turkish baby getupsThe Turkish Get Up is a great way to build a solid foundation of strength.

Although it can be a bit confusing at first, the get up is perfect for beginners to advanced lifters.

What are some of the benefits?

  1. It builds stability and strength throughout our bodies
  2. It is a fundamental exercise that is great for assessing one’s ability to press overhead.
  3. It will develop stability in the shoulder, through multiple planes of motion.

How To Do A Turkish Get Up With A Kettlebell

Starting Position

Lying on your back, arm locked out, eyes on the kettlebell.  Bend the knee on the same side as the kettlebell and place the opposite arm out at 45 degrees
