The Dumbbell Turkish Get-Up

The Turkish get-up tests and advances the margins of our capacity to stand from the ground by adding a single-arm load. Coordination, balance, flexibility, and strength are all challenged with the practice of this movement. Move slowly and deliberately at first until the positions become familiar. Then, strive to perform the movement smoothly with a fluid transition between each position.

I am going to eat a Turkish Kebob this weekend and start doing this exercise next week.

I've only seen people in videos doing this with the weight in the right hand. Wouldn't you need to switch sides each time, in order to work both sides of the body evenly?

I'm a Trukish guy and I want to ask a question. Why the name is Turkish get up :)

[pascalelks]

is it normal to feel it at your toes when your going into a lunge?

This exercise looks like it's easier/more comfortable to perform with a dumbbell than a kettlebell, because you don't have it leaning against your forearm

[jamiegothard]

When I do it I just refuse to use my other arm. Is that bad? I basically lay on my back and stand without using my arm and then switch

[Fuzigish]

Why do you do this exercise? What’s it good for?

[DanielSchander]

Really not much right technique there.
