It's about moving well. Listening to the creaks,becoming aware of where your body has the 'brakes' on, the turkish get-up shines a light on your movement, good and bad.
Use the 5 minutes as an opportunity to learn from a whole-body perspective. As you press the weight up overhead, take your time to feel that weight transfer to elbow, heel... and pay attention as you lunge up. Feel the weight and listen.
Pick an appropriate weight and get up!
Today it happened to be a 24kg bell for 5 minutes.
If you don't have this skill, find someone (i.e. an RKC instructor) and learn it.
As an added challenge, do this with an cup of water balanced on your fist instead of using weight. The worst thing that happens to you is you get wet. The coolest thing that could happen: you develop a heightened body awareness and a mastery of the movement. The cup never lies :)
