Turkish Get-UpThe Turkish get-up (TGU) is one of those exercises that, if you never saw it before,probably wouldn’t strike you as a core exercise. That’s because there are so manyother things going on from head to toe. Unlike every other exercise in this chapter, theTGU improves full-body strength and mobility at the same time.HOW TO DO IT1. Lie on your back with your left knee bent to 90 degrees and the left foot flat onthe ground. Your right leg is straight, toes pointed up, and angled out slightly(see figure a). Hold a kettlebell in your left hand at arm’s length, with your rightarm flat on the ground and angled outward.2. Drive through your left heel, and prop your trunk up on your right elbow as yourright heel stays on the ground (see figure b). The left knee remains pointedupward, or the leg can shift slightly inward if you experience an impingement inthe left hip.3. Push through your right forearm to make the trunk more vertical as your left armremains straight and perpendicular to the ground. Move your right hand backbehind your body where it feels most comfortable (see figure c).4. Push through your left foot to elevate your hips as high as possible, using yourstraightened right arm for support (see figure d).5. With your hips held high, bend your right knee and place it on the ground directlybelow the kettlebell (see figure e).6. Shift your torso to vertical as your left arm remains perpendicular to the ground,and then internally rotate your right hip until the right lower leg is perpendicularto the trunk, chin tucked and eyes facing forward (see figure f).7. Stand up by pushing equally through both feet while keeping your left arm perpendicularto the ground, chin tucked and eyes facing forward (see figure g). Reversethe steps to return to the starting position and repeat for reps, then switch thekettlebell to the right hand and repeat the steps on the opposite side of the body.FULL-BODY CORE(continued)137
