TRANSITIONING WELL TO MINIMAL FOOTWEAR

A full 25 percent of your body’s bones and muscles are from the ankle down. This is the book that points out we’ve all been neglecting the fitness of our feet!

The minimalist shoe fad has come and gone, but what remains is the fact that conventional footwear is hurting our bodies. Whole Body Barefoot helps the reader safely and effectively transition to minimal footwear, reaping the enormous benefits of freeing one’s feet without getting injured along the way.

With clear, science-based explanations and over 20 exercises, Katy lays out the issues created by conventional shoes and artificial environments, and describes in detail the steps necessary to transition to more natural footwear safely and effectively.

Katy Bowman

Bestselling author, speaker, and a leader of the Movement movement, biomechanist Katy Bowman is changing the way we move and think about our need for movement. Her eight books, including the groundbreaking Move Your DNA, have been translated into more than a dozen languages worldwide. Bowman teaches movement globally and speaks about sedentarism and movement ecology to academic and scientific audiences such as the Ancestral Health Summit and the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition. Her work is regularly featured in diverse media such as the Today Show, CBC Radio One, the Seattle Times, the Joe Rogan Experience, and Good Housekeeping. One of Maria Shriver's "Architects of Change" and an America Walks "Woman of the Walking Movement," Bowman consults on educational and living space design to encourage movement-rich habitats. She has worked with companies like Patagonia as well as non-profits to ensure diverse socioeconomic groups benefit from her "move more, move more of you, and move better" message. Her movement education company, Nutritious Movement, is based in Washington State, where she lives with her family.
