Technique
How to do the Kettlebell Turkish Get Up
- Lie on your back holding a kettlebell in your right hand with your arm extended straight above your chest. Bend your right knee with your foot flat on the floor, and place your left arm and left leg out at a 45-degree angle.
- Keeping your eyes on the kettlebell, roll onto your left elbow, then push up onto your left hand, lifting your torso off the floor.
- Lift your hips off the floor, sweep your left leg back and under you into a kneeling position, then straighten your torso upright.
- Stand up from the kneeling lunge position with the kettlebell still locked out overhead, then reverse each step to return to lying on the floor. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Keep your eyes on the kettlebell for the entire movement to help maintain balance and arm position.
- Keep the kettlebell arm fully locked out and vertical at every stage.
- Move slowly and deliberately through each position; this is a control exercise, not a speed exercise.
- Master the movement with no weight or a light kettlebell before progressing to heavier loads.
