Born To Walk: The Broken Promises of the Running Boom, and How to Slow Down and Get Healthy--One Ste

"The romanticized notion that humans are 'born to run' has buoyed the so-called running boom of the past 50 years: well-intentioned fitness enthusiasts lacing up their cushioned shoes and plodding down roads and trails in pursuit of the runner high, a trim physique, and the fountain of youth. Unfortunately, born to run is a big, fat ruse—a marketing gimmick and a gross misappropriation of evolutionary biology insights about our Homo sapiens genetic attributes for endurance. While any movement away from a sedentary-dominant lifestyle is laudable, the truth is that humans are actually born to walk, not run. For the vast majority of enthusiasts, running—even slow-paced jogging—is far too physically, metabolically, and hormonally stressful to promote health, weight loss, or longevity. Alas, the elevated, heavily cushioned modern running shoe enables ill-adapted people to run with poor technique, increased impact trauma, and a truly embarrassing rate of chronic overuse injuries. Born To Walk will help reshape fitness culture to reject flawed and dated 'no pain, no gain' ideals, and replace them with a simple, accessible, sustainable program to increase general everyday movement, improve aerobic conditioning the right way, avoid the risks of injury and burnout associated with running, and promote a healthy, happy, energetic, long life–one step at a time. You'll learn: - How our genetic endurance gifts are buried under excess fat, insufficient activity, weak musculature, and dysfunctional feet - How the running boom was enabled by the heavily cushioned shoe, which enabled poorly adapted people to run - How elevated, cushioned shoes are the driving cause of overuse injuries - How running does not help you lose excess body fat - How running can promote the accumulation of health-destructive abdominal fat - How the struggle & suffer ethos of modern running culture can promote an unhealthy obsession"
