Great exercise for the total body that develops shoulder stability and the muscles of the core. The Get-up is broken down into a number of steps but don't let that overwhelm you.
- Use both hands to lift the kettlebell off the ground to the starting position of the floor press and return the free hand to the ground
- The wrist on the kettlebell side stays neutral
- The elbow on the kettlebell side is locked and the shoulder is packed
- The shoulder of the free arm does not shrug up
- The heel of the foot on the kettlebell side stays planted durning the low sweep, the lunge up to the standing, and the reverse of these actions
- The knee touches the floor softly on the descent into the half kneeling position
- The arm holding the kettlebell is vertical or almost vertical
- The neck is neutral for the top half of the movement, from the lunge up
- In the top position the knees are locked and the lower back does not hyperextend
