Exercise Description

The turkish get up builds total-body strength and stability. It connects your core, shoulders, and hips while improving mobility and coordination.

How To

1. Lie on your back with a kettlebell in your right hand, arm extended straight up. Keep your right knee bent, foot flat on the floor. 2. Roll onto your left elbow, then push up to your left hand. Keep the kettlebell stable overhead during the turkish get up movement. 3. Lift your hips and sweep your left leg under your body. You'll end up in a kneeling lunge position. 4. Stand up from the lunge, keeping the weight overhead. You're now standing with the kettlebell pressed above your head. 5. Reverse the entire turkish get up sequence to return to the starting position. Switch sides and repeat.

Form Tips

• Keep your eyes on the kettlebell throughout the entire turkish get up movement. This helps with balance and stability. • Move slowly and control each part of the movement. Speed kills good form here. • Keep your loaded shoulder packed down and back. Don't let it roll forward during the turkish get up. • Practice the movement without weight first. Master the pattern before adding load.

Common Mistakes

• Rushing through the movement instead of controlling each step. The turkish get up rewards patience and precision. • Looking away from the weight overhead. Your eyes should track the kettlebell the entire time. • Collapsing the loaded shoulder or letting the weight drift forward during the turkish get up sequence.
