About this listen

 THE SUNDAY TIMES & NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"The definitive guide for building an all-round healthy and high-performing body and mind."
Andrew Huberman, professor of neuroscience, Stanford University, and host of the Huberman Lab podcast

The sit-and-rise test that can predict your likely lifespan
The one-leg balance that indicates your risk of being seriously injured in a fall
The floor-sit and squat moves that could reduce your chance of arthritic hip pain by up to 90%

Your body is built to move, but do you know how to give it what it needs for lifelong strength and mobility?

After decades spent working with pro-athletes and Olympians, mobility pioneers Kelly and Juliet Starrett began thinking about the physical wellbeing of the rest of us. What makes a durable human at any age? How do we continue to feel great and function well as we grow older in a world of technology-dependence and sedentary living?

The answers lie in a simple formula for basic mobility maintenance: 10 tests + 10 physical practices = 10 ways to make your body work better. These tests involve no cardio, no strength training and are achievable at any fitness level.

Organised around ten assessments and ten physical practices that anyone can do, Built to Move is designed to improve the way your body feels - less stiffness! fewer aches and pains! - and boost the overall quality of your life, no matter how you spend your time.

This book is your game plan for the long game.

"There is no body this book will not revolutionise."

Having listened to why we sleep by Matthew Walker, I met someone on holiday who highly recommended this book. It’s a little bit dry but I listened to it over time and took some key notes which has already had a huge impact on my life. There are some simple things like sitting cross-legged and doing squats in front of the TV which earn you rewards very quickly. It dips into some key take her messages from other essential books giving a great overall picture to improve health.

Extremely useful tips from a range of essential health building blocks

Being a gym rat I love to learn about all elements of the body. This book is well balanced as not only covers mobilisation but many other things like breathing and nutrition. It points out mobilisation is it’s own exercise that must be worked upon over and above stretching, yoga, pilates, HIT etc

Highly recommended, well narrated and informative.
