Turkish Get-Up

The Turkish get-up (TGU) is an outstanding exercise that develops strength, flexibility, and stability throughout the entire body. It has especially proven itself as an excellent prehabilitation and rehabilitation exercise for the shoulders.

You can perform this exercise with a kettle bell, a dumbbell, a weight plate, and even an odd object like a heavy backpack or anything else you can get a grip on!

Start with light weight and perfect the technique.  Watch these videos from Jeff Martone, a senior kettle bell instructor.
