How to Kettlebell Front Squat

Starting Position

1. Lift the kettlebell in front of your shoulders.

2. Spread your legs shoulder-width apart and turn your toes out about 20 to 30 degrees.

3. Keep your chest up and your back straight.

Proper Form

1. Tighten your abdomen and keep your waist straight, then bend at the hip to lower your buttocks down.

2. Allow your knees to bend naturally until your thighs are parallel to the ground.

3. Push strongly through the center of your feet to rise up.

4. As your buttocks rise, straighten your knees and hips in sequence, and return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in when going down, and breathe out when going up.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to lean your upper body too far forward.

2. Keep your chest up and engage your core to avoid bending your waist.

3. Don't excessively bend your waist while trying to keep it straight.

4. Please do not stick your hips too far back.

5. Make sure your feet do not lift off the ground.

6. When standing up, please ensure your knees do not come together.
