Twyla Tharp

lessons for the rest of your life

At seventy-seven, Twyla Tharp is revered not only for the dances she makes but for her astounding regime of exercise and non-stop engagement. She is famed for religiously hitting the gym each morning at daybreak, and utilizing that energy to propel her breakneck schedule as a teacher, writer, creator, and lecturer. This book grew out of the question she was asked most frequently: How do you keep working? In Twylas own words: This book is a collection of what Ive learned in the past fifty-five years: from the moment I committed to a life in dance up until today...it identifies a disease and offers a cure. That disease, simply put, is our fear of times passing and the resulting aging process. The remedy? This book in your hands. Keep It Moving is a series of no-nonsense mediations on how to live with purpose as time passes. From the details of how she stays motivated to the stages of her evolving fitness routine, Tharp models how fulfillment depends not on fortunebut on attitude, possible for anyone willing to try and keep trying. Culling anecdotes from Twylas life and the lives of other luminaries, each chapter is accompanied by a small exercise that will help anyone develop a more hopeful and energetic approach to the everyday. Twyla will tell you what the beauty-fitness-wellness industry wont: chasing youth is a losing proposition. Instead, Keep It Moving focuses you on whats here and where youre goingthe book for anyone who wishes to maintain their prime for life
