Kettlebell Turkish Get Ups

A full-body kettlebell exercise that moves from lying to standing while holding the weight locked out overhead, training total-body strength, stability, and mobility.

How to do it

1. Lie on your back holding a kettlebell pressed overhead in one hand.
2. Bend the knee on the same side and plant the foot flat.
3. Roll up onto your opposite elbow, then to your hand.
4. Drive your hips up and sweep your straight leg back into a lunge.
5. Stand up fully while keeping the kettlebell locked out overhead.
6. Reverse the sequence to return to the start.

Tips

• Keep your eyes on the kettlebell until you are standing, then look forward.
• Move slowly through each step — the get-up is a sequence, not one motion.
