Goblet Squat July 13 2014

Starting position: Feet shoulder width apart, toes slightly pointed out. The kettlebell should be held at chest level, some places like to hold by the handle and others put the kettlebell upsides down. We prefer holding it by the handles. 

 

The descent down again begins with the hips as if you are beginning to sit. 

The final position will be at the bottom of the squat. It is important to at least hit parallel and if capable, pass below the hip crease. If you can not reach parallel, go as far as you can without any pain and you may also place an object below your butt to touch. Most depth problems are a mobility issue and more stretching is in order. 

Be sure to keep the kettlebell at chest level the entire movement.
