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. A must read for exercise teachers, environmentalists, and those wanting simple, accessible ways to take action for a better world.
