Exercise Description

Goblet squats build leg strength and teach perfect squat form. They're the best way to learn squats safely while working your entire lower body.

How To

1. Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell close to your chest with both hands, elbows pointing down. 2. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out. 3. Start the goblet squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees to lower down. 4. Go down until your thighs are parallel to the floor, keeping your chest up throughout the goblet squat. 5. Push through your heels to stand back up, squeezing your glutes at the top.

Form Tips

• Keep the weight close to your chest during the entire goblet squat movement • Your knees should track over your toes, not cave inward • Keep your core tight and chest proud throughout each goblet squat rep • Go slow and controlled - no bouncing at the bottom

Common Mistakes

• Letting knees cave inward instead of tracking over toes during the goblet squat • Holding the weight too far from your body, which throws off your balance • Not going deep enough - you need to hit parallel for full goblet squat benefits
