Kettlebell Training Essentials - The Get-Up

The Turkish Get-Up. One of my all-time favourite kettlebell training exercises.

I love the fact that this exercise incorporates so many aspects of the body. The Get-Up works your shoulders, triceps, upper back, grip, and midsection all in one.

It ticks off so many boxes from a movement standpoint.

You expose your body to a host of patterns, different shapes, and a variety of positions. All while improving muscular balance and symmetry, as you work on one arm, and one side, at a time.

This is something that is sorely lacking in today's sitting and sedentary society. With the vast majority stuck at work behind desks for hours and cooped up in offices all day long.

Now more than ever, it's important to get your body moving multi-directionally.

The Kettlebell Get-up Solves This Problem.

The movement takes you from supine (laying on your back) to standing, and then back down. All while holding a kettlebell above your head, and maintaining perfect shoulder mechanics.

Enter: The Get-up.

With a single kettlebell — and a little floor space — you can accomplish quite a lot.

One kettlebell is all you need to improve how well your body moves, and how you feel on a daily basis.

Taken from the Kettlebell Training Essentials course, is the all-encompassing exercise, The Get-Up.
