- To perform the Turkish get-up, begin by lying on your back with a kettlebell or dumbbell in one hand and that arm extended straight up. Ensure your opposite arm is out at a 45-degree angle and pressed to the floor. Your foot on the same side as the weight is flat on the ground. This stable base is crucial for maintaining balance as you move through the get-up. As you transition from one position to the next, break the movement into clear, controlled segments. Keep your eyes on the weight throughout the exercise to enhance stability and ensure proper alignment. Focus on tightening your core muscles in every phase of the movement. A strong core not only supports your lower back but also helps facilitate smoother transitions and greater control throughout the exercise. Repeat the get-up with the weight in the other hand.

- Rolling the chest can be tricky compared to other parts of the body, and the movements will be much smaller. In fact, you might not do much rolling at all. Instead, you will focus on applying pressure to the center of the muscle. Once you find a tender spot, relax the muscle and breathe into the pressure. This generally takes about 30-60 seconds. At that point, you can add small rolling motions.
