BirthFIT Loves the Turkish Get Up

The Turkish Get Up is one of the greatest exercises to do pregnant or not. The movement stresses the shoulder in such a way that it has to operate properly and enhances proprioception throughout the glenohumeral joint. The TGU also demands attention of an individual’s core and diagonal stabilizing and strength systems. Take a look and practice with anything (shoe, water bottle, whatever you find).

400m Run
