New Book: SQUAT YOURSELF FIT!
The NIM Solution for Lifelong Mobility, Strength, and Pain-Free Movement
Book Cover Text:
The squat, followed by sitting down from it onto the floor, may be the most important exercise in the world. It shapes the start of a healthy, active life for all young children and is the key to lifelong mobility, strength, and pain-free movement. When we begin school, we shift from floor sitter to chair sitter, causing the musculoskeletal system to lose its once perfect biomechanics. Yet it is never too late to relearn the deep squat. With NIM (Natural Intelligent Movement), Christiane Figura helps everyone “get moving again through the squat,” no matter how limited the body’s mobility may already be. As a personal coach, she meets athletic beginners, older adults, young mothers, office workers, pain patients, and high-performance athletes exactly where things “get stuck,” and lays the foundation for moving through life fit and free from pain.
The hardcover book will include over 80 videos (QR codes) with embedded film material, as well as 270 pages and 660 illustrations, and will cost €36.90. It is available for pre-order now from Vindobona Verlag, office@vindobonaverlag.com and through bookstores, and on all online platforms.
