EXERCISES: TURKISH GETUP
The other day a friend of mine made one of the more creative notes I’ve seen to promote my site on Twitter for “Follow Friday.”
Fellow fitness, hockey and MMA enthusiast @m3mma (Mixed Martial Marketing) posted the following note, and it reminded me of a good old exercise I had neglected for a while.
m3mma: #ff @colintimberlake Instead of reading this he’d rather you do a few turkish get-ups. But if you can’t, you should at least follow him.
Sure enough, I had been letting the Turkish Getup gather some dust in my routine. In fact, it was pretty damn near fossilized. It also turns out that I had, only a week or two earlier, come across a good video of the Turkish Getup, thought exactly the same thing, and then promptly forgotten about it and not done any Turkish Getups until the Follow Friday incident.
It turns out that the demonstration video is by Maximum Fitness cover model and previous training inspiration Nathane Jackson, who actually has several videos demonstrating numerous exercises on his website and YouTube channel.
Kettlebells are being used in the above demonstration, but the exercise can also be done with dumbbells. Give it a try.
Good for you bro! A great exercise. I do them often in my kettlebell training. They are great for building grappling strength for standing up to base. Functional exercise, just like I like it!
