Turkish Sit Up
Exercise Overview
The Turkish Sit Up exercise is a kettlebell exercise that will challenge your core endurance, shoulder stability, overall co-ordination. This exercise can be used as a warm up using lighter weights, or can be an active part of your workout if using heavier weights or if going for more repetitions. There are a few phases with this exercise. Arm Extension - Extend the arm so that the elbow is straight and the wrist and elbow are stacked directly in line with your shoulder. Elbow Support - While keeping your arm completely vertical to the floor prop your body up on your support arm’s elbow. Hand Support - Maintain eye contact with the kettlebell and prop your body up to support yourself with your hand. At this point you will need to reverse the motion to get back to starting position.
