Human beings have always moved for what they need until recently. We know how a lack of movement impacts our bodies but how does culture-wide sedentarism impact the world?

Movement Matters is an award-winning collection of essays in which biomechanist Katy Bowman continues her groundbreaking presentation on the interconnectedness of nature, human movement, and the environment.


Winner: Foreword Indies Book Award (Gold)


Here Bowman widens her there is more to movement than exercise message presented in Move Your DNA and invites us to consider this idea: human movement is a part of the ecosystem.

Movement Matters explores how we make ourselves, our communities, and our planet healthier all at the same time by moving our bodies moreas well as:

  • How did we become so sedentary? (Hint: Convenience often saves us movement, not time.)
  • the missing movement nutrients in our food
  • how to include more nature in education
  • why ecosystem models need to include human movement
  • the human need for Vitamin Community and group movement

Unapologetically direct, often hilarious, and always compassionate, Movement Matters demonstrates that human movement is powerful and important, and that living a movement-filled life is perhaps the most joyful and efficient way to transform your body, community, and world. A must read for exercise teachers, environmentalists, and those wanting simple, accessible ways to take action for a better world.
