start to lose balance with age, what contributes to falls, and how specific movement training can protect your independence and safety.
This episode is based on Tracy’s long history of working with seniors, adults, and stroke survivors — and now includes new insights from her book,
“Balance, Walking & Fall Prevention: A Fitness Trainer’s Guide for Seniors and Pre-Seniors.”
Whether you’re already noticing balance changes or simply want to keep your body strong for the future, this episode gives practical, science-based guidance to help you stay steady, confident, and mobile.

This is one of the most important topics for lifelong health — because independence, mobility, and confidence all depend on balance.
