Goblet Squat

DESCRIPTION/INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell at chest height.

  2. Place your feet about shoulder width apart with your toes pointed slightly outwards.

  3. Squat down until the crease of your hips drops below your knee cap, then stand back up.

HELPFUL CUES:

  1. Experiment with your feet slightly wider and slightly narrower to find the most comfortable position for yourself.

  2. Point your knees in the same direction as your toes as you squat.

COMMON MISTAKES:

  1. Not squatting deep enough. For a full training effect for your legs, make sure your hips drop below your knees before you stand back up.

  2. Pitching your torso forward as you stand up. Focus on driving your shoulders up at the same time as your hips so that your body is moving in unison.
