IMO your comments are very related to the matter the video addresses. Your habits sound quite useful. Aging tempts us to take shortcuts because we want to save energy. Walking poses that kind of temptation.

We can start to miscalculate the effort we might need to perform some action.

I find I burn my arms more often while cooking because I think they're high enough over the hot item than they are. (I'm glad I learned about applying mustard to the area for 20 minutes to take its sting away.) If I toss an item on a couch or counter I'm annoyed that at times it lands too close to the nearest edge and falls off when I intended it to land further in.

In both cases I'm relying on lifelong muscle memory, but the muscle has become slightly less strong.

Turns out we need to deliberately apply maybe 10% more exertion to lift an arm or a leg, but who does that consistently? Hence the mishaps.
