Play as if Your Life Depends on It: Functional Exercise and Living for Homo Sapiens

Play as if Your Life Depends on It is an innovative and comprehensive look at human physical fitness and health. The orientation is primal, practical, and playful. It’s primal because it connects us with our hunting and gathering origins. Practical, because it teaches us how to integrate movement into our daily lives and train for the way we actually live. Playful, in the way that it creates new games and looks for humor at every opportunity. This book offers a perspective that is both wide-ranging and powerful. You'll gain a new orientation toward fitness as you develop a renewed enthusiasm for movement and your body.
