How to Perform Turkish Getup
The kettlebell Turkish get-up is a full-body exercise that builds strength, stability, and coordination through a controlled sequence of movements. Performed by rising from the floor to a standing position while holding a kettlebell locked out overhead, the exercise engages the core, shoulders, hips, and legs throughout each phase. Emphasizing slow, deliberate transitions, stable joint positions, and continuous tension makes the Turkish get-up highly effective for improving mobility, balance, and overall functional strength.
