Front Squat - Kettlebell
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Start by holding a kettlebell in each hand in front of your shoulder with your knuckles facing up and your elbows under your wrist. Keep the elbows at your side and squeeze your shoulder blades back. While maintaining this position, bend your knees and hinge forward at the hips while keeping your chest up. Go as low as you feel comfortable with and keep your feet flat on the ground. At the low point, push into the ground with your feet and return to the starting position.
- FEEL: You should feel the muscles in your lower body working and shoulder.
- COMPENSATION: Keep your back upright and chest up. Keep your elbows in at your side as you squat.
