How to do a kettlebell goblet squat

Setup:

1. Kettlebell Position: Hold a kettlebell by the horns (the sides of the handle) close to your chest. Keep your elbows pointed down.
2. Stance: Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out.
3. Body Position: Engage your core, keep your back straight, and head in a neutral position.

The Lift:

1. Initiate the Squat: Bend at the hips and knees simultaneously, as if you're sitting back into a chair. Keep the kettlebell close to your chest.
2. Descend to Depth: Lower yourself until your thighs are at least parallel to the ground.
3. Drive Upwards: Push through your heels to stand back up, extending your hips and knees simultaneously. Maintain an upright torso and keep the kettlebell close to your chest.
4. Repeat: Breathe at the top, reset your position, and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:

• Elbow Position: Keep your elbows tucked in close to your body throughout the movement. This helps maintain an upright torso and engages your core.
• Foot Position: Keep your weight evenly distributed on your feet and avoid letting your heels come off the ground.
• Breathing: Inhale as you descend into the squat and exhale as you push back up.
