Lesson 1: The “Naked” Get Up
Before we pick up a kettlebell, we have to make sure that we understand each step of the Get Up (there are 14 of them).
So before we take on external resistance, we have to make sure that we can handle our own bodyweight.
Lesson 2: The Get Up Proper
When you have a weight overhead, the thing to remember is that wherever your eyes go, the kettlebell will go.
So it’s critical to your success (and safety) to keep your eyes fixed on the KB as you perform the Get Up. The only time that this isn’t necessary is when you’re vertically upright during the last 2 steps of the Get Up.
