Becoming a Supple Leopard by Kelly Starrett and Glen Cordoza is a comprehensive manual on movement, athletic performance, and injury prevention, focusing heavily on mobility, body mechanics, and full range of motion. The book has earned legendary status among fitness experts and podcast guests alike.
