Kettlebell Turkish Get Up

IntermediateKettlebell

The Turkish Get Up is a slow, full-body movement where you go from lying on the floor to standing while keeping a kettlebell pressed overhead the whole time. It demands shoulder stability, core control, and coordination through the legs and hips as you move through each position. It's a top-tier drill for functional strength and mobility.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie on your back, press a kettlebell up over your shoulder with one arm, and bend that same-side knee with the foot flat.

  2. 2

    Extend your other arm out along the floor at about a 45-degree angle for support.

  3. 3

    Roll onto your forearm, then your hand, and post up to a seated position, keeping the bell locked overhead.

  4. 4

    Lift your hips, sweep your straight leg back underneath you into a half-kneeling position.

  5. 5

    Rise to standing with the bell still overhead, then carefully reverse each step back to the floor.
