Our abdominal muscles are rarely "broken"; rather their weakness is a reflection of how little we use our entire body. Whether you have diastasis recti, a hernia, are postnatal, or simply have a very weak midsection--this is the definitive "whole-body" guide to restoring your core! Abdominal muscles have many important jobs―twisting the spine safely, accommodating pregnancy, protecting your abdominal organs, and even breathing are just some of the jobs we want them to do well. Many will try to fix their middle though crunches and other abdominal exercises without realizing that things like tight shoulder muscles, poor posture habits, and even our breathing patterns can be affecting what's going on in our abs. In Diastasis Recti, biomechanist Katy Bowman: Gives 30+ exercises, organized into Small, Medium, and Big MovesExpands the core to include essential parts, like the shoulders and pelvis (and how movement patterns here can worsen abdominal separations)Explains why it's better to think of a diastasis (abdominal hernias, or even weakness) as a symptom rather than as "the problem"Teaches 5 simple postural adjustments to change the forces on the front of the abdomenNotes that in addition to exercises, you can sit, stand, and walk for a stronger core By making the material understandable, approachable, and achievable, Bowman offers an outstanding and necessary guide to diastasis recti and many other abdomen-related issues. Everyone can benefit from these insights and improve their health in an empowered and proactive way. --Foreword Reviews Diastasis Recti is for anybody wanting to improve both the function and the appearance of their abdomen!

What if, during a bout of running or cycling, parts of you were still sedentary? What if our entire model for how a cell behaves were based on cells immobilized in a petri dish? What if natural movement was more than barefoot running and tree-climbing, and required a group of people? Thought-provoking, inspiring, and always entertaining, Movement Matters is a deep exploration of movement beyond exercise via a compendium of essays from bio-mechanist and movement ecologist Katy Bowman. Comprising her best essays from 2011 to 2016, organized by theme, Movement Matters explores the main areas in which she has focused her most recent work: Dismantling our current understanding of movement science; Exploring movement ecology and the nature of movement; Giving practical advice for creating a movement-based lifestyle. A companion to Alignment Matters (2013) 9780989653909, Movement Matters presents the deepening of Katys groundbreaking work, models that have evolved from thinking of the body as a single structure to considering it to be a cluster of a trillion bodies, and how those trillion bodies are being loaded by forces both inside (via muscular contraction) and outside (our cells are moved by the world around us). From movement nutrients to furniture-free homes to forest school to the problems with asking for scientific proof, our cultural bias against movement is explored from many angles. The reader is left with a deeper understanding of the challenges we face as a movement-starved cultureand of the absolute joy and freedom that natural, nutritious movement can bring us.
