Becoming a Supple Leopard

This book by Kelly Starrett was genuinely recommended once in the episodes we index, on Tim Ferriss. The people who vouched for it on air: Nsima Inyang. It comes up in conversations about addiction & recovery, exercise & strength, longevity & aging, meditation & mindfulness, productivity & performance. Every quote below is verbatim, attributed, and linked to the exact second it was said. Sourced expert opinion, not medical advice.

Based on the premise that dysfunctional movement patterns impede athletic performance, the author presents the construction and function of his own movement and mobility system, based on his midline stabilization and organization, one-joint rule and laws of torque movement principles, all to remedy body stiffness, prevent injuries and improve and extend athletic capabilities.

• “I learned this cue from Kelly Stretat's book, Becoming a Supple Leopard, back in 2013. Have you met Kelly?”

  Why it counts as a recommendation: “so many concepts are things that I've continued to like build my knowledge base on that have helped so much... I think everyone should own his book on becoming a supple leopard”
