Mastering the Kettlebell Turkish Get-Up and Roll to Post

Kettlebells offer a unique way to train strength, coordination, and body awareness—and few exercises highlight that better than the Turkish Get-Up and Roll to Post. In this in-depth tutorial, Coach Dylan walks you through both moves with clear, practical coaching cues.

Why These Moves Matter

The Turkish Get-Up is a total-body movement that improves mobility, core control, and shoulder stability. It can be complex at first—but breaking it down makes it more approachable and more effective. That’s where the Roll to Post comes in.

Step-by-Step with Coach Dylan

Dylan starts by demonstrating the Roll to Post—the bottom half of the Get-Up. He emphasizes starting without weight to nail the mechanics:

• Eyes on the kettlebell at all times

• Stacked joints: wrist over elbow over shoulder

• Roll to your elbow, not sit-up style

• Push to your hand, bridge your hips, and return under control

  
  

Then, he builds into the full Turkish Get-Up:

• Bridge and sweep the leg underneath to a kneeling position

• Transition to standing with stability

• Reverse the movement back to the floor—avoiding common mistakes like sitting back on the heel

These tips aren’t just technical—they’re game-changers for anyone looking to perform these moves safely and effectively, especially under load.
