"This is a powerful, thought-provoking "must" for any collection strong in not just health routines, but in health science."--Midwest Book Review, "Move Your DNA is one of the most important books I've ever read. If you've suspected "nutritious" movement is as important to your health as nutritious food, you're right. This book explains why."--Robb Wolf, author of The Paleo Solution, "Bowman covers some complicated topics, including physics, biology, kinesiology, and mathematics, but her tone is light, conversational, and often humorous, making learning from her effortless. Skillful use of analogy and metaphor makes complex topics accessible. For example, Bowman explains that loads are akin to the bending and rustling of a tree on a windy day and that inactivity can lead to disease in a way similar to that of a confined orca that develops a floppy fin. Move Your DNA is enjoyable, convincing, and sure to change the way fitness buffs (and couch potatoes) move." --Foreword Reviews [First Edition Review], "Move Your DNA is one of the most important books I've ever read.

This book explains why." --Robb Wolf, author of The Paleo Solution, "Move Your DNA is a gift of complex information presented in an easily actionable style. Katy Bowman reminds us we are not in fact at the mercy of our genesand she shares how to get started right away." --Gabrielle Reece, professional athlete and author of My Foot Is Too Big For The Glass Slipper, "A pioneering and necessary book and an instant classic." --Eden G. Fromberg, DO, for The Huffington Post [Review of First Edition], "I would recommend this book to everyone. Whether you've been doing the fitness thing for years or are an absolute beginner, you will find seeds of wisdom to help you move more and better. Move Your DNA is a paradigm shifter that acknowledges the complexity of modern movement habits while also providing helpful ways to improve and grow." --Breaking Muscle [First Edition Review], "Bowman covers some complicated topics, including physics, biology, kinesiology, and mathematics, but her tone is light, conversational, and often humorous, making learning from her effortless.

Synopsis
A new expanded edition of the bestselling Move Your DNA. Now with an exercise glossary and three-level exercise program! Accessible and fascinating, Move Your DNA is a game-changer in the world of health, fitness; and movement science. Hailed as offering a pioneering and paradigm-shifting perspective on exercise, this book: explains how movement works right down to the cellular level, examines the differences between the movements in a typical hunter-gatherer's life and the movements in a convenience-riddled lifestyle, discusses the issues with using exercise like movement vitamins instead of addressing the deeper issue of a poor movement diet, contains a three-level movement program to begin transitioning readers of all strengths and fitness levels to a movement-rich lifestyle, Move Your DNA contains corrective exercises, habit modifications, and simple lifestyle changes to free ourselves from the diseases of affluence and discover our naturally, healthy, reflex-driven selves. From couch potatoes to professional athletes, new parents to seniors, readers love Katy's humorous, passionate, and science-guide to restoring your body through natural movement. Book jacket., Bestselling Move Your DNA has shaken up the health and fitness world with this message: there is more to movement than exercise. "A landmark in explaining biomechanics." Dr. Joan Vernikos, Former Director of NASA's life science division and author of Sitting Kills, Moving Heals It's often said that "movement is medicine," but rarely is the how behind the power of movement explained. It's not only our whole body that's moving; our cells are being moved as our limbs push and pull to locomote us around, and each movement moves our cells uniquely. Some of the "big ideas" in this paradigm-shifting book include: The human body evolved to a tremendous amount of certain movementslike walking, squatting, hanging, and carrying loads our bodies still require to work well, even though they're mostly gone from our "convenience-centric" culture. Many of the ailments we face today relate to how little we move and how stiff our bodies are when we do move. Body issues are often more accurately symptoms of "movement malnutrition." Why a physical therapist or personal trainer is coaching you in alignment or "good form": we're adapting most to our daily positioning! It's not only "move more," it's "move more of your body parts!" (All bodies, couch potatoes to high-level athletes have areas that can be nourished with better movement.) We're using exercise like "movement vitamins" instead of addressing the deeper issue of a poor movement diet. We should be using both! Move Your DNA also contains: 40+ corrective exercises to help you find your "sticky spots" areas of your body that just aren't moving (even when the rest of you moves a lot) alignment checks and a guide to increasing your walking movements simple lifestyle changes to get you moving more (without always needing to add exercise!). Keen laypeople, yoga and pilates teachers, fitness enthusiasts, personal trainers, physical therapists, and athletes can all use this humorous, passionate, and science-based guide to finally getting the movement every body requires., Bestselling Move Your DNA has shaken up the health and fitness world with this message: there is more to movement than exercise.

  • Good book

    Very interesting book and has exercises one can do

  • Move Your DNA

    very well written by someone who knows what she is talking about. Great examples and applications. Useful exercises to realign your body that don't require a gym membership. More technical than Alignment Matters, but also easier to access the information. Just what I needed.

  • Very helpful book for someone to understand why moving is so important

    Just started reading it, but easy to understand and introduces some new concepts about movement that I hadn’t thought about.
