Turkish Get Up

Hey everybody!

As you all know, I am bell crazy! I just wanted to share a quote with you from Mike Boyle. MB is one of the top strength and conditioning coaches in the world. He trains many professional athletes. Not just the good ones but the ones that may not make the team. He makes sure they do!

He has written books and lectured around the world. Here is what he has to say about kettlebells - specifically the Turkish Get-Up:

"If you'd have asked me a year ago I would have said the

Turkish Get-up was a gimmick. Now I think it's probably the
best total-body core exercise you can do. And that's part of the
learning process!"

"I can remember reading the early kettlebell stuff and being
decidedly unimpressed. I had a million reasons why I didn't
like it. But then I started watching my athletes get up off the
floor. Nearly every one of them did a Turkish Get-up without
even knowing it. I think it's a skill we lose as we age. Have
you ever seen an old person try to get up off the floor? It's very
difficult for them. I think it's an exercise everyone needs to be
doing."

Remember - You gotta get up to get down!

Yours in Health,

Austin
