Hip Openers for a Strong and Healthy Turkish Get Up

Are your hips tight? This may be one of your limiting factors to a solid and strong Get Up.

Try these two exercises as shown in the video below with a super light bell. This will help you open up your hips, ankles, inner thighs, all while creating a smooth overhead lockout. If you’re just starting out you can do this with a super light bell or no bell at all.

Before doing a full Get Up warm up with this for 2 full rounds.

Kneeling Lunge Pumps 5 es Kneeling Lunge Windmills 5 es Let me know if your Get Up feels better after these 2 quick focus drills. 🔑 Make sure the front heel stays down for the lunge pumps and windmills 🔑 Have the back toes curled underneath for full ground stability and foot work. 🔑 Ideally have your heel and back ankle aligned for the kneeling windmills. This doesn’t have to be perfect. Just close to how I’m demonstrating. It will get closer as your hips open. Enjoy and let me know how you all do!

What Doctor's don't tell you after a C-section

I have now been through 2 C-sections since writing this blog post and thankfully I've recovered beautifully from both with the appropriate progressions. For those who are new and are just finding me. WELCOME! First let me say I did NOT want a C-section. I did everything in my power to avoid the first and even the second. I'm a kettlebell fitness strength and conditioning coach who relies on her body to share, teach, educate, and I was under the impression that having to give birth via C-section would and could destroy my body and career. Boy was I wrong! If you're feeing the same way, start by reading this article I wrote many years ago that still applies today! Many people have asked and here is part of my experience.
