ACE CERTIFIED | Master the Turkish Get-up

The Turkish get-up looks deceptively simple, and yet it is an incredibly functional, total-body exercise requiring upper-body strength and shoulder stability to keep the weight overhead, as well as a strong core, hips and glutes to lift your body up off the floor while maintaining a tall spine. In this video and accompanying article, ACE Pro Pete McCall highlights the benefits of the Turkish get-up and provides step-by-step instructions and a video demonstration to help you and your clients master this challenging yet highly effective exercise. Be sure to check out the full article in the March 2025 issue of CERTIFIED, and keep an eye out for more installments of this ACE Do It Better series. https://www.acefitness.org/continuing-education/certified/march-2025/8824/the-ace-do-it-better-series-the-turkish-get-up/
