Move Your DNA 2nd ed

Restore Your Health Through Natural Movement

By: Katy Bowman

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.

Movement Matters

Essays on Movement Science, Movement Ecology, and the Nature of Movement

By: Katy Bowman

Human beings have always moved for what they need until recently. We know how a lack of movement impacts our bodies but how does culture-wide sedentarism impact the world? Movement Matters is an award-winning collection of essays in which biomechanist Katy Bowman continues her groundbreaking presentation on the interconnectedness of nature, human movement, and the environment. Winner: Foreword Indies Book Award (Gold) Here Bowman widens her there is more to movement than exercise message presented in Move Your DNA and invites us to consider this idea: human movement is a part of the ecosystem. Movement Matters explores how we make ourselves, our communities, and our planet healthier all at the same time by moving our bodies more–as well as: How did we become so sedentary? (Hint: Convenience often saves us movement, not time.) the missing movement nutrients in our food how to include more nature in education why ecosystem models need to include human movement the human need for Vitamin Community and group movement Unapologetically direct, often hilarious, and always compassionate, Movement Matters demonstrates that human movement is powerful and important, and that living a movement-filled life is perhaps the most joyful and efficient way to transform your body, community, and world.

My Perfect Movement Plan

The Move Your DNA All Day Workbook

By: Katy Bowman

Create a personalized movement plan you love. You’ve heard of the million benefits of movement, but you can’t make it work in your body or your own life.

Maybe you want to move more but you don’t have the time—or can’t because moving hurts. The best way to approach movement is to think of it like food—we need certain amounts of all different kinds for our bodies to be healthy. My Perfect Movement Plan helps you figure out exactly which types of movement you’re already getting, what you might be missing, and where to fit it into your daily life. This workbook is all about discovering the “movement diet” your body needs. Not any body, but your body, specifically. Complete dozens of self-assessment questions and worksheets to develop a plan--your perfect plan--for nourishing your body with movement in a way that’s sustainable, meaningful, adaptable, and even restful.

Whole Body Barefoot

Transitioning Well to Minimal Footwear

By: Katy Bowman

Many work hard on good posture and better walking and running alignment, but it’s critical to understand how what you put on your feet each day can play a bigger role in the function of your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine than you might realize. By applying the principles in this book, you will be able to restore your foundation and prevent dysfunction. ―Ray McClanahan, DPM, inventor of Correct Toes Biomechanist and author of Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief, Katy Bowman offers walkers, runners, and health professionals alike clear, accessible lessons on how the shape of shoes can play a role in painful feet, knees, and hips―and what to do about it. When we have painful feet and weak ankles it seems like stiff, supportive shoes are the answer, but this solution can be temporary, especially if our issues stem from foot and leg weakness. In short, humans come with great foot technology, we just need to learn how to use it. Minimal footwear―shoes that protect your feet while still letting them move freely―is gaining traction (get it?). Being barefoot is a natural human movement, but research shows simply kicking off our shoe-shackles and releasing our feet into the wild can result in injury. Whole Body Barefoot will help you safely and effectively transition to minimal footwear, reaping the enormous benefits of freeing your feet without injuring yourself along the way. Whole Body Barefoot presents: 25 exercises to create strong, supple, feel-better feet The mechanics of bunions and pronation How to strengthen weak ankles and arches How to figure out your true shoe-size The importance of walking on natural surfaces―Vitamin Texture! With clear, science-based explanations, Bowman lays out the ways in which conventional shoes and artificial environments leave us with sedentary feet as well as the steps necessary to restore lost foot function, and improve health…naturally!

Reshape Your Exercise, Yoga, and Everyday Movement, One Part at a Time

By: Katy Bowman

This book contains all the ingredients we need. –Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times #1 Bestselling Author of Young Forever, The Pegan Diet, and The Blood Sugar Solution This book is elegant and immediately actionable. You cannot help but be changed simply by reading it. –Kelly Starrett, DPT, New York Times bestselling author of Becoming a Supple Leopard, Deskbound, and Built to Move Indie Book Award 2023--Gold Winner in the Health category We make hundreds of movement choices all day long, whether we know it or not: Walk or drive? Sit or stand? Hip to the right or to the left? Heels or flats? So how can we make the choices that leave us feeling and moving—even thinking—our best? It starts with the ways in which our body is positioned throughout the day, whether working, exercising, or resting. Rethink Your Position is your guide to everyday anatomy and alignment—part by part. Daily aches and pains can feel unavoidable, but we can start feeling better by moving better. And moving better starts with our individual body parts, and the relationship between and among those parts and the forces or loads they experience. Professionals, experienced exercisers, and new-to-movement newbies alike will discover the big and little ways our body parts move. Rethink Your Position explains how to check the way different areas are moving now, includes precision exercises to get important parts moving better, and shows how to support better health by making small changes —not only at the gym, but at the office, in the kitchen, on a walk with friends….even while you’re sleeping. With her trademark clarity and humor, biomechanist, movement teacher, and bestselling author Katy Bowman provides simple, engaging instructions that will have you rethinking your position by reshaping what you’re already doing. Learn how to: Avoid a tech neck by adjusting your head while looking at your phone Set up your computer space to open tight shoulders Switch up the way you walk for happier feet and knees Care for your hips and psoas muscles by sitting differently Adjust your pelvic tilt for a stronger pelvic floor and glutes Wake up feeling refreshed by changing your sleep shape Find even better form in your regular yoga, Pilates, or fitness workout Care for your brain (and mind) with simple movements—like chewing! Transform how you think about movement. Then watch your whole life change!

Diastasis Recti

The Whole-Body Solution to Abdominal Weakness and Separation

By: Katy Bowman

Our abdominal muscles are rarely broken; rather, their weakness is a reflection of how little we use our entire body. Whether you have diastasis recti, a hernia, are postnatal, or simply have a very weak midsection—this is the definitive whole-body guide to restoring your core! Abdominal muscles have many important jobs; twisting the spine safely, accommodating pregnancy, protecting your abdominal organs, and even breathing are just some of the jobs we want them to do well. Many will try to fix their middle through crunches and other abdominal exercises without realizing that things like tight shoulder muscles, poor posture habits, and even our breathing patterns can be affecting what’s going on in our abs. In Diastasis Recti, biomechanist Katy Bowman: Gives 30+ exercises, organized into Small, Medium, and Big Moves Expands the core to include essential parts, like the shoulders and pelvis (and how movement patterns here can worsen abdominal separations) Explains why it’s better to think of a diastasis (abdominal hernias, or even weakness) as a symptom rather than as the problem Teaches 5 simple postural adjustments to change the forces on the front of the abdomen Notes that in addition to exercises, you can sit, stand, and walk for a stronger core By making the material understandable, approachable, and achievable, Bowman offers an outstanding and necessary guide to diastasis recti and many other abdomen-related issues. Everyone can benefit from these insights and improve their health in an empowered and proactive way. —Foreword Reviews Diastasis Recti is for anybody wanting to improve both the function and the appearance of their abdomen!

Will Callie be able to figure out what her sister is trying to communicate before it’s too late?

The Impossibility of Us

By: Katy Upperman

The last thing Elise wants is to start over in a new town. But after her brother’s death in Afghanistan, she and her mother move to a sleepy coastal village to be closer to Elise’s sister-in-law and niece. When Elise meets Mati during a beachside walk, they quickly discover how much they have in common. Mati is new to town, too. Over the course of the summer, their relationship begins to blossom, and what starts out as a friendship becomes so much more. But as Elise and Mati grow closer, her family becomes more and more uncomfortable with their relationship, and their concerns all center on one fact—Mati is Afghan.

Atlas of Forecasts

Modeling and Mapping Desirable Futures

By: Katy Borner

Forecasting the future with advanced data models and visualizations. To envision and create the futures we want, society needs an appropriate understanding of the likely impact of alternative actions. Data models and visualizations offer a way to understand and intelligently manage complex, interlinked systems in science and technology, education, and policymaking. Atlas of Forecasts, from the creator of Atlas of Science and Atlas of Knowledge, shows how we can use data to predict, communicate, and ultimately attain desirable futures. Using advanced data visualizations to introduce different types of computational models, Atlas of Forecasts demonstrates how models can inform effective decision-making in education, science, technology, and policymaking. The models and maps presented aim to help anyone understand key processes and outcomes of complex systems dynamics, including which human skills are needed in an artificial intelligence-empowered economy; what progress in science and technology is likely to be made; and how policymakers can future-proof regions or nations. This Atlas offers a driver's seat-perspective for a test-drive of the future.
