Turkish get up or pick up or whatever it's called..

What a trek!

I'm learning how to do this, well actually just the first phase and thank goodness I'm not in an actual gym practising because I look like a twonk lying on the floor with a shoe balanced on my fist trying to figure out what my next move will be.

No point to this post really buy fair play to all if you who have mastered this move and with actual weights!

I am hoping that I master it before I see the trainer on Monday !

It's a deceivingly difficult lift. I've seen plenty of guys, who regular lift weights, attempt to do this and fail badly - mainly because they grossly overestimated the weight they could lift.

I suppose really it goes to show how important it is to learn how to do something properly first. When I first started working out at home it was all myself. Now I don't think it made my back any worse but I've picked up bad habits which nobody corrected me on because there was nobody to correct me. There really is a lot of thinking and paying attention to your body really with these moves.
