Built to Move: The Ten Essential Habits to Help You Move Freely and Live Fully

“The definitive guide for building an all-around healthy and high-performing body and mind.” —Andrew Huberman, Professor of Neurobiology, Stanford University & Host of The Huberman Lab Podcast
After decades spent working with pro-athletes, Olympians, and Navy Seals, mobility pioneers Kelly and Juliet Starrett began thinking about the physical well-being of the rest of us. What makes a durable human? How do we continue to feel great and function well as we age? And how do we counteract the effects of technology-dependence, sedentary living, and other modern ways of life on our body’s natural need for activity?
The answers lie in an easy-to-use formula for basic mobility maintenance: 10 tests + 10 physical practices = 10 ways to make your body work better
The book offers:
Easy mobilization practices to increase range of motion and avoid injury
Intuitive ways to integrate more movement into your daily life and escape sedentary habits
No-fuss guidelines for improving nutrition and sleep
Basic breathing practices to manage stress and pain
Quick and simple assessments to gauge progress and what needs improvement
Tips and perspectives on healthy aging
It’s full of foundational wisdom for everyone from beginners to professional athletes and everyone in between. Built to Move introduces readers to a set of simple principles and practices that are undemanding enough to work into any busy schedule, lead to greater ease of movement, better health, and a happier life doing whatever it is you love to do—and want to continue doing as long as you live. This book is your game plan for the long game.

Good simple ways to get a more healthfull way of living, uses principals rather than proscriptions and written in an entertaining way. Recommended

Well, of course you have to do more than read the book to have it work, but there are some great exercises in here that really turned my misery around. I’m 62 and was in decent shape, but my back was just killing me for about 1 year. As soon as I started their mobilizations, it started to get better and now I barely notice it. Very grateful!

Enjoyed the audiobook but cannot find the pdf that was supposed to come with it. Does anyone know how to access it?

I heard these guys on rich roll and reserved book at library. In the meantime, I started incorporating some things s they mentioned such as tying shoe standing up and bear foot walking .
But I was shocked at all the great info and advice to practice that I found in this book. I am 58, in great shape, long time cross fitter . But I gave it partly because my body kept having painful “injuries” ( no broken limbs, but other things).
Now I started incorporating a few things as I am listening and already feeling a different in aches and pains. Beating techniques with wh are totally new to me. So, I bought the actual book now and can’t wait to fully Duce in.
The only thing I would say needs improvement is the pictures of exercises are ok, but not precise , so, so for example: the hip extension /runners lunge is not clear whether you keep your stretched out leg elevated or you can put knee down .
Otherwise, I highly recommend this very practical adjunct to all your other longevity info.
