Fall prevention myths for seniors are more common than most people realize, so I quizzed my grandmother to find out.

She got a few wrong, and so do most people. Most falls happen during ordinary, everyday activities rather than dramatic ones. And going years without a fall doesn't mean you're in the clear.

Nine true or false statements, real reactions, real surprises.

Follow us for more fall prevention myths and facts for seniors.

Strength training for seniors is linked to something bigger than muscle, it is linked to how long and how well you live.

A 2026 study tracking more than 147,000 adults found that 90 to 119 minutes of resistance training a week was associated with 13 percent lower all-cause mortality, 19 percent lower cardiovascular mortality, and 27 percent lower mortality from neurological disease.

That is roughly two sessions a week, well short of hours in a gym. The researchers were clear that meaningful benefits came from a realistic amount of training, rather than an extreme one.

Cross-body coordination exercises for seniors train something balance work often leaves out: how fast your brain and body pass signals back and forth.

Melissa's filming this week at Vancouver's ICORD, a spinal cord research centre, and the spinal cord is exactly what routes those signals from one side of you to the other.

Reaching across your midline, like tapping one foot out while seated, forces the two sides of your body to communicate in a way most balance drills skip entirely. That's the coordination pattern your body actually leans on mid-stumble.

When that coordination is sharp, a surprise wobble turns into a quick, clean recovery step instead of a scramble.

Follow us for a new fall prevention exercise every Friday.

Stress and anxiety in seniors directly affect balance and coordination, though the connection surprises most people.

When the mind is calm and present, the body moves with more confidence and control. Training your attention is just as valuable as training your muscles.

Managing stress supports stronger muscles, better sleep, and sharper coordination. All three build a more resilient body.
