À propos de cet audio
#1 Bestseller!
From Canadian fitness pioneer, bestselling author and PBS star Miranda Esmonde-White, the definitive Essentrics stretching and strengthening book, designed to keep your body strong, mobile and pain-free whatever your age.
Miranda Esmonde-White's fitness revolution began with a simple insight: many exercise programs, including the ones she used to teach at her own studio, actually cause injury and prematurely age the body, bulking muscles and restricting joints. Throwing out the idea of "no pain, no gain," she studied how we are actually designed to move, creating a program that stretches and strengthens all the muscles in the body in a balanced way, enhances the full range of motion of every joint, and unglues stuck connective tissue. The result is Essentrics, a groundbreaking practice of gentle movement, respecting the muscle chains and joint mobility of the body, that scientists from Harvard, Adelphi and McGill universities have validated as a way to keep us strong, flexible and fit for life, as well as providing immense benefits for brain and digestive health.
Where her previous bestsellers, Aging Backwards and Forever Painless, focused on anti-aging and pain-relief, The Movement Miracle is the Essentrics bible. In beautifully shot illustrations, twelve models who range in age from their twenties to their late sixties—all of whom have benefited from the program—demonstrate 100 sequences of gentle movements that can be combined to meet the needs of everyone from office workers to elite athletes. Another section of the book concentrates on posture, teaching us how to counteract the harmful impacts of sedentary living and too much screen time. The revolution Esmonde-White offers us all: only twenty-five minutes a day of gentle movement, following the Essentrics formula, will radically change and strengthen your body, relieve you of pain, replenish your energy and keep you young, no matter your age.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

“I’ve been doing Essentrics for over ten years. As a former dancer, I fell in love with the technique and how it made my body feel. Over the years I’ve grown to appreciate what the technique does to calm my entire nervous system. Every morning on set I do a fifteen to forty-five minute Essentrics warm up in my trailer. It helps me tune into my body, align my posture and tap into a mindful state.”—Sarah Gadon, actor, Alias Grace and True Detective
“I have been doing Essentrics two to three times a week for the past twenty years. As an athlete, I found it helped with recovery and added speed and balance to my game. It allowed me to train harder and perform better.”—Jonathon Power, world squash champion
“Miranda combined scientific principles with intuition in creating Essentrics, a workout that rebalances the full musculoskeletal system through using flexibility training to increase strength. Essentrics complements any fitness routine and offers a huge potential for health promotion and disease prevention.”—Emilia Zarco, chair of the Department of Health and Sport Sciences at Adelphi University
