Built to Move Book - Stay Healthy and Fit, Even When You Sit All Day.

How many hours a day do you spend sitting?

Unfortunately, for most of us, the answer is: "more than is healthy". Our bodies weren't built for a sedentary lifestyle, and the more we force them into it, the more we suffer. But what can we do when we can't completely avoid it?

Health and movement pioneers Kelly and Juliet Starrett provide the answer, showing that seemingly simple compensatory exercises and daily routines can make your life significantly longer, more vital, and more fulfilling.

You'll get a guide on how to prepare your body for anything it encounters – advancing years, injuries, or pain and stiffness resulting from a lifestyle dominated by chairs, technology, and caffeine. Contrary to expectations, this doesn't require demanding workouts, expensive equipment, or gym memberships. Quite the opposite.

You'll discover a proven formula for maintaining basic mobility consisting of 10 tests and 10 practical exercises that help professional athletes worldwide, but are also accessible to ordinary working mortals. Whether they decide to start at twenty, fifty, or seventy.

10 tests + 10 practical recommendations = countless ways to improve your body's functionality.

In the book, you'll learn, among other things:

• What happens to your body when you sit for more than 30 minutes at a time.
• That regular exercise isn't enough if you don't move properly for the rest of the day.
