Built to Move
by Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett
Ten physical tests and ten practices for durable bodies: sitting and rising from the floor, hip extension, breathing, walking more, eating protein and micronutrients, sleeping, and getting off chairs. It is practical, non-dogmatic and aimed at ordinary adults who want to move well at eighty.
Read it if…
you are sedentary and want a simple physical baseline that is not a workout program.
Skip it if…
you are already training seriously; this is foundations.
Three things you will actually use
- Spend time on the floor daily.
- Walk eight to ten thousand steps; it is non-negotiable.
- Breathe through the nose; eat enough protein; sleep.
Do this first
Try the sit-and-rise test: sit on the floor and stand up with as little support as possible.
Our verdict
Practical and sane; a baseline for bodies.
