Notes: Double-under practice or single-unders can be used as a modification for double-unders. If you do not have a jump rope, perform quick, alternations foot taps on a plate or step.

The Turkish get-up begins prone (lying flat) and moves to standing. Switch arms in the prone position. If your weight is too heavy, try using an object that is light, but demands stability and balance, such as a large ball.
