Kettlebell Turkish Get-Up

Set-up

• Lie on your back holding a kettlebell straight above your shoulder with one arm, the same-side knee bent and foot flat.
• Place your other arm and leg out on the floor at about 45°.

How to do it

1. Roll onto your free elbow, then push up onto your hand, keeping the kettlebell arm straight.
2. Lift your hips, sweep your straight leg back under you and kneel on it.
3. Raise your torso upright, then stand up from the lunge position.
4. Reverse each step slowly to return to the floor.

Coaching cues

• Keep your eyes on the kettlebell for the whole movement.
• Keep the kettlebell arm locked and vertical.

Common mistakes

• Bending the kettlebell arm.
• Rushing between positions.

Safety

• Learn every step with no weight, or with a shoe balanced on your fist, before using a kettlebell.
