Turkish get-up: how to do it

1 of 5

Bell straight up, same knee bent

  1. Starting position

    Lie on your back with the kettlebell straight above one shoulder, the knee on that side bent and your opposite arm and leg angled out.

  2. The movement

    Rise through your elbow, hand and half-kneeling to stand with a straight arm, then reverse the same path.

Most common mistake

Don't let the kettlebell drift away from your shoulder, keep your wrist straight and your arm vertical throughout.
