Publisher's summary

A New York Times best seller

One of the world’s legendary artists and best-selling author of The Creative Habit shares her secrets - from insight to action - for harnessing vitality, finding purpose as you age, and expanding one’s possibilities over the course of a lifetime in her newest New York Times best seller Keep It Moving.

At 78, Twyla Tharp is revered not only for the dances she makes - but for her astounding regime of exercise and nonstop 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 audiobook grew out of the question she was asked most frequently: “How do you keep working?”

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 fortune - but on attitude, possible for anyone willing to try and keep trying. Culling anecdotes from Twyla’s 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 won’t: Chasing youth is a losing proposition. Instead, Keep It Moving focuses you on what’s here and where you’re going - the audiobook for anyone who wishes to maintain their prime for life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Superb book no matter your age.

Superb book. Real, witty, funny and excellent advice. The author is well read and provides insight into what we all know, but does it in a no nonsense way with so many stories to boot. Must read!

Amazing and Inspiring

This remarkable woman is one of the icons of the dance world. She is no less amazing as she ages. In fact, she is more amazing than ever with her 'shut up and dance' attitude. Who wouldn't want to be like her!!!! Love her!!!

Actionable Wisdom

The author shares her stories, experiences, wit, and wisdom in an entertaining and informative narrative. Each chapter is organized around a recommendation for taking action to improve your physical, mental, and emotional life. The author explains the science behind the recommendations without losing the audience in arcane details. Helpful for all ages, the author tells you how to keep moving through the changes of aging. I enjoyed listening to the author. The audiobook has an accompanying pdf of the exercises. I also bought the Kindle book to make it easier to review the principles taught in each lesson because I think they are that valuable.

Good for body and soul.

For brilliant inspiration, I highly recommend this insightful book. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it as I walked each morning. Rich in wisdom and humor, Ms. Tharp pushes her audience to think more broadly about what the human body is capable of learning even as it moves through time. In fact, she even made me think of time differently! Enjoy!
