Summary
Buried under "You Are What You Eat" headlines is another perspective supported by the latest research: You are, actually, how you move. Move Your DNA explains the science behind our need for natural movement - right down to the cellular level. It examines the differences between the movements in a typical hunter-gatherer's life and the movements in our own. It shows the many problems with using exercise like movement vitamins instead of addressing the deeper issue of a poor movement diet. Best of all, Move Your DNA contains the corrective exercises, habit modifications, and simple lifestyle changes we need to make in order to free ourselves from disease and discover our naturally healthy, reflex driven selves. The "movement is not optional" argument is so convincing, this audiobook was designed to be listed to while walking - each chapter listing the mileage for that section. An average walker will complete 20 miles while listening! From couch potatoes to professional athletes, new parents to seniors, listeners will love Katy's humorous, passionate, and - above all - science-based guide to restoring your body and

Yes
Any additional comments?
It does get quite technical. I'm fine with that but it's worth being aware that you will learn a lot about how your body works and a lot of new terms.

New ideas!
A very Interesting book on how we look at exercise and how our bodies are designed to move. Will certainly be trying these movements throughout everyday activities to regain motions lost in the modern day environments. Thanks Katy!

A Very Important Work
This book explains the science and practice of healthy alignment and movement and how to work towards it, offsetting the effects of our modern sedentary lifestyles and the changes they have effected on our bodies.
Katy Bowman gives careful consideration to how she communicates this information and is a truly great communicator. There are lots of photos and diagrams in the layout of the physical book and I bought this first. However because it is the sort of work I will keep revisiting as I deepen my understand and improve the way I move I was keen to listen to her read it too while out walking my dogs. There is a PDF available to accompany this audio book for folk who don't have the real book.
Listening to it made an enormous difference to my understanding of the principles and I recommend anyone to do it. This understanding has enabled me to improve my strength and energy as well as dramatically reduce muscle stiffness that I have been struggling with for at least fifteen years.

Loved it!
Katy is such a warm, lovely and engaging narator! She explains the science of movement in a way that everyone understands and also doesn't get you bored. I learned a lot and I look at movement and my posture in a totally different way now. I will try to implement as much as possible into my daily life, as I know I can make many improvements after listening to the audiobook. In short, I loved everything Katy had to say! Much love, Katy! Keep up the great work and positive vibes!

Brilliant delivery from a logical, scientific wealth of knowledge.
Everyone should listen to this, to understand who they are physiologically & how we can simply improve our overall health just by moving, even vaguely like we have evolved to as primates and mammals. KB delivers such comprehensive and up to date insight about the human body, with conversational ease.

Brilliant book, fun to listen author
This book sums up the last 15 years of coaching and athletic experience I have, explains beautifully the miskates I did so repeatedly during that time and the conclusions one can boil from them. If you want to be healthy or at least do your best on that direction - this is a must read book!
