kettlebell squat

Move of the week!

Need a new move to spice up your workout? This week we're loving the kettlebell squat!

Works
Thighs, bottom and core

How to do it
1) Stand with your feet wider than hip-width apart, and your toes slightly turned out. Hold a kettlebell in your right hand so it rests against your forearm and raise your arm straight up.
2) Put your left hand out on your hip for balance. This is your starting position.
3) Squat down so that your hips are just higher than your knees, keeping your right arm still.
4) Push through your heels to return to the start and repeat. Change arms for the next set.

Beginner: 2 x 8 reps each arm
Intermediate: 2 x 10 reps each arm
Advanced: 2 x 12-15 reps each arm

Safety tip
Keep your back as straight as possible throughout
