Her work has been featured in diverse media such as the Today Show, CBC Radio One, the Seattle Times, NPR, the Joe Rogan Experience, and Good Housekeeping.

One of Maria Shriver's Architects of Change and an America Walks Woman of the Walking Movement, Bowman consults on educational and living space design to encourage movement-rich habitats. She has worked with companies like Patagonia, Nike, and Google as well as a wide range of non-profits and other communities to create greater access to her move more, move more body parts, move more for what you need message.

Her movement education company, Nutritious Movement, is based in Washington State, where she lives with her family.

Reviews

"Dynamic Aging: Simple Exercises for Whole-Body Mobility will prove to be an enduringly necessary, valued, and popular addition to personal, family, and community library Health & Medicine collections in general, and physical mobility supplemental studies lists in particular."―Midwest Book Review


"We know that exercise is key for goldeners, but in Dynamic Aging, Bowman and her impressive co-authors go one step further. They show how movement, not just exercise, is key to living dynamically, well into your seventh, eighth, and ninth decades. Essential reading for both goldeners and the fitness professionals that work with them." --Sandy Todd Webster, Editor in Chief, IDEA Fitness Journal


"Aging is not about age--poor movement habits age and derail us. Our vitality is never wholly lost and can be regained by coaching joints and muscles toward their ability to function optimally."--Michele Olson, PhD, The Exercise Doctor, Professor of Exercise Physiology and a Fellow of the ACSM


"Although Dynamic Aging is aimed at readers ages 50 and above, it can be helpful to anyone who wishes to improve their balance and mobility. There is no magic wand here―effort is required―but Bowman and the Goldeners demonstrate how to incorporate these exercises into your everyday life. What a gift to be able to restore movement you thought you had lost for good!"―Coast Weekend

Dynamic Aging makes it clear it's never too late to start moving BETTER. This
easy-to-understand book is sure to benefit many who may have thought
their days of moving with ease have passed."--Tamilee Webb, MA, star of BUNS OF STEEL(TM) and author of The Original Rubber Band Workout


"Dynamic Aging shifts the conversation from exercising to moving. Her goldener coauthors are living proof this works, no matter when one starts. Aging is not a choice. How we age is!"

--Kathy Smith, fitness instructor and bestselling author of Moving Through Menopause
