"RunnerWorldTV" - no wonder why they totally screwed this exercise up. She should be careful, that 5 pounder she is holding could fall on her and she could end up with a really bad bruise. She should drop it down to 3 lbs just to be safe.
If I might make a suggestion: try doing it with a medicine ball....you'll have to observe better form (to side, then one-arm bridge, etc) and it'll force you to keep the shoulder more engaged
I think this is the Israeli variation. I know a trainer who uses it as a fitness assessment. Personally I think it's a waste of time. Try doing this method with a 48kg kettlebell.
Her arm should remain perpendicular to the ground, with an active shoulder, controlling the weight- not just supporting it. Authentic TGU are done from laying on ones side, to knee, to full stand and back again.
This movement would not be successful if done with a higher weight.
I love kettlebell training... the turkish getup really works my abs especially the obliques. (rather than boring situps:)~ The key is slow steady movements to engage all muscle groups. I would recommend trying it without your kettlebell for the first few sets.. looks easy..... doesn't it? Well it isn't. : ) Talk all the **** you want.....
OMG! So sad really, that misinformation like this is continually perpetrated on the American public; and by Runner's World no less. (This is not a TGU.)
Thank you RunnersWorldTV for showing people what a Turkish getup shouldn't look like..

Worthless technique!!! with a way to low weight even for her.
Sad to look at i hope no one tries to mimic her crappy posture.

Modified TGU. A real TGU with KB would not work this way.

Almost like reverse burpees. Good for cardio as well.

I think at this point saying anything negative would be like kicking a dying dog in the head.
