Becoming A Supple Leopard, High Bar Back Squat & Shoulder Press
Kelly Starrett’s New Book is a MUST Read for CrossFitters. Becoming A Supple Leopard Rules!
Do you have tightness in your body that inhibits your ability to find certain positions? Are you a Supple Leopard? If you 
are a CrossFitter, the answer is most likely YES? Kelly Starrett is the owner of SF CrossFit, and also the founder of MobilityWod.com. His new book is a lucid consolidation of 360 blog posts, and a MUST read for EVERY CrossFitter. But you can’t just sit on the couch to grok his message; you actually get to lay on the floor or any other such fun position, and try all the mobility tricks on for size.
Daily Health Post says ” With nearly two months in Amazon’s top 100 fitness bestsellers, Becoming a Supple Leopard is unique to the category in that it has garnered only five-star reviews. Written by a physical therapist, this book helps readers to understand how they can minimize pain and maximize effects of exercise with body-focused techniques. Readers call the book “a must-have.”
Sticker price is $59.95, but I found it on Amazon.com for $32. It will be the best $32 you have spent in a LONG time. Seem steep for a book right now? Just imagine the missed time in the gym and inconvenience in your life due to injury that you won’t have to endure! Buy NOW.
I have put in a request for Kelly to come to Napa and deliver his MobilityWod Seminar in our gym. We don’t yet have a confirmed date, but I know he’ll sign your book while here.
Here’s to your supple and strong body,
