How to perform Kettlebell Front Squat with proper form

Setup

1. Position the Kettlebell: Hold a kettlebell in front of you with both hands. Your palms should be facing towards you, with the kettlebell resting against your chest.

2. Stance: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out.

Execution

1. Engage Core: Tighten your core to stabilize your torso.

2. Squat Down: Push your hips back and bend your knees, lowering your body into a squat. Keep your elbows close to your body and your chest up.

3. Depth: Go as low as your flexibility allows while maintaining a neutral spine and ensuring your knees track over your toes.

4. Ascend: Press through your heels to return to the starting position, straightening your legs and pushing your hips forward.

Tips for Proper Form

• Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
• Keep your weight distributed evenly on your feet.
• Avoid letting your knees buckle inward.
• Keep the kettlebell close to your body during the squat.

Common Mistakes

• Leaning too far forward.
• Not squatting low enough.
• Losing balance or letting the kettlebell drift away from the chest.

Safety

• Use a weight that allows you to maintain proper form.
• Ensure a clear space around you to prevent injury.
