This One Movement Could Change How You Age

Picking yourself up from the ground shouldn't get harder as you age. Strength & Mobility → Capability Capability → Independence At 67, I'm training not just for strength and mobility today, but for capability in the years ahead. One exercise I keep coming back to is the Get-Up. In this video, I break down the classic Get-Up into bite-sized drills that can be trained individually, or combined into a complete movement. Unlike the traditional Turkish Get-Up that's performed by pressing a single kettlebell overhead for the duration of the exercise, here I demonstrate the basic patterns needed to master the technique using just your own bodyweight. Variations let you explore the movement, build confidence, and gradually improve strength, mobility, and coordination. Whether you're looking to maintain independence, improve mobility, or simply move with more confidence, these drills and progressions will give you a practical place to start. Do you train any floor-to-stand techniques? How do you work them into your training? Let me know in the comments.
