Turkish Get Up

In August I attended an FMS workshop in Boston. While there Gray Cook spoke briefly about the Turkish Get Up as a great assessment tool along with being a great corrective exercise. I was sold so I bought a DVD which came with a little manual. I finally had a chance to dig in last week. Learning this exercise is really going to be a challenge. It is best performed with a Kettlebell. The Kettlebell puts the body off balance just enough to promote complete body control through each part of the movement. Hopefully over the next few weeks I'll have a chance to practice this exercise so I can pass it along. Check out the above video and give it a try for yourself. It is a great exercise to add to your program as a corrective exercise, warm-up, even a full body strength exercise. Good luck!
