Kettlebell Goblet Single Leg Squat Tips

  1. Focus on your form: Begin by holding the kettlebell close to your chest with both hands, ensuring a firm grip. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, and shift your weight onto one leg.
  2. Engage your core: As you lower yourself into the squat position, keep your back straight and your chest lifted. Engaging your core muscles will help stabilize your body and maintain balance throughout the exercise.
  3. Control the descent: Slowly lower your body down, keeping your knee aligned with your toes. The controlled descent will activate your quadriceps, ensuring they are fully engaged during the exercise.
  4. Drive through your heel: As you push yourself back up to the starting position, focus on driving through your heel. This will activate your quadriceps even more, allowing you to fully utilize the muscle group and maximize your strength gains.
  5. Progress gradually: Start with a lighter kettlebell and gradually increase the weight as your form and strength improve. This will help you avoid injury and allow your muscles to adapt to the increasing demands of the exercise.
