The book tells the story of how we never evolved to exercise - to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health. Using his own research and experiences throughout the world, the author recounts how and why humans evolved to walk, run, dig, and do other necessary and rewarding physical activities while avoiding needless exertion. Drawing on insights from biology and anthropology, the author suggests how we can make exercise more enjoyable, rather that shaming and blaming people for avoiding it

It describes A MIRACLE DIAMOND, an instant slouch-to-stretchposture reminder that our muscles can remember! It includes a composite of sound advice relating to factors that are within our control and influence our achieving a healthy and long life. It also includes wisdom that can make a positive impact on our lives. The format of the book is easily readable and many illustrations help to make the text more cognitive. Imagery is used throughout the book to enhance better understanding of some of the text. The book focuses on three of the most critical elements that help us to live well and live longer; attitude, lifestyle and the ability to relax tension when we are under stress. The first chapter contains an overview of all elements and levels of fitness such as diet, exercise and stress management. Explains how and why we need to include in an exercise regime, specific techniques that will keep our heart strong, muscles toned and spine flexible. We can do this at home and can fit comfortably into our daily lifestyle. The information is basic, simplified and appropriate for the average readers' needs and skills. It explains why physical and mental activities influence longevity and why, as we age, we need to stretch and tone muscles that will help us to maintain balance, flexibility and agility so that we can remain active and self-reliant, even into our senior years. Spine alignment, or posture, is the theme of the second chapter called The Miracle Exercise. This chapter is what makes this book so unique. The author explains and illustrates why, without proper posture, we can't be physically fit, as it influences our health and fitness level and every move we make. Since we all have a problem focusing on our posture; remembering to sit and stand tall without slouching; in this chapter the reader will learn how and why one amazing image, called the miracle diamond will do it for us! The image describes and explains the one simple exercise, based on the principles of Yoga and Pilates that can not only eliminate slouching, but strengthen core muscles and align the spine. The Miracle Exercise image page can be cut apart and posted in places should as the car, bathroom mirror or computer as a posture-reminder. Within weeks, as posture improves, the result gained will be increased energy, vitality and flexibility. It will prove to be a gift that keeps on giving. The third chapter, called Shower Power, illustrates how the readers can include as many as eighteen simple but powerful stretching exercises while showering or after a shower with a towel. Each exercise is illustrated and can be even more effective when rhythmic breathing is included. It demonstrates how, when muscles are warm and resilient we can relax, realign and revitalize our body, preparing it for the day's activities. The book includes two meditation exercises that can be done lying down or sitting in a chair. As deep rhythmic breathing is not only used in meditation but makes every stretching exercise more powerful, the author uses imagery to describe how to deep breathe as an exercise. This book was written to help the reader understand that it's what we do consistently, as part of our lifestyle, that is the secret to successfully becoming fit and able to live a full and active life."

A manual for understanding the anatomical and emotional components of posture in order to heal chronic pain • Contains self-help exercises and ergonomics information to help correct unhealthy movement patterns • Teaches how to adopt suitable posture in the modern sedentary world Many people cause their own back and body pain through their everyday bad postural and movement habits. Many sense that their poor posture is probably the root of the problem, but they are unable to change long-standing habits. In The New Rules of Posture, Mary Bond approaches postural changes from the inside out. She explains that healthy posture comes from a new sense we can learn to feel, not by training our muscles into an ideal shape. Drawing from 35 years of helping people improve their bodies, she shows how habitual movement patterns and emotional factors lead to unhealthy posture. She contends that posture is the physical action we take to orient ourselves in relation to situations, emotions, and people; in order to improve our posture, we need to examine both our physical postural traits and the self-expression that underlies the way we sit, stand, and move. The way we walk, she says, is our body’s signature. Bond identifies the key anatomical features that impact alignment, particularly in light of our modern sedentary lives, and proposes six zones that help create postural changes: the pelvic floor, the breathing muscles, the abdomen, the hands, the feet, and the head. She offers self-help exercises that enable healthy function in each zone as well as information on basic ergonomics and case histories to inspire us to think about our own habitual movements. This book is a resource for Pilates, yoga, and dance instructors as well as healthcare professionals in educating people about postural self-care so they can relieve chronic pain and enjoy all life activities with greater ease.
