Turkish Get Ups & Kettlebell Sport or Bodyweight

Thursday’s Workout includes some time to practice a new (or revisited) total body strength movement!

Turkish Get-Ups are one of the most complete strength exercises that work the entire body including balance, range of motion and strength.  You can use a Kettlebell, Dumbell or a Yoga Block for Beginners.  Start with part of the exercise and practice small sections or try the whole sequence a few times alternating sides.  Milkman did an excellent video tutorial you can view below!

KETTLEBELL SPORT OR BODYWEIGHT STRENGTH WORKOUT

1 Minutes ON / 1 Minutes Rest or Active Recovery 

5 Sets at Each Exercise

  1. Cleans, Snatches, Swings or Step-Ups
  2. Push-Press, Jerks or Push-Ups
  3. Long Cycle or Cardio Choice

It’s always good to stretch after class, but often there is a time crunch and it’s difficult to focus!  Tomorrow we will focus on stretching ONE muscle group or chain used during the workout (hint: HAMSTRINGS).  It will be longer hold for about 2 minute each side.  Notice how you feel before vs. after the longer passive stretch!
