Master The Turkish Get Up For Essential Fitness & Longevity
Feb 23, 2025The ability to get up off the ground and move is a fundamental human movement, essential to our survival and longevity.
Studies show that the ease with which you can rise from the ground directly correlates to your overall health and lifespan—the fewer limbs you need and the smoother the movement, the better your long-term mobility and vitality.
The beauty of the Turkish Get-Up lies in its ability to engage multiple movement patterns and muscle chains simultaneously, making it one of the most effective exercises for building strength and mobility.
This exercise strengthens the core, shoulders, and legs while also enhancing thoracic spine, hip, and shoulder mobility with every repetition.
It’s an incredibly efficient, full-body movement that can be performed anywhere with various types of resistance, though the kettlebell remains the optimal tool for loading the Get-Up.
In today’s video, Coach Mark Wildman breaks down the most common Turkish Get-Up mistakes and how to fix them—helping you build a stronger, more resilient body for life.
