The “Swiss Army knife” exercise

The original Turkish Get Ups exericse incredible as is.

But, why not explore adding other exercises into the original variation?

Doing so will bring a fresh training experience to the original Turkish Get Up, challenge the body and boost the training stimulus.

Here are few exercises we can add:

• Rows
• Squats
• Overhead pressing
• Carrying
• Horizontal pressing
• Lunges
• Power exercises (clean, snatch swing)

Upper body pulling is a movement pattern the Turkish Get Up lacks.

Adding in a few repetitions of rows once you’re in the standing position can check ✔️ that box.

Turkish Get Ups are an exercise that can truly do it all.
