Kettlebell Movement of the Week: 3/8
The goblet squat is one of the easiest ways to learn and reinforce the basic squatting movement pattern. We have used this movement pattern successfully with clients ranging from adolescent to older adult. Unlike most movement patterns with weight involved, this one is more difficult to execute incorrectly, which is why we like it so much.
In addition to the goblet squat, the front squat is a staple of this program and one of the best movements for developing leg strength and flexibility. It teaches intra-abdominal pressure, which is paramount to improving strength gains and preventing back pain.
Squatting Standards:
A “neutral” spine is maintained
The heels and the toes are planted
The knees track the toes
Pause momentarily at the bottom while staying reflexive
Drive feet down into the ground to stand up
The hips ascend at the same rate as the shoulders, not faster
The hips and knees ascend fully at the top of the squat

I can feel it. The confirmation is in the air, its the inspiration for all the smiles, the influence behind the light-hearted moods.
