Katy Bowman Livres

La 4è de couv. indique : ''Nous sommes tous carencés en mouvement, que l'on soit sportif ou non. Car mouvement et exercice sont deux choses différentes : ce n'est pas en allant à la salle de sport ou en courant tous les dimanches, que l'on bouge au sens où l'entend Katy Bowman. Dans ce livre révolutionnaire, elle démontre que chaque jour, pour notre santé, la moindre petite partie de notre corps doit bouger. Nous devrions nous mouvoir dix fois plus, et de manière plus uniforme, comme le faisaient nos ancêtres chasseurs-cueilleurs. Le fossé entre ce que nous réalisons physiquement aujourd'hui et ce que notre corps est capable de faire est devenu immense. Ce déficit de mouvement a une incidence considérable sur tous nos tissus, nos os, nos muscles jusqu'à nos cellules. Comme la malbouffe, il nous enferme peu à peu dans les douleurs et les maladies chroniques. Katy Bowman lance un appel au mouvement naturel, un mouvement quotidien et et régulier. Pour réussir notre transition vers une vie moins sédentaire et un corps plus fonctionnel, elle propose plus de 40 exercices visant à corriger nos alignements, notre posture, nos adhérences, la mobilité de nos articulations... Et dispense des conseils précieux pour nous aider à changer nos habitudes afin que l'on bouge plus et surtout que l'on bouge mieux !"
