Step by step

How to do the Kettlebell Turkish Get-Up (Lunge style)

  1. 1

    Lie on your back on the floor and press a kettlebell to the top position by extending the elbow. Bend the knee on the same side as the kettlebell.

  2. 2

    Keeping the kettlebell locked out at all times, pivot to the opposite side and use your non- working arm to assist you in driving forward to the lunge position. Using your free hand, push yourself to a seated position, then progressing to one knee.

  3. 3

    While looking up at the kettlebell, slowly stand up. Reverse the motion back to the starting position and repeat.
