Goblet Squat

A squat variation where the weight is held in front of the body, enhancing core engagement and balance.

Instructions

• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell or kettlebell with both hands in front of your chest.
• Keep your chest up, back straight, and core engaged.
• Lower your body into a squat by bending your knees and pushing your hips back.
• Go down until your thighs are at least parallel to the ground.
• Push through your heels to return to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Allowing the knees to cave inward while squatting.
• Rounding the back instead of keeping it straight.
• Dropping the chest too low during the squat.
• Pushing through the balls of the feet instead of the heels.
• Lifting too quickly without control.
