Kettlebell Goblet Squat · Preview

STEP 1

Setup

Hold the kettlebell handle with both hands in front of your chest. Keep your elbows close to your torso and brace your core to stay balanced.

STEP 2

Start phase

Lower slowly as you send your hips back. Press through your whole foot and keep your knees from collapsing inward.

STEP 3

End phase

Drive through your whole foot to return to the starting position. Keep your core braced as you rise so your torso stays steady.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Feel your glutes and quads working together. If the kettlebell drifts away from your body, bring your elbows closer to your torso.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Using momentum out of the bottom can increase stress on your knees. Pause briefly to check your position before coming back up.

STEP 6

Breathing

Inhale as you lower and exhale as you rise. Keep your breathing natural instead of holding your breath.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Turning your toes slightly outward may make your hips feel more comfortable. The most important thing is to repeat the movement through a stable, pain-free range.
