A brief tutorial for the kettlebell get-up sit-up, including a beginner progression. This exercise is a serious lesson in maintaining core tension, is good for shoulder stability and rehabilitation, and can be performed with a variety of tools, including a kettlebell, dumbbell, barbell, or medicine ball.

The get-up sit-up is also a great assistance drill for the turkish get-up, and can be worked in as an ascending or descending variation.
