The motion induced in the squat is simple yet challenging and is ideal for developing the muscle groups found in the legs. Primarily, this exercise targets the hamstrings, quads, and glutes. In addition, the dumbbell goblet squat targets the upper body and the core for a complete body workout.

Instructions

Step 1: Stand straight and hold one end of the dumbbell with both hands firmly. Hold the dumbbell close to the chest while ensuring stiff shoulders and a straight back.

Step 2: Move the dumbbell towards the floor as you transition yourself into a squat. Ensure that the back and the torso profile is kept constant during the entire exercise routine.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position by pushing upwards using your heels and knees.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tips: Stand firm and rest the body on the entire foot. Do not overload while performing the dumbbell squat as this could lead to a serious injury.
