Turkish Get-Up
The Turkish get-up is a multi-step movement that transitions from lying on the floor to standing while holding a weight overhead. It builds total-body stability, mobility, and coordination.
How to Perform
Lie on your back holding a kettlebell or dumbbell overhead with one arm fully extended.
Roll onto your side and use your free arm to push yourself up to a seated position.
Sweep your back leg under you into a half-kneeling position.
Stand up while keeping the weight locked out overhead.
Reverse the entire sequence to return to the floor.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Losing eye contact with the weight overhead.
Rushing through the movement instead of controlling each step.
Bending the overhead arm.
