Move Your DNA with Katy Bowman Katy Bowman

There are activity trackers that measure your steps, mileage, or jolts of your entire body, but is this good enough? Biomechanist Katy Bowman weighs in on a new non-digital, non-analog activity tracker—a chart!—that helps you become better aware of how your activities are moving not only your whole body, but how they move each part of it.

In this show, biomechanist and author, Katy Bowman introduces her new book on kid and family movement, Grow Wild, with some publishing industry dialogue on what makes a coffee table book. She also answers an important gait question while on foot.

This program covers a lot—heel strike and hip strength, footwear to anatomy. A great listen for laypersons and professionals alike!
