Why You’re Probably Doing the Turkish Get-Up Wrong (and Why It Matters)
The Turkish Get-Up isn’t just some trendy exercise that looks cool with a kettlebell overhead—it’s one of the most misunderstood movements in strength training. At Fitness Lying Down in La Crosse, Wisconsin, we’ve helped clients reframe how they approach this powerful drill—not to show off, but to build true core strength, mobility, and functional stability from the ground up.
In our latest Strong Brew podcast episode, we dive into the *why* behind the Turkish Get-Up. Too many people rush through it, count reps like it’s a race, or skip it altogether because it seems too complicated. But done well? This movement tells us everything we need to know about your gait, posture, movement mechanics, and overall stability.
Watch this episode and discover:
- Why the Get-Up is more than just a fancy kettlebell trick
- What your body is trying to tell you during each phase of the movement
- How slowing down can actually speed up your strength progress
