Front squats are classic weightlifting movements which help you gain strength in your quads, glutes, and hamstrings, thereby helping you gain speed and power. It also simply helps you with everyday living.

I’m using a kettlebell here as an alternative to the barbell. Kettlebells are nifty and very viable options for weightlifting without the use of barbells.

Key points:

- Feet shoulder width apart with toes slightly turned out

- as you squat, keep knees driving outward

- keep posture as upright as possible by using your upper back muscles and midline stability

- drop the shoulders and pull them back

- at the bottom of the squat, don’t collapse...see the ya engaged.

**to bring the kettlebell to chest height, you must “clean” it. Notice in the video how I do this. I drive through the hips and don’t use my lower back at all.
