Tukish Get Up
What is a Turkish Get Up?
It sounds like something you would dress up as for Halloween but that is not the case 
You may have not seen this exercise before.
You may have seen someone doing this in the gym and thought to yourself “What the heck is that?”
A Turkish Get Up is a FULL BODY Exercise! It has many benefits but seems to have gotten lost in today’s “Exercise by body part” training. Which is a big mistake!
Everyone can benefit by adding these into your training routine!

Rob was wondering what type of pre-workout suppliment do you use or could recamend.
Hi Mike
I personally like Jack3d, VasoCharge, NOXplode, SuperPump. They are all good just try a few and see what ones you like!
I personally have a love-hate relationship with the Turkish Getup. OMG. It hurts so good! I learned about it from my friend Lorna Kleidman in her book Body Sculpting with Kettlebells for Women.
Kettlebells RULE!
i think its a good exercise it incorporates both weightlifting and cardio thats gonna give u a burn lol
Great video Rob. Just wondering if you have to do it with both arms, or if the one arm is necessary. Thanks!
Hi Nick
Use both. I only did a quick demonstration as that was the day my back started to flare up. So i only did it quickly.’
Use both sides, one side you will find more challenging. Id suggest using your weaker side FIRST.
This is a fantastic exercise, really makes you work! Another variation i’ve done is with with a sandbag on your shoulder. If you’ve not tried either, I’d really recomend that you give it a try!
