Publisher's Summary
What if we can make ourselves, our communities, and our planet healthier all at the same time by moving our bodies more?
Movement Matters is a collection of essays in which biomechanist Katy Bowman continues her groundbreaking investigation of the mechanics of our sedentary culture and the profound potential of human movement. Here she widens her message and invites us to consider our personal relationship with sedentarism, privilege, and nature. Bowman explores:
- How convenience often means less movement, not more time
- The missing movement nutrients in our food
- How to include more nature in education
- The impact of adding movement to permaculture and ecological models
- Our 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.

Very interesting perspectives!
This is one I will listen to many times! Katy’s got me thinking about how little I move and how much I take for granted. For me personally, this book is a life changer! It’s made me look outside myself to see how my sedentary lifestyle effects not only my own health but the lives of others and the environment around me. It’s time for a change!

it will change your world!
An amazing book I could have happily finished in 1 sitting. Katy Bowman is a true systems thinker. I study food systems and was familiar with some concepts she covered but I was blown away with the new movement perspective she lays out. This book will change the way you think if you let it!

great information and useful stuff
This book really opened my brain to new ideas and challenged the status quo. I love the idea of stacking and I am going to use that in my life now too !
