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 and if you're not giving it what it needs you're not counteracting the effects of the technology-dependence and sedentary living that come with our modern way of life.
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? How do we continue to feel great and function well as we age?
The answers lie in a simple formula for basic mobility maintenance: 10 tests + 10 physical practices = 10 ways to make your body work better.
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.
