Chris Lewit: Slow Fitness for a Fast World, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Blending current research in health, psychology, and behavioral science, Slow Fitness for a Fast World demonstrates how steady, enjoyable motion helps keep the body young and the mind calm.

In a culture obsessed with optimization and intensity, Slow Fitness for a Fast World offers a radical yet refreshing idea: the fastest path to lifelong vitality may in fact be to slow down.

Slow Fitness for a Fast World also presents a sustainable, rhythm-based approach to movement that people can truly maintain.

Blending current research in health, psychology, and behavioral science, the book demonstrates how steady, enjoyable motion helps keep the body young and the mind calm. It challenges high-intensity culture with an evidence-based, compassionate alternative that real people can actually sustain. Where traditional fitness often demands perfection and pressure, Slow Fitness invites readers to rediscover movement as rhythm, play, and self-care. Built on awareness instead of willpower---and design instead of discipline---it draws from the latest findings in kinesiology, neuroscience, and behavioral psychology to demonstrate how small, joyful daily motion outperforms sporadic intensity in nearly every domain: metabolism, mood, longevity, and long-term adherence.

The book presents a central message: movement isn't a workout---it's a way of being, and it offers simple, science-backed practices that help people naturally weave movement into their daily lives for better health and long-term well-being.
