Kettlebell Front Squat
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Begin the exercise by pushing your hips back and bending your knees, lowering your body into a squat position.
Make sure to keep your chest up and back straight as you lower yourself, with your knees tracking over your feet but not going beyond your toes.
Continue lowering yourself until your thighs are parallel to the floor, or as low as you can comfortably go.
Push through your heels to stand back up to the starting position, keeping the kettlebells at your shoulders throughout the movement. Repeat this process for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Correct Positioning: Hold the kettlebell at chest level with both hands, keeping the elbows tucked in close to your body. Avoid holding the kettlebell too low as it can lead to strain in the back and shoulders. Controlled Movement: Don't rush the movement. Lower your body into the squat slowly and rise back up in a controlled manner. Avoid bouncing at the bottom of the squat as it can lead to injury. Depth of Squat: Aim to squat as deep as your flexibility allows, ideally until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Squatting too shallow can put unnecessary strain on your knees
