Feet on bench. Gaudreau sees people place their feet on the bench, often because their feet don’t comfortably reach the floor. But this modification takes the legs out of the lift. “We need to push through the legs to create stability in the core and tension in the lower body when we bench,” she explains.

Practicing this technique is important for instances of slipping or being knocked backward.

Tuck your chin to your chest, curling up through your core to raise your head away from the ground. Extend your arms straight in front of you, in the direction of your knees, with palms down.

Falling is part of life. Whether tripping over a pet or uneven pavement, tumbling off a bike, slipping on ice, or wiping out while skiing, unintentional falls can occur at any age and are a leading cause of injury-related ER visits. What you can learn to avoid — or at least minimize — is getting injured. Training agility, coordination, and multiplanar movement can build resilience in the event of a fall. And learning how to fall safely can help you react quickly when you do take a tumble.

It was probably unwise to dive into Gail Godwin’s new book, Getting to Know Death, while still nursing a head injury from my recent gravitational difficulties. I was already feeling a bit fragile, uncertain of my footing, and her sober meditation on the trials of advanced aging left me feeling old beyond my threescore and 12 years. Perhaps it was karmic that Godwin’s memoir — sparked by the consequences of a serious fall — arrived in my hands a couple days after my own collapse in the bathroom.
