"Kettlebells From the Ground Up is 'an inch wide and a mile deep' exploration of one of the most important exercises anyone can do. The Turkish Get-Up, as taught by Cook, Jones, and Cheng, offers a wealth of benefits: identifying the problems with your movement, correcting them, teaching you to move well, to love to move. I am hard pressed to find a sport or activity which would not benefit from this one of a kind product. Yes, it will even make your bench press go up!"

—Pavel Tsatsouline, the author of Enter the Kettlebell!

Can one exercise sequence do it all? Can one exercise provide insight into how you move? Could one exercise be the key to achieving a balanced and strong body?

Well, according to the two of the most highly regarded "Engineers of Movement Mastery", Gray Cook and Brett Jones, the answer is a resounding Yes!

When past Super Bowl champion teams have wanted to ensure their athletes are moving at full potential, Gray Cook has been their go-to guy. When Pavel and Dragon Door wanted similar results with their certified RKC instructors, they invited Gray Cook and Brett Jones to design the CK-FMS certification program to fill that need.

Turns out, one of the absolute cornerstones, one of the greatest success breakthroughs Gray and Brett contributed was an astonishingly thorough re-engineering of the revered Turkish Get-Up.

Although the Turkish Get-Up has always been a staple, core exercise taught at the RKC, Gray and Jones consider it a vastly under-appreciated and under-used method. A fundamental drill, as important to high-level performance as the classic kettlebell Swing.

So Gray and Brett, with additional masterly contributions from Dr. Mark Cheng, have created a brilliantly comprehensive instructional guide that every RKC and every serious athlete will want to watch and learn from many, many times.

Kettlebells From the Ground Up not only introduces you to the basics of the Turkish Get-Up, but provides you with all the tools you need to master this movement. In a carefully progressive, 7-step process Gray and Brett help you toward Get-Up perfection.

And as you would expect of these Masters of Movement Engineering, they don't just stop at showing you how to perform the exercise. Discover why the Turkish Get-Up is simultaneously a profound and broad-ranging assessment tool, a tremendously effective corrective strategy and a formidable workout where the sky's the limit for athletic accomplishment.

For lay comrades, the language is kept simple and clear. But for the pros who need the extra background, each of the 7 Steps has a "tips for Pros" section that alone is worth the price of admission.

The old time strongmen used the Get-Up as an "entrance exam" requiring a 100-pound Get-Up on each side before beginning any other training. The Turkish Wrestlers used the Get-Up to train for combat and grappling. And today the Get-Up represents an opportunity for everyone to regain the "beautiful strength" and symmetry that our so-called fitness routines should bring us—but invariably don't!

As Gray Cook has so eloquently stated: "modern fitness techniques can actually allow us to stack fitness on dysfunction." Meaning that we can actually take a "bent frame" and put a bigger engine in that car. Not a great idea…

To perform safely at our peak, year-in, year-out, we need to cultivate a "symmetry of strength and movement". Enter the Get-Up!

Because the Get-Up can provide us with that crucial Left to Right assessment of movement and strength… At each of the 7 steps on the Kettlebells from the Ground Up DVD you will know if the movement, stability and strength is equal. The exercise actually becomes an assessment.

"Some schools of Chinese medicine…refer to the shoulder and hip joints as the Four Knots and where there is an imbalance of tension or strength in any of the Four Knots problems…can occur…" Dr. Mark Cheng brings us this excellent description of the interplay between shoulders and the hips. Modern reductionist fitness philosophy has people attempting to isolate pieces and parts of the body into something called "fitness". But this is simply not how the body works. Movement is an incredibly complicated concert of agonist/antagonist muscle action coordinated by a web of neurological input.

So how about simply cutting to the chase—while maintaining this exquisite integrity— by performing an exercise that requires us to move our body around a stabile shoulder coordinated through mobile hips? Sounds like the Get-Up doesn't it? Correct. Correct…

The beginning for the Get-Up represents a very primitive rolling pattern. Many of us actually lose this rolling pattern as we age. But loss of this fundamental pattern can—and usually does—create a cascade effect through the body of dysfunction and compensation.

If an individual is having issues with the beginning of the Get-Up it could be because of a defective rolling pattern—and working on the first part of the exercise can "bring back" this primitive movement pattern. With a welcome upgrade to your overall athletic performance.

When you progress through each step of Kettlebells from the Ground Up, you'll be self-engineering a whole series of similar athletic performance breakthroughs, one building on the next for an ever more elegant and powerful overall result.

If you're currently dissatisfied in ANY WAY, by the quality of your movement, then you owe it to yourself to grab a copy of Kettlebell from the Ground Up NOW—and fix what needs to be fixed.

If you don't oil your vehicle or don't put air in a flat tire, you're heading for serious trouble. It's not a case of if, it's a case of when.

Our bodies are no different.

Unfortunately, we often scrimp and shortchange our bodies by neglecting or procrastinating on this crucial self-maintenance. Ironically, often the more skilled we are as athletes the more procrastinate on fixing our dysfunctions. Bad idea!

The Kettlebell from the Ground Up program—designed by two absolute masters of the game—could just be a life-saver for your athletic performance. Go for it!

Customer reviews of: Kettlebells from the Ground Up Average Rating 9.6 in 30 reviews

Words cannot describe.. Rated 10 out of 10 how magnificient this book and DVD is. Here is a true testament to the power of beautiful strength.I coach some of the best swimmers Denmark has to offer. Swimmers are notorious known for having bad shoulders and I am constantly working on perfecting their movement patterns. One young female swimmer (16 yrs of age) was having servere lower back and shoulder pain. Her FMS score was an asymmetrical 11 with pain. In 8 weeks the situation had greatly improved. For the first four weeks I worked with her TGU the Khalos Stenos way and then added the kb swing after that. So basically she was doing the PM for her conditioning with a emphasis on the Khalos Stenos progressions. Her FMS score is now a symmetrical 19 and just set 7 danish national records. All painfree! The most important program for anybody is in my mind the PM with the TGU done Khalos Stenos style- It is truly a life of learning with amazing results! thank you Gray, Brett and "Doc" Kenneth Jay, MRKC - Denmark A" workout " with one "exercise" Rated 10 out of 10 I am a Physical Therapist and Personal Trainer working with patients and clients with a wide variety of impairments and functional limitations. For me, having good instruction on how to implement movements like the Turkish Get Up safely with patients and clients has been most helpful. The information for the professionals section was well done and each step is easy to access when one needs reviewing. I have taken the FMS and the SFMA and seen each of the Secrets Of (Core, Primitive Patterns, Shoulder, Hip and Knee) series and reference is made to some of that material which is helpful if the professional needs further reference. If your a professional working with clients or patients who have performance or weight loss goals you WILL benefit greatly from watching these DVD's and using the information as instructed. Thomas Perreault, DPT Tommyp07 - Rochester, NH Excellent! Rated 10 out of 10 I'm not a physical therapist, coach or RKC. I'm just a regular guy who loves to train with kettlebells; particularly the Turkish Get Up. When I found out about 'Kettlebells from the Ground Up' I jumped on it. I'd been doing 24kg get ups with really good, Hard-Style form. After one session of practice with my 16kg using the drills from this package, I discovered where my body really wants to be during the TGU and I could feel my form improve throught the session. The gentlemen who have produced this material have done a great service for me. I'll be using 'Kettlebells from the Ground Up' as I progress through the weights. This manual and DVD set is worth every penny. Bill Shailer (bill1156) - Cheshire, CT USA I hate this DVD...... Rated 10 out of 10 I've been working with kettelbells for 2 years now. I've tried the TGU over and over, hating every minute of it. I never felt comfortable in this exercise. Cook and Jones have broken this exercise down incrementally, allowing even a heavy weight like myself to perform and benefit from this challenging exercise.I regret not having this information 2 years ago to start with. You will not be disappointed in this DVD. Joel H. - Oklahoma Back to the Basics Rated 10 out of 10 The DVD is a must for all fitness professionals who are using the FMS and corrective exercise with their clients. Gray and Brett break every step down for a complete understanding of the TGU. The manual and the "tips for the pro" is a true bonus!!! As a Physical Therapist I use the steps of the TGU as critical exercises in re-establishing the athlete's functional movement patterns. Chuck, MPT, M.Ed, CSCS, RKC, CK-FMS - Pasadena, MD Yes! I am ready to take my strength, energy and health to undreamt-of new heights thanks to Kettlebells from the Ground Up. I want to order Kettlebells from the Ground Up NOW and understand that I am ordering with ZERO RISK because Kettlebells from the Ground Up comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee for one full year! Perfect! Rated 10 out of 10 Kettlebells fromt he ground up was just perfect. I was stuck on the 40kg Get Up for a few weeks and saw no progressions. After buying Kettlebells from the ground up within 2 weeks i was doing the48kg BEAST! Just the small technique tips and progressions were well worth the money. The "progressive get-uop" is now my staple warm-up for all my clients. Thank you Stephen Macioci Owner head Coach CrossFit IGNITE Westwood NJ www.crossftiignite.com Stephen Macioci CrossFit IGNITE - Westwood NJ. www.crossfitignite.com An exhausting few weeks... Rated 10 out of 10 Front and center, I need to say this: I never understood why we did Get Ups. I have to admit that the work of Dr. Mark Cheng and his clarification of the exercise made me "better" at teaching it, but I had no idea why. Then, I watched the DVD and read the manual. My dear Team Leader Jones and Gray Cook have taken this exercise and turned it into your "one stop assessment" tool. I looked like a genius yesterday when I took a local professional strength coach through the basics of what I learned from the DVD and I was more amazed than him when I was was finding issues by simply walking him through the simplest parts of the material. Mark's accompanying manual, by the way, is now the standard for the industry. Every one else is going to be judged by this manual. Stop asking "why hips high" and get the DVD. Stop asking why we do Get Ups. It will be so clear by the finish that you will come back to understand that the Program Minimum CONTINUES to be under appreciated. How do I know? Well, I didn't appreciate it! There is a genius behind the Swings and Get Ups and most of us just miss it. I "thought" I knew swings. I did Swings, I got the RKC, I became a Team Leader, I did clinics, I spent more time listening and learning, then...I got the insight that Swings and planks are the same exercise. Bang! New breakthrough... KFTGU is the breakthrough in the Get Up. The "four knots" alone should open the eyes of any one interested in building strength or "whatever." Hats off to you Gray, Brett and Mark. You not only sold me on the Get Up, but now I do them every day as a basic part of our training and ongoing assessment. I went from "whatever" to "whenever and whereever" with the Get Up. We are in the midst of a great moment in the development of kbell work and this DVD and manual basically have set the standards for the rest of us on training the lift. I can't recommend it enough. Dan John - Murray, UT USA Amazing Book on Movement and Stability Rated 10 out of 10 So glad I invested in this manual and DVD set. I really learned a lot from the whole series but particularly enjoyed the "Tips for The Pros Checklists>." The Turkish Get Up has always been a favorite of mine as well as my clients and I'm excited to apply this new knowledge. The "brettzel" is a great tool for Functional Movement and having just done it for a week I feel a new body "openness."Thanks for that and more! Buy this set if you are an RKC who wants to continue to give more to your clients. Invest in it if you're a kettlebell user who wants to reach your stability and movement capabilities. Sandy Sommer, RKC - Towson MD Paradigm Shift in Training... Rated 10 out of 10 I had a strong TGU before I purchased this set. I had been working it hard, great results were coming and I was proud of myself. I picked up the Kalos Sthenos because I figured my technique could use a little refining. A little? I wish. I had been doing a LOT wrong with the TGU, and this series showed me how to correct it quick fast and in a hurry. I was forced to "empty my cup" and take on a whole new method of thinking/training the TGU. I took a week off to practice the TGU with no weight and nothing heavier than a 12K. Once I got back to heavy TGU's my newfound strength surprised the hell out of me. I nearly hit a Get Up with a 32 and 16K bell stacked in one hand! Don't sleep on this set, EVERYONE can benefit and improve from the Kalos Sthenos. Beautiful strength indeed. Casey - Portland, OR Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Rated 10 out of 10 The authors of this DVD take what at first appears to be a complicated maneuver and by carefully breaking it down link by link, step by step, make learning the maneuver a very manageable task. I am not in the prime of life, being over 50 years old and overweight, so I thought that it would take me months of weight loss and strengthening to get through to the maneuver. However, since obtaining the DVD, I have been able to make progress that I thought would take me months. Richard L. - Miami, FL Yes! I am ready to take my strength, energy and health to undreamt-of new heights thanks to Kettlebells from the Ground Up. I want to order Kettlebells from the Ground Up NOW and understand that I am ordering with ZERO RISK because Kettlebells from the Ground Up comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee for one full year! See all reviews of Kettlebells from the Ground Up Fantastic DVD set Rated 10 out of 10 This is so much more than an instructional DVD on the TGU. These two experts take you through all aspects of the TGU and at the same time provide an invaluable understanding of how your joints come into play. The DVD breaks down every aspect of the TGU so you can work on your weak spots and develop your entire body from this one exercise. I have been performing TGU's for over a year (not that long I know) and thought I was doing pretty well - after watching the DVD I'm now working on each individual step in the process as an entire work out and making substantial gains in all areas of my fitness program. As an old powerlifter with years of hard core training under my belt, I can't say enough about how this DVD provides a better understanding of body and joint control which everyone who wants to better themselves needs to know and embrace. Buy it you will not regret it! Tom Edling - San Diego, CA Mysteries of the TGU Revealed? Hardly. Rated 3 out of 10 I have been a kettlebell enthusiast from Day One (I bought my first kettlebell from Dragondoor's initial production run in 2001)and took a seminar with Pavel himself way back in 2002. Pavel has always taught the TGU, but back then the movement was basically "start on your back and end up standing with the weight over head, any way you can." The original signature RKC were the swing, press and snatch. Over time the TGU--and particularly the highly-stylized Kalos Thenos version--has overtaken the press and snatch as the companion to the swing as the key drills in the RKC movement. I bought Kettlebells From the Ground Up with the hope of learning why. I have to say that I am very disappointed by this production. I own every kettlebell DVD that Pavel has put out, and Kettlebells From the Ground Up does not compare. Pavel has a very high ratio of content to words; alas, Gray Cook and Brett Jones are the inverse, with a very high ratio of words to actual content. Dragondoor advertises Kettlebells From the Ground Up as "an inch wide and mile deep" exploration of the TGU, but if there is a mile of anything, it's blah, blah, blah piled up through two DVDs that proclaim the TGU as the one-and-only exercise you'll ever need--but never exactly show why that is. Messrs Jones and Cook are both very earnest and amiable presenters, and Mr. Cook in particular is well-spoken, confident and passionate. But those qualities were not enough to offset my disappointment in the content of this DVD set. Gary Karl - Rochester, NY USA Get it, get up, and get results. Rated 10 out of 10 I think the most valuable piece to this work is that it brings the TGU to the fore. What a wonderful strength tool! Brett Jones and Grey Cook do a wonderful job stripping this exercise and its seven key components to the core making it accessible to anyone. At first I thought it was overkill, but as I've applied the information in this book, it has become clear why they provide so much of it. I can now easily press weight off of my shoulder that I couldn't budge before, and I owe it all to the TGU. It is also noteworthy that my previous pressing never helped my TGUs. Thanks guys! Keep up the good work. AKM - Oxford, MS USA Excellent Detail and Camera work Rated 10 out of 10 I picked up tons of tips and detils watching this video. I have watched other videos, but was missing a few key points. Plain and simple this dvd has it all. Mel Kukich - Irwin, Pennsylvania What is the answer? Rated 10 out of 10 Swings and getups. That answer comes up much more often than anything else in the Hardstyle school of kettlebell lifting. Pavel has described the swing as the "Sanchin Kata" of the kettlebells. If that is true (and I certainly ain't gonna be the one to argue with it) then the Kalos Sthenos Getup is the Sun Salutation. This product digs deep into the oldtime strongman and martial traditions, showing how to use the getup almost as a stand alone exercise system. Beautiful Strength indeed. Dave Whitley, SRKC - Nashville TN USA Yes! I am ready to take my strength, energy and health to undreamt-of new heights thanks to Kettlebells from the Ground Up. I want to order Kettlebells from the Ground Up NOW and understand that I am ordering with ZERO RISK because Kettlebells from the Ground Up comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee for one full year! Worth every penny, and more Rated 10 out of 10 I'm a newbie. In March, I could't even do 1 pull up. I started kb swings and tgu. after maybe 2 weeks, not only could I perform 1 pull up, I could do 2 without kipping. I noticed too that my shoulders were already getting stronger. I didn't think that just performing that static pressing the kb could make my shoulders strong so quick. I decided to look more into the TGU. I bought the KBFTGU. Was I shocked at how wrong I was doing the get up. This program teaches you the correct way to do a tgu, gives you exercises and stretches to do, to help you perform each stage of the movement correctly. Learning the "Brettzel" was worth the price of admission by itself. Now after a month with the program , I can perform 8 TGU on each side ( not alternating arms) with my 16k bell, and I can perform 10 pull ups. I think that the TGU is one of the best exercises that anyone can have in their toolbox. Get the dvds and manual, if you want to improve how you do the movement, and increase your overall strenght. James Lippiatt - Miami, Florida United States Learn the proper way to preform a TGU Rated 10 out of 10 THE KBFTGU manual and DVD are invaluable tools to have my kettlebell training. I have learned something new about the TGU every time I practice the movement. When I started training with kettlebells in March 09, I couldn't preform one pullup, and I couldn't even hold a negitive but for maybe a second or two. Once I started practicing the TGU, I didn't think that this simple movement would do much good. At this time I had a 25lb kb that I purchased from a sporting good store. I was able to "get up" fairly easy with this bell. Well within a week of starting TGU, I was able to preform 2 pullups with my head way above the bar without any struggle at all. Never in my life have I been able to do a single pullup. The only difference was that I had stared training TGUs. Now its July 09, and I can proudly say that I can perform 8 great pullups and can do 3 pullups with the 25lb kettlebell hanging on my foot. To make a long story short, If I can increase my overall strength from 0-8 pullups almost overnight using just swings, and TGU anyone can. The manual and DVD will get you performing the TGU movement correctly, giving you extra stretches, and exercises to to help your body move in the correct pattern that it was meant to move in. I know this review is long, just trust me, get the dvd, practice the TGU the way Mr Cook, Jones, and Cheng suggest. I promise if you do, you'll see great gains. This movement, simple yet complex, is in my opinion the best exercise anyone can do for their body. James Lippiatt - Miami, Florida United States Thorough & knowledgeable Rated 10 out of 10 Gray and Brett provide easy to follow, step by step, instruction on the seven positions for the TGU. I find that referring to both the DVD and the manual ensure refinement and mastery of the technical aspects of each position. I replay each chapter of the DVD as often as I need and I keep the manual by my side when I'm on the floor for easy reference. You won't find better instruction anywhere. These guys are experts. Presented in an engaging and friendly manner. Tom Snow , KB user 2.5 years. - Montecito, CA 93108 The second DVD in the package is very good. Rated 7 out of 10 Kettlebells from the ground up comes with two DVDs and a spiral-bound reference book. The first DVD is hardly worth watching, anyone who would spend the money to buy this already knows that the Turkish Get-up is a great exercise and doesn't need to spend an hour being told this again. In contrast the second DVD is terrific - the get-up is broken down into 7 movements and each is clearly expalianed and demonstrated along with a number of supplimental exercises and stretches. The book is a useful reference when you don't want to go back and watch the second DVD again but it could have been better. In many places in the book is is suggested that for more information on a topic you need to buy the "Secrets of ..." series of DVDs by the same authors. Given the price of KBs From the Ground Up, I felt a little insulted by the numerous sales pitches for other products and that it would have been entirely appropriate to put a lot more supplimentary material into the book. Pete Whittaker, a sometimes athlete/engineer - Golden CO A "Real World" Review Rated 10 out of 10 I admit it: I always hated the Get Up. I just didn't see the point. Yes, for wrestlers and fighters, I saw the point, but what about the rest of us? Then, at the USMC Cert, Dr. Mark Cheng simply said to me: "It might take years to mine all the gems in the Program Minimum." The PM, as we all know, is simply mixing the Swings and the TGU. Well, anything Mark tells me is something I take to heart. Was I missing something? When I first popped open, "Kbells from the Ground Up," and started watching and taking notes, I was amazed. As a strength coach, this little series of "moving moments" gave me a daily chance to assess my athletes (up to 65 at once!) without anything more technical than "raise your right leg" or "roll your head." Folks, as a coach, you can have 30 assistant coaches running around but you never get the feedback that you need. With the KS system, the athlete "knows" that this or that is stiff or weak and can instantly apply the fix. These past three months have been amazing in the community. Jay's VO2 book has changed the teaching of the snatch, the new "Return of the Kettlebell" is the standard for teaching "the next level," and "Kbells from the Ground Up" will change the way you think and approach the Get Up forever. It is a one stop assessment tool, a great workout and a magnificent book. I can't recommend it enough. Even if you don't coach a dozen athletes, use the tools in this work on yourself and amaze yourself with the simple insights about day to day issues that you instantly address in just a few minutes of "testing." Great, great stuff... Dan John, RKCTL - Murray, Ut Yes! I am ready to take my strength, energy and health to undreamt-of new heights thanks to Kettlebells from the Ground Up. I want to order Kettlebells from the Ground Up NOW and understand that I am ordering with ZERO RISK because Kettlebells from the Ground Up comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee for one full year! Great information Rated 8 out of 10 Grey Cook and Bret Jones are masterful in their presentation of the material. I have been doing the Turkish Get Up for years. In my mind I had more than mastered the technique. Little did I know just how much I was missing. The TGU is the staple of my work out routine. This DVD set improved my TGU performance and allowed me to focus on my week points, which in turn strengthened my entire work out. Thank you sooo much for for such an AWESOME product. I'm a customer for life. Martin Knott - Warrenton, Virginia USA Get It...You Won't Regret It Rated 10 out of 10 This is an extraordinary and creative reworking of the Get Up exercise. It will entirely revamp your approach to the Get Up in your own exercise regimen. If you teach, it offers a whole new level of movement ideas, screening and corrections. These tools are useful not only with the Get Up but with any number of exercises that use related movements. My complete review can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/c5m9vx Randy Hauer, RKC-Team Leader, USAW Coach - West Chester, PA Simple AND Easy... Rated 10 out of 10 The TGU is on the surface, a simple exercise. On the surface... Beneath it, however, lies possibly one of the keys for making life easier, which of course, we all want. In order to do that you need to buy "Kalos Sthenos," watch and read it, and practice it. A lot. Why? Because you'll be stronger, move better, and well, what else is there? (Disclaimer: Even though "Kalos Sthenos" means "beautiful strength," you will not become more beautiful from watching this DVD. Sorry Brett...) This DVD breaks down the TGU into 7 steps, which, I will not spoil for you. It also shows you how to become better at each step, identifying restrictions and providing corrections, for a stronger, more fluid performance of the TGU. It essentially disassembles the TGU, examines each piece, refines it, and then puts the whole thing back together. This not only makes the TGU performance easier, but for those "in the know," it becomes a movement screen in and of itself for more "advanced," yet surprisingly simple exercises. Learning how to get the most out of the TGU, which you will once you watch this DVD series and practice its contents, will automatically make everything else just feel easier. Why make life harder than it hast to be? Get "Kalos Sthenos" today and make life easier. Geoff Neupert, SrRKC - Durham, NC A lot more than meets the eye Rated 9 out of 10 This product has helped to redirect my thinking towards simplifying my training. The complexity of a lot of workouts these days can often be a bit much to digest. Having watched this I learned that getting a solid basis with this one 'simple' move would be well advised, before embarking upon the more complex programs (or lifts) that are commonplace these days. Though it is just one movement, it seems to encompass a lot of different capabilities of the human body : getting up off the ground, stabilizing a weight etc, and the authors have really detailed the different stages of the movement. Dr Mark Cheng's mnanual really increased the accessability of this product, and I'd be delighted if he would write some for the previous 4 secrets videos (sorry mr Cheng if they send some unwanted workload your way). I'm only working on the very beginning techniques and still taking in all the material, but am very encouraged that my future training will improve. The authors should be proud of this production. Anonymous - ireland A must have Rated 10 out of 10 Excellent, documented, detailed explanations, instructions and pointers for learning the TGU. Indispensable for those who like me, for lack of time and because of personal inclination, are mostly learning from books, on their own. Fabulous for everyone. Look out for anything Brett and Gray put out: these guys know and know how to teach: tanks a whole lot. Filippo Cavalieri - NYC Yes! I am ready to take my strength, energy and health to undreamt-of new heights thanks to Kettlebells from the Ground Up. I want to order Kettlebells from the Ground Up NOW and understand that I am ordering with ZERO RISK because Kettlebells from the Ground Up comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee for one full year! Word class instruction Rated 10 out of 10 As I already own Gray's 'Secrets' series DVDs, I found the first DVD of this two disc set somewhat boring, given that it goes over ground previously covered. However, the second disc more than makes up for any misgivings I had in buying this product. Quite simply, the viewer is presented with world class instruction in the finer points of the Get-up, especially when Gray and Brett's 'tips for the pros' are taken into consideration. Mark Cheng's superb accompanying manual is also a world class resource. As someone who'd previously avoided the Get-up due to chronic neck issues this product has convinced me to attempt the exercise again while providing me with the information to do so safely and effectively. Highly recommended. Mike Barkess - Durham, UK Excellent DVD Rated 10 out of 10 I was reluctant at first to purchase this DVD-afterall,I have used KBs for several years and was able to perform TGUs.Recently,I have simplified my workouts and have made the TGU one of the centerpieces of my program.I figured what the heck,I'll get the DVD and see what it's all about.The instruction, clarity,and graphics are excellent. The analysis of the TGU into small building blocks along with the corresponding drills is the best I've seen on the subject.The manual is a perfect companion piece to the DVD. For anyone(from beginners to advanced) who wants to learn the TGU,this product is essential. Steve - Florida,USA AWESOME instruction easy to follow and VERY HELPFUL Rated 10 out of 10 As a Kettlebell enthusiast and Personal Trainer I use the TGU and it's parts every day. This is THE "how to" and "WHY TO" do the Turkish Get up and use it to enhance what ever else you do. side note: My Disc 2 has had some issues, too... restarts itself or stops half way through the 7 steps when I select "play all"; but all steps are watchable. Steve Rowe - West Haven CT USA Disappointed Rated 10 out of 10 While this video was extremely instructive, the second disc has bombed on me after only a few times through. gpierce3@tampabay.rr.com - Tampabay, Florida The Geek and the TGU Rated 10 out of 10 I'm not in the fitness profession. I'm the IT director for a school district. Unfortunately, I, like many many IT professionals, spend way too much time at a keyboard. The end result was predictable. I decided to do something about this a couple of years ago and started losing weight and exercising. I found out about kettlebells a about 9 months into this process after reaching a plateau. I've been doing swings and the TGU all this time, but have never fully understood why the TGU was such a wonderful exercise. After all, I'm a geek, not a fitness pro. After reading this book and going through the videos, I have a much better appreciation for all the finer points of the TGU. I highly recommend this for anyone serious about working with kettlebells. Bob Munds - Clinton, IL USA Yes! I am ready to take my strength, energy and health to undreamt-of new heights thanks to Kettlebells from the Ground Up.

Rated 10 out of 10 Words cannot describe.. how magnificient this book and DVD is. Here is a true testament to the power of beautiful strength.I coach some of the best swimmers Denmark has to offer. Swimmers are notorious known for having bad shoulders and I am constantly working on perfecting their movement patterns. One young female swimmer (16 yrs of age) was having servere lower back and shoulder pain. Her FMS score was an asymmetrical 11 with pain. In 8 weeks the situation had greatly improved. For the first four weeks I worked with her TGU the Khalos Stenos way and then added the kb swing after that. So basically she was doing the PM for her conditioning with a emphasis on the Khalos Stenos progressions. Her FMS score is now a symmetrical 19 and just set 7 danish national records. All painfree! The most important program for anybody is in my mind the PM with the TGU done Khalos Stenos style- It is truly a life of learning with amazing results! thank you Gray, Brett and "Doc" Kenneth Jay, MRKC Denmark

Rated 10 out of 10 A" workout " with one "exercise" I am a Physical Therapist and Personal Trainer working with patients and clients with a wide variety of impairments and functional limitations. For me, having good instruction on how to implement movements like the Turkish Get Up safely with patients and clients has been most helpful. The information for the professionals section was well done and each step is easy to access when one needs reviewing. I have taken the FMS and the SFMA and seen each of the Secrets Of (Core, Primitive Patterns, Shoulder, Hip and Knee) series and reference is made to some of that material which is helpful if the professional needs further reference. If your a professional working with clients or patients who have performance or weight loss goals you WILL benefit greatly from watching these DVD's and using the information as instructed.
