| Summary, Etc. |
"Did you know... - Your risk of falls and overall longevity can be measured by your foot health; - Your walking speed can predict your overall health status and risk of early death; - Increasing your walking cadence has been shown to help reduce knee, hip, and lower back pain; - The number of daily optimal steps is not 10,000 (spoiler alert: it's fewer!)? What James Nestor did for breathing, Christopher McDougall and Mark Cucuzzella did for running, and the Starretts have done for mobility, founder of Gait Happens Dr. Courtney Conley and Dr. Milica McDowell do for walking. Walking is as important to our health and longevity as sleep and proper breathing; it is the 6th vital sign. And yet we've almost engineered it out of our lives. Walk is an expert-driven, science-backed guide that not only underscores the power of movement to just about every aspect of our life, it restores walking to its rightful spot as one of the key pillars of health. With self-assessments; easy daily movement snacks to help with low back pain, foot pain, and "dead butt syndrome," and a full customizable program to enhance mobility and overall fitness, Walk gives you the keys to health and longevity-which you've been standing on all along"-- Provided by publisher.
