The Art of the Turkish Get-Up
Designed to test your mind and body, the Turkish Get Up(TGU) is a movement complex (or complex movement!) that combines several familiar movements into one all encompassing challenge that will leave you fatigued but somewhat unsure as to which muscles you used. The reason for the confusion comes primarily from the fact that you used so many all at once.
Blast your abs (all of them), back, legs, shoulders, glutes on the way up and down. Challenge your focus, balance and strength. Does this exercise do it all? Try it and see for yourself. There are several versions of TGU’s out there and other examples on the web but we’ve enclosed 2 “How To” Videos here that break the TGU down into its component parts so you can add this great exercise safely to your workouts.
