Trade Review
We take it for granted that our complex bodies will just keep on going forever in excellent condition, which is like buying a Ferrari and leaving it sitting out in the weather all year long, for years on end, and expecting it to just continue to work perfectly. This book needs to be the curriculum for any human who moves and desires to move well. Read it. Your body will thank you. -- Ben Greenfield, author, coach, and speaker
Built to Move is a must-read for anyone with a body - that is to say, you. The Starretts have written a sweeping yet easy-to-understand and practical guide for anyone who wants to live healthier in the 21st century, from professional athletes to those well beyond retirement age. The book's strength lies in how it blends the authors' decades of cutting-edge practice with breaking science to help us live longer and better. Critically, Built to Move inspires action. It changed how I live my life, and I'm better for it. It'll do the same for you. -- Michael Easter, bestselling author of The Comfort Crisis
Built to Move is a game-changer. Most fitness books stop at the proverbial gym door; the Starretts crash through that door and show that the most important work for better health happens outside the gym, and it's available to literally everyone. -- David Epstein, bestselling author of Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialised World
