The Turkish Getup is the exercise of the month for July. While some of you really like the getup others aren't quite as enthralled. First of all, let's identify the benefits of the getup:
- Improved shoulder stability (especially in the low traps and rotator cuff)
- Improved thoracic spine extension
- Improved core strength/stability
- Improved hip mobility in multiple planes
- Improved hip extension
- Body awareness and proprioception
Bryce has discovered an excellent website that provides detailed steps for the Turkish Getup with motivating pictures, muscles used for each step and good entertainment value on the descriptors.
