Cogeodesic flow on compact manifold has compact leaves and manifold
Let $g_{ij}$ be positive definite metric on a compact manifold $M$. Consider hamiltonian $H=sum_{ij}frac{1}{2}g_{ij}(x) p_ip_j$ with $p_iinGamma(T^star M)$. Then define $E_lambda={(x,p)in T^star Mvert H(x,p)=lambda}$
$textbf{Q:}$ $E_lambda$ is compact. How do I see this obviously? I did the following. Take any open covering of $E_lambda$ and refine it if necessary s.t. one has trivialization of $T^star M$. Then project down to $M$ and then lift up to $T^star M$ and this selects some of the open covering. Since $M$ is compact, $g_{ij}(x)$ has minimal value $g$. Then use $sum_{ij}g p_ip_jleqlambda$ to bound $p_i$ in closed set. Hence, $E_lambda$ is compact by selecting the finite open covering.

This is equivalent to showing the sphere bundle $pi:SMto M$ is compact for compact manifolds $M$, and your case is just looking at the co-sphere bundle of radius $sqrt{2lambda}$, which are equivalent via the bundle isomorphism $F:TMto T^*M$, $F(v)=2lambda g(v,cdot).$
Let ${x_j,v_j}subset SM$ be any sequence. Since $M$ is compact, by possibly passing to a subsequence there exists $xin M$ such that $x_jto x$. Let $Usubseteq M$ be a trivializing neighborhood of $x$, i.e., $pi^{-1}(U)cong Utimes S^{n-1}$. Since $x_jto xin U$, for infinitely many $j$, we have that $(x_j,v_j)in Utimes S^{n-1}$. In particular, we have infinitely many $v_j$in the compact set $S^{n-1}$. Again by possibly passing down to a further subsequence there exists some $vin S^{n-1}$ such that $v_jto v$. That is, the arbitrary sequence ${x_j,v_j}subset SM$ has an accumulation point in $SM$, thus showing $SM$ is compact.

Let $Usubseteq M$ be a trivializing neighborhood of $x$, i.e., $pi^{-1}(U)cong Utimes S^{n-1}$. Since $x_jto xin U$, for infinitely many $j$, we have that $(x_j,v_j)in Utimes S^{n-1}$. In particular, we have infinitely many $v_j$in the compact set $S^{n-1}$. Again by possibly passing down to a further subsequence there exists some $vin S^{n-1}$ such that $v_jto v$. That is, the arbitrary sequence ${x_j,v_j}subset SM$ has an accumulation point in $SM$, thus showing $SM$ is compact.
