Very sound, thorough and transferable content here that crosses the gender and age barriers often found with fitness books. Every high school library should have a copy of this desk reference fitness bible.

Comprehensive and detailed. This is encyclopedic coverage from before the beginning and past the end.

Kelly Starrett is the absolute ultimate authority on the body and musculature related to stretching, mobility and injury recovery. I have not seen a better book than The Supple Lepord on these areas. It's a big book and so well illustrated it's like a text book. It's in valuable resource to any

Fundamentally, this book is an organization and systemization of the material that Kelly Starrett has posted on MobilityWOD.com. It covers his axioms of human movement, applies those axioms to teaching correct form on fundamental strength exercises, and provides a set of techniques to address
I can say from years of experience that this stuff works. Without hyperbole, Starrett's techniques have been life-changing for me; I can walk to work without pain shooting down my leg and squat below parallel with good form. I've always recommended his work to people struggling with pain and stiffness, but it's pretty daunting to have to slog through two and a half years of videos to get the whole picture. I'm grateful that I can now simply recommend they buy this book.
