Simple and proven physical practices designed to improve the way your body feels—less stiffness! fewer aches and pain!— and boost the overall quality of your life, no matter how you spend your time.  From the innovators behind The Ready State and the movement bible Becoming a Supple Leopard.
“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

  • 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.
    * This audiobook edition contains a bonus PDF of exercises, daily routine breakdowns, food prep charts, and other useful resources from the book.

        In this useful program, husband and wife Kelly and Juliet Starrett (Deskbound)—founders of The Ready State company, which provides personal training services—share “instructions on how to prepare your body for whatever comes its way.” The authors detail 10 ways to make the body more resilient, focusing on how readers can achieve greater ease of movement and improve overall health. Eschewing intensive workouts, the Starretts focus on boosting mobility through simple exercises. Sitting for long stretches of time, they suggest, leads to knee and back pain, and they describe activities for engaging affected muscles, including lying down and raising one’s leg at a 90-degree angle to stretch one’s hamstrings. To fight neck and shoulder stiffness, the authors recommend lying down with a small ball under one’s shoulder and repeatedly raising one’s arm over one’s head. Additional chapters tackle sleep and diet, encouraging readers to maintain a consistent sleep schedule and eat 800 grams of fruit and vegetables per day. Helpful illustrations demonstrate how to perform the exercises and the low intensity of the workouts will appeal to those intimidated by more demanding regimens. Even couch potatoes will be motivated to get moving.
