"Move Your DNA is a landmark in explaining biomechanics."—Dr. Joan Vernikos former director of NASA's Life Sciences Division and author of Sitting Kills, Moving Heals.
This expanded edition of the bestselling Move Your DNA includes an exercise glossary and three-level exercise program, available to audiobook listeners as a free PDF supplement.
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-prioritizing lifestyle
- discusses the issues with using repetitive exercise as "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.
Unique to the audiobook: a pedometer encouraging readers/listeners to walk our talk! Those who walk while they listen can take advantage of the mileage projections for each chapter of the book. An average walker will complete 20 miles while listening!
