On Wednesday, I was experiencing a bit of soreness from Tuesday’s workout, so I was glad that my planned training involved some Turkish get-ups. Generally speaking, after doing about 5-8 minutes of TGU’s, I feel great the next day: loose, mobile, and pain-free. Get-ups done well are really demanding. It takes concentration and stamina to keep the bell locked out overhead and to maintain core stability throughout the rep. So the heart pounds, the shoulders and core tremble and it is effective for active recovery, strength building and fat loss. Just what the doctor ordered.
Workout:
7 minutes of Turkish Get-ups (53# KB)
5×20 swings (53# KB)
That’s seven minutes of Turkish get-ups, alternating left and right every rep. I followed that with 100 swings (5 rounds, 20 reps). That was it. Nice and easy, and still another workout I could do from my home office.
