How to do a turkish get up

  1. Hold the kettlebell overhead with arm fully extended and locked out
  2. Keep your core engaged and maintain an upright torso throughout the movement
  3. Step one foot back into a deep lunge position, lowering the back knee toward the ground
  4. Keep the kettlebell stable overhead while in the lunge position
  5. Push through the front heel to return to the starting standing position
  6. Maintain control of the weight throughout the entire movement

Form tips

  • Keep the overhead arm locked and stable to prevent the kettlebell from falling
  • Maintain proper lunge form with front knee tracking over the ankle
  • Engage your core throughout to protect your lower back and stabilize the overhead load
  • Start with lighter weight to master the coordination before progressing
  • Keep your eyes forward and avoid looking up at the kettlebell
