The new standard in fitness books, featuring hundreds of at-home
stretches and exercises. At last, the first complete, fully
illustrated compium of stretching and exercises for every part of
the body, backed by the experience and medical and scientific
authority of the American Physical Therapy Association. Each
exercise in the book has been prepared and reviewed by a special
editorial board, chaired by Dr. Marilyn Moffat, president emeritus
of the APTA, and widely considered to be the preeminent expert in
the field.
Broken down into three major sections, the book first offers
illustrated descriptions of the structure and mechanics of each
major body part, explaining what can go wrong and how to properly
care for that area. A middle section provides general information
on posture, body mechanics, weight control, aerobic conditioning,
and maintenance programs. Each chapter references the main part of
the book, the catalog of exercises.
Many work hard on good posture and better walking and running
alignment, but it's critical to understand how what you put on your
feet each day can play a bigger role in the function of your feet,
ankles, knees, hips, and spine than you might realize. "By applying
the principles in this book, you will be able to restore your
foundation and prevent dysfunction." Ray McClanahan, DPM
Biomechanist and author of Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief, Katy
Bowman offers walkers, runners, and health professionals alike
clear, accessible lessons on how the shape of shoes can play a role
in painful feet, knees, and hips and what to do about it. When we
have painful feet and weak ankles it seems like stiff, supportive
shoes are the answer, but this solution can be temporary,
especially if our issues stem from foot and leg weakness. In short,
humans come with great "foot technology," we just need to learn how
to use it. Minimal footwear shoes that protect your feet while
still letting them move freely is gaining traction (get it?). Being
barefoot is a natural human movement, but research shows simply
kicking off our shoe-shackles and releasing our feet into the wild
can result in injury. Whole Body Barefoot will help you safely and
effectively transition to minimal footwear, reaping the enormous
benefits of freeing your feet without injuring yourself along the
way. Whole Body Barefoot presents: 25 exercises to create strong,
supple, feel-better feet The mechanics of bunions and pronation How
to strengthen weak ankles and arches How to figure out your true
shoe-size The importance of walking on natural surfaces "Vitamin
Texture!" With clear, science-based explanations, Bowman lays out
how conventional shoes and artificial environments leave us with
sedentary feet as well as the steps necessary to restore lost foot
function, and improve health...naturally!
