In Becoming a Supple Leopard, Dr. Kelly Starrett shares his revolutionary approach to mobility and maintenance of the human body and teaches you how to hack your own movement, allowing you to live a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Frustrated because you can’t perform a certain movement correctly due to range of motion restrictions? Breaking the body down into 14 distinct areas, Starrett demonstrates hundreds of mobilization techniques that will help you resolve restrictions and reclaim your mobility. Unsure how to put it all together into a program that addresses your individual needs? This updated edition lays out dozens of prescriptions that allow you to hone in on a specific limitation, a nagging injury, or an exercise fault that you just can’t seem to get right.

A whole section is missing in this book.
I just received this book and went to work researching and soon found a whole section missing and two partial sections missing; sections A1, A2 and A3; pages 289 to 320. The book physically looks complete. But there are pages within the book that refer to the missing pages and those are the pages I wanted to look at. Considering the cost of this book it's not acceptable.Update #1: I sent the publisher an email and got a replied on the same Sunday asking for my mailing address to send me a replacement copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I read about body and exercise
Reviewed in Canada on May 1, 2024

I read the book and tried the exercises. I am a very old martial arts practitioner and found relief in many exercises. It is the best practical book I have read in years. I use the teachings every day, such as how to squat to pick something up on the floor. I improved my flexibility and healed some wrist and back pain. It does not replace your doctor, however. It helped me a lot.

I liked the book very much, it contains a lot of useful knowledge. I came across this book actually in another, but the author from Convict Conditioning series said he doesn't receive any money discussing other books of value. I could be wrong as I read many books for wellness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Relief from chronic back pain
Reviewed in Canada on April 10, 2021
Verified Purchase
Who knew that my chronic back pain was because of my tight ass! And that is not a compliment to myself. I woke up this morning after working on my glutes last night to a nearly pain free and full range of motion lower back. I am stupefied at how much of an improvement I have already displayed. Don't get me wrong, getting into those tricky spots and working them out have me contorting my face into the most gruesome features, but definitely worth it! This book is worth every penny, especially now when getting to a RMT, chiropractor or osteopath difficult do to the rotating lockdowns. Treat yourself and get this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh I want to be a supple leopard
Reviewed in Canada on February 20, 2018
Verified Purchase
Quality is top notch. I just need to understand this stuff more. I wish (and perhaps they do) you could simply buy a “kit” of sorts that had everything. Perhaps a poor mans kit where the stuff doesn’t have to be all super branded and costly. I am sure a quick internet search will help. Otherwise this is laid out nicely. Problem body part? Just go to that chapter and do the things recommended. The first chunk of the book is CrossFit - ish. This was recommended by some jiu jitsu peeps and I see why. We are always messing ourselves up. And this book relates to that. Even the strength stuff for CrossFit is actually sensible to build jits strength.

5.0 out of 5 stars The bible of mobility/stretching!
Reviewed in Canada on January 22, 2019
Verified Purchase
This book is not cheap, but amazing and worth every penny. Lots of people start lifting heavy weights and doing exercises when their muscles are too tight. This will just lead to injury! This book is widely considered one of the best in fixing your posture and determining which muscles need working on. It has tons of advise on how to self diagnose and has many exercises on how you can work on it. I actually went to a physiotherapist for a second opinion and everything checked out, some of the exercises she recommended were the same ones in the book too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive guide to movement wellness for the serious minded
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023
Verified Purchase
This is an encyclopedic guide to movement wellness. A huge heavy book with lots of picture and how-to information that will guide the dedicated to wellness from a large variety of impairments to full motion. Kelly has done a magnificent job of assembling this information and has supplemented it with a full set of videos on YT. If you are SERIOUS about remedying your movement faults, optimizing your workout routine or addressing those chronic pains look no further. Be prepared, though, to spend a fair amount of quality time with this guide in order to incorporate it into your life.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 2023
Verified Purchase
Excellent book. If you're interested in improving your mobilty, to get rid of pain or prevent getting injured, this is the book to read. So much to learn from this book. Pictures are thorough and easy to follow. Overall the book is easy to read if you've done, some terms might be new if you're new to myofascia release, which basically means unknotting. But you can always Google things for info.
The ideas from the first 3 chapters are interesting, i.e starting with improving your core. Myofascia release on the core wasn't something I didn't know how to do and how important it was, but makes a big difference.
PrecisionMovement by Eric Wong has excellent courses and is easier to follow them reading the book. But I think having both available are all you need to build or maintain good mobility.
