Kettlebell Goblet Squat Mobility
A slow goblet squat holding the kettlebell by the handle at the chest, with a pause in the bottom where the elbows press the knees out; a mobility drill for the hips and ankles.
How to do it
Setup
Feet a little wider than the shoulders, toes out, the kettlebell held by its handle in both fists against the chest.
Steps
- Sink slowly into the deepest squat you can hold.
- Press the knees out with the elbows and stay there, breathing.
- Stand up slowly and repeat.
Common mistakes
Bouncing in the bottom: settle into it and stay still. Back rounding as you sink: go only as deep as the chest stays up. Heels lifting: keep the whole foot down; widen the stance if needed.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
