The Goblet Squat: A Step-By-Step Guide
-
- Take a kettlebell or dumbbell and hold it in front of your chest.

- Keeping your core tight and your torso upright, breathe in as you lower down as if you were sitting in a chair.
-
- At the low point of the move, your head and torso should be upright, your butt pushed back, your legs at 90 degrees, and heels firmly planted on the ground.

- Pause for 1 second at the bottom, then breathe out, and push through your heels back to an upright position.
