Statistically, the most dangerous thing you do each day is get in and out of the shower. Why? Because so many people fall getting in and out of the shower. Add to that the fact that after the age of 55 you’re more likely to outlive cancer than you are to outlive falling and breaking a bone or a joint (in a five year window) and we officially have a bad combination.
Falling is clearly a bad thing which would lead us to believe (or know for fact;) that getting up is a really, really good thing.
Before I go on, if there are any fitness purists reading this…chill out. This is NOT a Turkish Get-up. This is survival.
Anyway, we use get-ups on a weekly basis with our clients not only because it will likely increase their time on this earth but also because it can be a sneaky hard workout if done correctly.
Try 5-10 minutes straight or 100-200 get-ups for time.
Enjoy!
