Goblet Squat with Modified Stance (Exercise Classification: Intermediate)
Equipment: Kettlebell*
*If you do not have a kettlebell, don’t worry! You can use a standard weight, a milk jug full of water, or anything that weighs ~5-10 pounds that can be safely held in your hands. You can also modify by doing the exercise without any weight.
Description:
- Start standing with feet shoulder distance apart. If it feels better to you, move your legs further apart or closer together.
- Hold your weight in your hands in front of your chest with your elbows bent
- Holding the weight in this position, squat down by sitting your bottom down and back as if trying to sit in a chair and bending your knees.
- Gently exhale through your mouth as you stand back up
- Reps will vary depending on the weight you use and your prior fitness level but you want to perform a number where you feel tired on the last repetition but could still do 3-4 more if you had to.
