Title:
Built to move : the ten essential habits to help you move freely and live fully
Summary:
After decades spent working with pro-athletes, Olympians, and Navy Seals, mobility pioneers Kelly and Juliet Starrett began thinking about the physical well-being of the rest of us. What makes a durable human? How do we continue to feel great and function well as we age? And how do we counteract the effects of technology-dependence, sedentary living, and other modern ways of life on our body’s natural need for activity? The answers lie in an easy-to-use formula for basic mobility maintenance: 10 tests + 10 physical practices = 10 ways to make your body work better. The book offers: Easy mobilization practices to increase range of motion and avoid injury; Intuitive ways to integrate more movement into your daily life and escape sedentary habits; No-fuss guidelines for improving nutrition and sleep; Basic breathing practices to manage stress and pain; Quick and simple assessments to gauge progress and what needs improvement. It’s full of foundational wisdom for everyone from beginners to professional athletes and everyone in between. Built to Move introduces readers to a set of simple principles and practices that are undemanding enough to work into any busy schedule, lead to greater ease of movement, better health, and a happier life doing whatever it is you love to do—and want to continue doing as long as you live. This book is your game plan for the long game. -- Amazon.
