Stephan's Training Tip of the Day: Turkish Get-up

Great training tip from Stephan:

With less than 100 days to go we should all be cranking up on fitness.  If you have not been at it with this trip in mind, now is the time.  I will be sharing some ideas and tips, but I know that this group is already well versed in prepping for ski season.  Given that, feel free to share your favorite exercises.

This is my current favorite:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dx2rM1FSgE

The Turkish get up is a fantastic (near) full body workout as it involves a lot of muscle groups.  Watch it carefully, and break it down into finite steps.  I recommend watching this great demo and discussion as well:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM2oTXgnDRU

Follow her recommendation (at about the 3 minute mark) to practice the first steps for some time until you are certain you have "got it down" appropriately.  I did that for several weeks before adding the remainder of the moves--technique is super critical.  I also recommend doing this without weight until you are well versed in the movements; then you can begin to add weight (slowly).  If you do not have access to kettle bells, no biggie, a dumb bell will work.
