Achieving A Fitter, Healthier You Without Injury?

Another great question, this one from Erminia:
How do you optimize your fitness level (cardio, strength, flexibility), while ensuring you’ll be injury free (or almost ensuring). Often times I would like to train towards something like the Ride to Conquer Cancer etc. and am held back because I worry that I will pay for the extra training with my body (back).
Having incorporated Yoga, and using things like chiro, osteo, bowen, massage, accupuncture in my life are tools I thought would really keep me injury free for years. Although I’ve not really experienced anything major, I don’t like to be held back.
Is this just something one has to accept at the ripe young age of 44, or do you have tricks up your sleeve you’d like to share? I’m hoping you have a long sleeved shirt on, and not a tank top – ha!
