Fitness after 50: How to prevent injuries

It's just as important to exercise when you're in your golden years as when your in your 20s. You might not be able to work out as hard, but don't let that keep you from being active. Preventing injuries is important, but maintaining proper form and following a few easy tips can help. Here are some tips from Everyday Health:

• Do stand on one leg to improve balance and strength in that leg
• Do warm up for at least 10 minutes before every workout
• Do also do a cool-down
• Don't always doing the same exercises -- switch up your routine every now and then
• Don't just do cardio -- lift weights a few times each week.
  
• Do check with your doctor
