Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! DescriptionBuilt to Move by Juliet Starrett and Kelly Starrett is a revolutionary approach to physical wellness that delves into the intricacies of human mobility and longevity. This book is the culmination of their extensive experience and expertise in working with pro-athletes, Olympians, and everyday people, focusing on the principles that help maintain a healthy, high-performing body and mind throughout one's lifetime.
Your body is built to move, but ensuring it receives what it needs for lifelong strength and mobility can be challenging. In a world increasingly dominated by technology dependence and sedentary lifestyles, this book offers critical insight into creating a durable human body capable of ageing gracefully while staying functional and pain-free.
By following a simple yet effective formula for basic mobility maintenance, the authors present 10 assessments and 10 physical practices that are accessible at any fitness level. These practices involve no cardio or strength training and are designed to alleviate stiffness, aches, and pains, ultimately enhancing your overall quality of life.
Built to Move is organised around these ten assessments and physical practices:
- The sit-and-rise test – Can predict your likely lifespan.
- The one-leg balance – Indicates your risk of being seriously injured in a fall.
- The floor-sit and squat moves – Can reduce the chance of arthritic hip pain by up to 90%.
Each test and practice is designed to be easily incorporated into daily routines, making it feasible for anyone to maintain and improve their physical health. Whether you are an athlete or someone looking to prevent injury and discomfort, this guide is your go-to resource.
Endorsed by experts and renowned figures such as Andrew Huberman, Professor of Neuroscience at Stanford University and host of the Huberman Lab podcast, who calls it "the definitive guide for building an all-round healthy and high-performing body and mind," this book holds the keys to unlocking your full potential.
Additionally, Melissa Urban, cofounder of Whole30, declares that "there is no body this book will not revolutionise," while Christopher McDougall, bestselling author of Born to Run, describes it as his "dream come true – a way to get ahead of injuries before they happen."
Built to Move is more than just a book; it’s your game plan for a long, healthy, and active life. Prepare to transform the way you look after your body with insights that will sustain your health and mobility long into the future.
This book is your game plan for the long game.
