Becoming a Supple Leopard

by Kelly Starrett with Glen Cordoza

Starrett's large manual on movement and mobility: positioning principles, movement categories, and hundreds of photographed mobilizations for every joint. It is a reference, not a read-through, and some claims outrun the evidence, but athletes swear by it.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Position comes first.
  2. Ten minutes of mobility daily.
  3. Pain is a signal to work on position, not just rest.

Do this first

Spend ten minutes a day on the mobilization for your tightest joint for two weeks.

Our verdict
