Squatting is a foundational human movement pattern. Your ability to squat well impacts everything including posture, gate, getting up from a chair, and playing with your kids or pets. If you’re new to weighted squats, goblet squats are a classic…and for good reason. They can be more accessible than other types of squats due to the position of the weight, which acts as a counterbalance for the bodyweight behind you.

How to do a Goblet Squat

1. Bring the bell into the goblet position(full video click here).

2. Adjust your feet for comfy squatting.

3. Draw your hips down toward your heels with core engaged and chest open.

4. Create tension in your abs with a forceful exhale and continue a hardstyle exhale to press up to standing.
