Exercise Profile

Kettlebell Squat Uneven Weighted Overview

The kettlebell squat uneven weighted workout is designed to primarily target the quads, glutes, and obliques.

By using a kettlebell, the workout adds an extra challenge to traditional squats, engaging the targeted muscles more effectively.

While the kettlebell also activates secondary muscles, such as the hamstrings and calves, the focus remains on the primary muscle groups.

Kettlebell Squat Uneven Weighted Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out.
  2. Hold a kettlebell in your right hand, with your arm extended down by your side.
  3. Bend your knees and lower your body into a squat position, keeping your chest up and your back straight.
  4. As you squat down, allow the kettlebell to hang freely between your legs.
  5. Push through your heels and stand back up to the starting position, keeping the kettlebell close to your body.
  6. Repeat the squat motion for the desired number of repetitions, then switch the kettlebell to your left hand and repeat the exercise.

Kettlebell Squat Uneven Weighted Tips

  1. Start with a kettlebell in one hand, holding it at shoulder height. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out.
  2. Engage your core and keep your chest up as you lower into a squat, pushing your hips back and bending your knees. Aim to get your thighs parallel to the ground.
  3. Focus on keeping your weight evenly distributed between both legs, despite the uneven weight of the kettlebell.
  4. As you rise back up, drive through your heels and squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement to fully engage your glute muscles.
  5. Throughout the exercise, maintain a strong connection between your obliques and hips, keeping your torso stable and preventing any twisting or leaning to one side.
  6. Perform 8-12 reps on each side, alternating the kettlebell between hands, to ensure balanced development of your quads, glutes, and obliques.
