Get-up! Get on up!

This weeks Kettlebell Class at CrossFit Hove looked at the Turkish Get-up!  First step was the Sit-up, second step was the Transition from Sit-up to kneeling, and finally standing up from the kneeling position!

This exercise may look easy, but it is not!  Many Muscles in the body are used to stand up from prone with the Kettlebell pressed overhead.  This is a great exercise for the Muscles of the Shoulder, especially if there is a history of Shoulder problems e.g. Dislocations.  This exercise will help to strengthen the Rotator Cuff Muscles and stabilize the Shoulder Joint.



The WOD this week was!

30 Turkish Get-ups for time!

Next weeks class is Saturday 8th May at 11:00 am, check out the link for details on CrossFit Hove!
