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 movements―like 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.

A brilliant book from a brilliant mind.
Katy Bowman... The information Katy Bowman delivers has changed the way I live my life. I follow Katy's work through various media types- videos, podcasts, movement lessons, facebook etc. This book is the pinnacle of all of the information she has delivered to this point and it can be either a starting point for people just learning about her concepts for the first time, or is also great for people with more understanding of these concepts. I have read the book and listened to the audio version after that. I will probably read it several more times over the next year or so. There is such a wealth of information, and yet it is so easy to read and flows magically. I believe these concepts are so overlooked in our cultures, yet so incredibly important to our health, yet so incredibly obvious and simple once you hear it. I want to share it with the world (sorry that sounds super cheesy) and I ordered 5 copies so that I could give them as gifts to people that I think might like the material, or to lend/give to people that seem interested through everyday conversations I have (I try to bring up various movement topics frequently throughout my days). Read it. Give it some time and read it again. I also Highly recommend searching Katy Bowman in the podcast app and listening to them whilst walking. (her own show is great but my favourites are the ones she is a guest speaker on, and there a fair few of them) Incredibly interesting stuff and they are free so thats always good... Although I am a fan of digital books in general, in my opinion this one is best read from a physical book as there will be times when you want to flip back and forward to look at diagrams or re-check a term, something like that. A brilliant book from a brilliant mind. 10 stars out of 5. The end.

Very interesting and relevant to movement in everyday life
I really enjoyed this book and learned a lot. It's thought-provoking. The message is a helpful one -- even if you 'exercise', what are you doing with your movement in the other 23 hours of your day? I am typing this standing up and exercising my feet on a ball -- strategies suggested in the book that are easy to implement. Recommended.
