Turkish Get-up

Steps

1. 1 Lie on your back with one leg bent and foot flat on the floor, the other leg extended. Hold a kettlebell in the hand on the same side as the bent leg, extending it straight overhead. Extend your other arm to the side for support.
2. 2 Press through your bent foot and supporting hand to sit up onto your supporting elbow, keeping the kettlebell arm locked overhead.
3. 3 Push up from your elbow to your supporting hand, maintaining the kettlebell overhead.
4. 4 Sweep your extended leg back and underneath your body, coming into a half-kneeling position with the kettlebell still locked overhead.
5. 5 Drive through your front foot to stand up into a lunge, bringing your feet together.
6. 6 Step back into a lunge and lower yourself back into the half-kneeling position.
7. 7 Place your supporting hand on the floor, sweep your leg forward, and lower yourself onto your supporting elbow.
8. 8 Lie back down to the starting position, controlling the kettlebell overhead. Switch sides and repeat.
