Katy Bowman’s
Movement
Matters explores human life from a unique, functional perspective. Maybe that
sentence does not do the collection of essays full justice, but the text is
hard to fully quantify while a pleasure to read. Bowman invokes thought,
promotes stacking, and encourages personal exploration. She wants you to
simplify life, to break down barriers, and to confront the neat little boxes we
have created in a new way. Should life be a rolling collection of allocated
time or can fitness and food and family overlap? Can one meditate while walking
with their family? How can we simplify our lives while moving or move to
simplify our lives? Can cooking be fun? Yes, she doesn’t really explore the
last topic, but when she dissects food, specifically the human/energy cost of
food, you want to know and understand.
At times Bowman discusses the need for humans to move and to
move functionally, at others she applies the same principles to food, but at
almost all times, she works to examine common issues from a unique perspective.
Broken into main topics and each thought provoking, anyone into fitness and
anyone into the human will enjoy the read.
