It felt targeted at people who aren't already fairly comfortable thinking about human movement on a systematic / mechanical level. I did find myself agreeing with most of the author's central ideas: that mobility and health are more defined by the 95% of the time we spend outside the gym than our time inside it. Unfortunately, I didn't find much real guidance on integrating healthier movement patterns into daily life, and there wasn't anything in the corrective exercises that I didn't already have in my mental body-debugging toolkit. This is a paradigm-shifter of a book. I read it, was highly resistant to the message, backed off, listened to a few of the KatySays podcasts, came back, read it again, and felt like a wall fell. Read it. Now. Then read her other books. Then circle back again. Rumor has it her upcoming book shifts the natural movement paradigm even further, and I can't wait. This is not a book you could borrow from the library to follow the advice from, it's a book you borrow from the library, realise that it resonates and buy your own copy. Or you read it, think about it and decide that you may have to work up to this. All the stuff you would have to do to lead up to this is pretty life-changing, it is interesting to read and I'm not sure I got all of the biology stuff. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Dr. Joan Vernikos former director of NASA's Life Sciences Division and author of Sitting Kills, Moving Heals. This new expanded edition of the bestselling Move Your DNA features an exercise glossary and a 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 help those of all strengths and fitness levels transition 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. The "movement is not optional" argument is so convincing, this audiobook was designed to be listened to while walking, each chapter listing the mileage for that section. An average walker will complete 20 miles while listening!. No library descriptions found. |

I love Katy Bowman! This book is fascinating - it's probably not overstating to say that it's life-changing! I'd recommend it to anyone, since the material in it literally applies to everyone.
Note for the Christians: There are a few references to evolution, though they are easy to discern and honestly didn't change the implications of the book's thesis.
Why I didn't give it 5 stars: There is a lot of technical writing spread throughout (as it applies to the human body) and I think Bowman did her best in describing everything in great detail to be as specific as possible, particularly when describing the various exercises she prescribes. However, I'm a very visual person, and I just needed more photos. There would typically be one photo for each exercise. I'm the type who needs 2 or 3 - a beginning stance, ending stance, and sometimes the movement in-between - to really know what I'm doing. ( )
